The Resilience Doc
A voice for military women's resilience.
Dr. L. Imani Price is a licensed psychologist, Army veteran, and founder of Centers for Counseling and Wellness, International. As a fourth-generation member of an Army family and a former Army psychologist, she brings lived military experience and clinical insight to conversations about the strengths, sacrifices, and well-being of women who serve.
She developed the CARESS framework, a six-pillar approach to self-compassion, self-acceptance, rest and recovery, eating well and exercise, social connections, and strategic self-care. Her guiding belief: self-love builds resilience.
Her featured appearances span military and veteran conversations as well as earlier talks about women's mental health, leadership, and self-love. Those historical topics are preserved below as originally presented.
