The Therapist Poetry Podcast

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of The Therapist Poetry Podcast — where mental health meets creativity.

Hosted by therapist Ricky Western, this channel brings together counselors, survivors, and advocates to explore mental health through powerful spoken word, poetry, music, and honest conversation. Each episode opens space for raw stories of anxiety, trauma, OCD, grief, addiction, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, abuse, and healing.
➡️ Many guests are therapists themselves, sharing not only their personal journeys but professional insights into therapy, recovery, and emotional resilience.
Through the lens of creativity, we aim to destigmatize mental health, validate lived experience, and remind viewers that healing is possible. Whether you're here for inspiration, connection, or understanding — this is a safe space where vulnerability is honored and voices are heard.

Subscribe now to join the conversation — your next moment of healing might be just one poem away.
