What is 30 Second Therapy?

Therapy, distilled.

  1. 01

    A real question

    Couples, trust, recovery, grief, boundaries. The things people actually ask a therapist.

  2. 02

    One honest insight

    Three decades of clinical work, said plainly, without the jargon.

  3. 03

    Thirty seconds

    Short enough to watch twice. Clear enough to use today.
