Wicked Psychotherapists
What do therapy, ’80s and ’90s nostalgia, today’s hottest shows and movies—and a surprising number of Adam Sandler films—have in common?
Tanya Dos Santos and Erin Gray—two licensed psychotherapists with a wicked New England twist—are here to spill the tea and the therapeutic insights.
On The Wicked Psychotherapists Podcast, Tanya and Erin break down the mental health themes that matter most—anxiety, identity, burnout, self-worth, relationships, and resilience—through the lens of pop culture. From the rad classics of the ’80s and ’90s to today’s buzziest series and films, nothing is off-limits… especially when it somehow connects back to Adam Sandler.
Yes, we said it.
From revisiting old favorites to analyzing newer Sandler movies—and exploring the six degrees of separation of Adam Sandler—this podcast blends humor, nostalgia, and psychological insight in a way that’s smart, entertaining, and refreshingly real.
Whether you’re comfort-watching a childhood favorite, bingeing something new, or wondering why a goofy comedy hit you right in the feelings, we’re here to help you connect the dots between what you watch and how you feel.
Expect:
- Candid therapy talk with heart and humor
- Pop culture deep dives with a mental health lens
- ’80s, ’90s, and today’s movies and shows (yes, including lots of Adam Sandler)
- A dose of nostalgia, a dash of sass, and a lot of wisdom

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah: Why Middle School Still Haunts Us

This week, Erin and Tanya discuss Netflix's You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah and find themselves unexpectedly transported back to the awkward, confusing, and sometimes painful years of crushes, friendship drama, embarrassing moments, and trying desperately to fit in.
From Stacy's obsession with the "cool" soccer player to friendship betrayals, social status, and learning how to take accountability for your actions, the movie does a surprisingly good job capturing what it feels like to be 13.
The conversation also explores people-pleasing, repairing friendships after trust is broken, social media's impact on today's kids, and why so many adults still carry middle school wounds decades later.
Along the way, Erin and Tanya share stories from their own adolescent years, debate Bat Mitzvah themes, and wonder why every town seemed to have that one older guy hanging around teenage parties.
Whether you loved middle school, hated it, or blocked most of it from your memory, this episode is a funny and thoughtful look at growing up, making mistakes, and learning that being mature sometimes means admitting when you're wrong.
