Therapists IRL

Welcome to "Therapists IRL," the podcast where we keep it real, bringing you candid conversations with real-life therapists about their real-life struggles. Join us as we cover everything from personal journeys with mental health issues to toxic relationships, family dysfunction, addiction, and the everyday challenges they face outside of the office.

Hosted by Steph Hill and Jen Starkey, two practicing licensed therapists with a passion for breaking down walls and busting myths. With episodes dropping weekly, we invite you to sneak a peak into the authentic and unfiltered lives of these two therapists, and their therapist guests.

Whether you’re a fellow mental health professional, a therapy enthusiast, or you’ve never even stepped foot inside a therapist’s office, "Therapists IRL" is your go-to source for genuine conversations about the mental health struggles we all face, and the healing that is possible. Through this podcast, we hope to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help by highlighting that therapists, like anyone else, grapple with their mental health and emotional well-being...and healing is possible.

Host

Stephanie Hill

Meet Steph, your go-to therapist with a heart for animals and 80’s boy bands (well, really just the one– NKOTB– if you know you know). Steph is a long-time therapist who specializes in trauma, rescues greyhounds in her free time, and dreams of carefree days splashing around the beach. Most importantly, she is Mama to some fabulous fur babies, four pups and three cats to be specific.

Together with her podcast-partner-in-crime, Jen Starkey, Steph keeps it real as she invites you into the trials and tribulations of real-life therapists. "Therapists IRL" aims to destigmatize mental health issues, normalize the struggle, and raise awareness through a message of hope and healing.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even find your own path to therapy enlightenment with Steph and Jen on "Therapists IRL." Because believe it or not, your therapist is human too…We may be a little bit nuts but a lot relatable.
