I am a queer, sober, neurodivergent, Jewish therapist, speaker and writer living in Philadelphia. I have been practicing psychotherapy and teaching about it for nearly 20 years. I love therapy and have long worshipped at the altar of it, but I have also become increasingly troubled by its misuse. Let’s call it a love/hate relationship; I am a truly ambivalent therapist. But, I am a clear thinker and feeler. There’s a lot that I know and more that I don’t. With that, I am hoping to shape dialogue in a way that repairs our relationships with both our own mental health and the provision of mental health services.
