Tales From the Chair

Health EN ↓ 65 episodes

I've seen a lot things in my many years of providing therapy. And I have a lot of stories. I share thoughts on topics present in mental health, and bring up funny and sometimes more serious stories to look into various issues. I will be looking at stats to understand trends and behaviors better, and we'll follow some how-to’s on managing issues. We'll also be having some guests on for Fireside chats - story time with knowledgeable insight, intertwined with casual banter about our daily lives.
