Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy.

I am your host, Steve Bissan.

I'm an author and mental health counselor.

Are you curious about therapy?

Do you feel there is a lot of mystery about therapy?

The goal of this podcast is to make therapy and psychology accessible to all by using real language and straight to the point discussions.

This podcast wants to remind you to take care of your mental health, just like you would your physical health.

I will demystify what happens in counseling, discuss topics related to mental
