Therapy in the Open
What if therapy wasn’t so private? Let’s talk about what happens inside the room. Therapy in the Open invites you in with raw, real, and (HIPAA-compliant) conversations about people’s problems—and the imperfect humans helping them through it.
Hosted by therapy insider Holly Little Van Straaten—a therapist, a client, and your big-hearted guide through the messy, unpredictable, and beautiful world of healing.
So whether you’re a fellow therapist, a curious client, or just someone trying to figure out life, Therapy in the Open is here to educate, entertain, and, most importantly, connect.
Because at the end of the day, it's is all about the relationship—so let’s build one.
