In 2014, National Psychotherapy Day tried something new. Six practicing therapists took the microphone to share meaningful moments from their own work (confidentiality intact, of course) to demystify our work and inspire. I think you’ll agree they met their goal:

Joe Dilley, on being a therapist in therapy.

Christin Fort, on becoming a “seasoned” therapist as a grad student.

Deborah Buckwalter, on disability and humanness.

Martin Hsia, on overcoming guilt.

Christina Emanuel, on seeing past the diagnosis.

Silvina Irwin, on healing huge wounds in couples therapy.
