We’ve got 700,000 mental health professionals in the United States. But the number of people who have a diagnosable mental health disorder is 75,000,000. The only way to solve this problem is to rethink how psychotherapy works: youtu.be/4VKLcNHWQJE

One of the most common questions I get is: "What's your advice for high school students interested in psych?" My gut reaction is, "I'm jealous you're thinking so far ahead cause I wasn't in high school." This video is my more thoughtful response👇🏽 youtu.be/Z7GrmvEpTGs

It's hard to be a college student right now. To make it a little less bad I made a video about the fastest way to learn psychology. Just remember the PEW method 👇🏽 Make your examples: 1. Personal 2. Emotional 3. Wild Then test yourself often. 📺 youtu.be/3W_skfqsT40

I used to help people overcome their sleep problems. Now none of the stuff I know is helping me to fall asleep. So I talked to psychologist @HelenHsuPsyD to get help. This is what happened: youtube.com/watch?v=iD7o8Ftq…
