For Natasha Merchant, a rising senior at East Stroudsburg University, psychology is more than just her major – it’s a source of comfort and healing that she has seen the positive effects of firsthand. Merchant, a member of ESU’s University Honors Program from Bushkill, Pa., is so drawn to the subject that she has immersed herself in a trio of research projects at ESU, including one with a deeply personal connection. Merchant’s mother was born in Pakistan and lived in Jordan as a child before moving to the United States as a teenager, where she raised Merchant and her four brothers as a single parent. Though her mother grew up around American culture, the stigma around mental health in her home countries lingered, impacting her decision to talk with a therapist.
