Therapy That Doesn’t Suck

There are two kinds of people in the world:

1. People who have been to therapy.

2. People who should be in therapy.

I plan to spend my career working with both.

Someday, when I’m a fully licensed therapist selling my services to the world, I know exactly what I want to call my practice:

“Therapy That Doesn’t Suck.”

Because let’s be honest—therapy has a reputation problem.

The Problem With Therapy

People avoid therapy for a reason. Actually, for several reasons:

• It’s expensive. You shouldn’t have to choose between emotional well-being and paying rent.

• It can feel awkward. Sitting in a room with a stranger, talking about your deepest insecurities? Not everyone’s idea of a good time.

• Bad therapy exists. Too many people have walked away from therapy feeling unheard, misunderstood, or worse—judged.

• Finding the right therapist is a struggle. Ever tried dating? Finding a therapist is somehow harder.

But here’s the thing: good therapy doesn’t suck.

What Therapy Should Be

Therapy should feel like:
✅ A place where you don’t have to filter yourself.
✅ A conversation, not an interrogation.
✅ A mix of deep work, uncomfortable growth, and—yes—even humor.
✅ A space to be challenged, not just validated.

Too often, people only go to therapy when life is already falling apart.

But what if therapy wasn’t just about fixing what’s broken?

What if it was about building something better?

I don’t want to be the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes.

I want to be the kind of therapist who helps people actually live their lives—not just talk about them.

Therapy That Works

I once heard someone say, “I tried therapy, but it didn’t work.”

And I get it. Not all therapy works. Not all therapists are the right fit.

But you know what else doesn’t work?

• Going to the gym once and expecting abs.

• Reading one book and calling yourself an expert.

• Drinking one glass of water and assuming you’re hydrated for life.

Therapy is a process, not a one-time fix. The right therapist can make all the difference.

So yeah, “Therapy That Doesn’t Suck” might not sound professional.

But if you’ve ever sat through a bad therapy session, you get it.

If you’re in therapy (or thinking about it), I’d love to hear from you:
