In recognition of Women in Medicine Month this September, we honor Dr. Cashuna (Shun) Huddleston, a licensed psychologist whose tireless work is breaking barriers and transforming the mental health landscape for Black women and beyond. Dr. Huddleston specializes in evidence-based treatments for co-morbid physical and psychological disorders, anxiety, and depression, and is dedicated to improving mental health care for clients of all ages and backgrounds.

She completed her internship residency training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine, equipping her with a robust foundation for addressing complex mental health challenges.
Her commitment to advancing the wellbeing of women of color is evident in her noteworthy accomplishments.

Dr. Huddleston has been recognized with various prestigious awards, including the MLK Dream Award from the 40 Acre Conference and acknowledgment as one of the Top Influential Women of Houston.
As Past President of the Psychology of Black Women, Dr. Huddleston organized the significant event '100 Black Women in Psychology' at the American Psychological Association conference, creating a vital platform for representation and dialogue in the field. Additionally, she serves as a mentor for Black female high school students interested in pursuing careers in psychology, encouraging the next generation of mental health professionals.
Beyond her professional commitments, Dr. Huddleston is a mental health expert in the Suits for Success program, where she provides guidance and support to young male athletes. Her dedication extends beyond her practice, making a considerable impact on the lives of many youths.
