Sounds Like Therapy with Andrea Burkly is here to tackle the relationship struggles that keep you up at night. Let’s be real: managing the many relationships in your life—from your partner and kids to your co-workers, family, and friends—can feel like a full-time job. And it’s not always easy to talk about it, even with your closest people. That’s why each week, Andrea Burkly, a therapist and your honest, compassionate guide, dives into real-life relationship questions submitted by listeners just like you.
In each short, weekly episode, Andrea unpacks these messy situations, breaking them down to help you make sense of what's really going on. She’ll offer insight into human behavior, helping you find empathy for yourself and others, and share practical next steps so you can approach life’s toughest relationship hurdles with a little less stress. Whether it’s tackling issues in your marriage, sorting through parenting struggles, or navigating workplace dynamics, Sounds Like Therapy is your go-to dose of clarity, connection, and real-life advice. Because sometimes, what you need isn’t more self-help—it’s someone who really gets it.
