I really connected with Sharon Spell. Sharon is a comedian and podcast host of https://www.facebook.com/TheSharonSpellShow I had that rare feeling of a new best friend - brought down by the reality that we're all too busy to hang out anymore. Sharon spoke honestly and directly about drinking, divorce and how great things are now after all she's been through. Her guy she's with now is a keeper! #co...

Eric Doeringer is a close friend of mine and an accomplished, prolific artist whose work has been widely reviewed, exhibited and collected worldwide.

Noah is always entertaining and as publisher of Whitehot Magazine very plugged into what's happening in a variety of art scenes. I was loving his hilarious Instagram/twitter combo posts with some great art/artist/artworld insights so I thought I would have him on Dr. Lisa in order to find out more about what these thoughts of his directly. This session did NOT disappoint! Check out Noah's Instagra...

Susan Rousseau came in for a therapy session and she did a lot of hard work! Susan is charming and smart, the host of a great talk show, New In New York on RFB every Tues. 9am. Susan is very successful in television, most recently the interview producer for Desus & Mero. Susan, with a great TV career is obviously very talented, but like way too many of us, underestimates herself. In this session w...

I first met Martin Kramer when he was about 9 years old—his dad, artist David Kramer, brought him over to join in on a father/son therapy video I was creating. Martin is, above all else, a creative soul that marches to his own drummer. I can't help but think his highly active creative parents along with the myriad of opportunities that come with growing up in Manhattan have enriched his experience...

Emily Flake is a hugely successful New Yorker cartoonist, MOTHER, wife and so much more. She is inspiring but in the best most real way. She breaks down motherhood for me in a manageable way. Emily Flake began cartooning for The New Yorker in 2008 and has had more than a hundred cartoons published in the magazine since. Her cartoons, essays, and illustrations have also appeared in Mad, the New Yor...

Leah Schrager and I were aware of each other because we both do therapy as an art endeavor. Leah does work as Sarah White, the Naked Therapist. But her work is much more multifaceted than just one character and one medium. We had a fascinating discussion where we hopefully helped clarify what her controversial work is about since it rides the line between pornography and art and is often (I believ...

Kelsey Caine has invented an inspired hit, #METOO character, Penis C K. where she… well… see it for yourself here: https://twitter.com/kelsey_caine/status/1035573794516160512?lang=en Kelsey tells us the story behind Penis C.K., including her experience of buying a “realistic” penis, and the joys and fallout of going on tour with this character. We also learn that Kelsey comes by this hilarious act...

This is the third year in a row that Ben has been my first guest of the year. Ben is 30 now, and if you follow Ben's story, this year is a triumph!

Recently, Ben was actually one of 4 people from Sirius to be on a Zoom with LL Cool J! Although pers...

Ben Louis is one of our RFB hosts with his top rated show, https://radiofreebrooklyn.com/show/ben-talks/ I know Ben a bit from the station and his show, but he surprises me with his openness about discussing his recent breakup with his long-time girlfriend. Ben hasn't been in therapy before, and I have to say, I didn't expect our session to get this deep. So much so, that I invited Ben back the ne...

I really enjoy spending time with fellow RFB host Benjamin Louis, of the ever popular, Ben Talks. Over the last few years, we have done many an RFB boondoggle together. Also Ben has been my first guest of the year, this being the second year in a row. In this session, we reflect on Ben’s previous two sessions, where his life has gone, where it’s going and how he’s grown. Ben, 29, talks candidly an...

Great session today with Finley Christine! We talked about her experience at The Whitney Houston Biennial https://www.whitneyhoustonbiennial.com/ (mostly great), what she learned (engage with young collectors!) and her family and childhood-unconditional love and a hospice worker mother - and more that is too personal for writing here! See Finley's art here-she wallpapers DUMPSTERS all over the wor...

Brian Andrew Whitely installed a Donald Trump tombstone in Central Park that took him on a trip with reality, ie: the authorities, FBI, the media, death threat phone calls, that I don't think him, his wife and two children could have anticipated. If you know Brian casually, he's presents a stiff upper lip guy, but Dr. Lisa won't buy it and insists on digging deeper. Shout out to our mutual galleri...

In case you live in a part of the world with no news coverage, on October 3, 2020, Radio Free Brooklyn erected the “Wall of Lies,” a 50-foot by 10-foot outdoor mural with the 20,000+ lies told by Donald Trump (so far) while in office, documented and fact-checked by The Washington Post. The project was conceived and executed by RFB Executive Director Tom Tenney and Bushwick artist Phil Buehler. I k...
