HeyJaredThe Therapist Who Came Undone
Psychologist and writer, sharing (anonymously, for now) from both sides of the therapy room. This is where the mask comes off. I write about falling apart and the messy, brave work of becoming real—with painful honesty, compassion, and authenticity.

How Can This Be?* (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m sure many of you have read about the recent lawsuit against Cornell University. If not, I want to warn you that what follows is deeply disturbing.

Drunk Girls Can’t Consent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A brief note before today’s essay: I wrote this piece weeks before the recent allegations at Cornell became public. The timing is coincidental, but the news is a painful reminder of how much it matters what we talk about with our children, and what we model for them, before we send them out into the world.____________________________________________________________________________I’m writing this six hours and forty-three minutes into a seven-hour-and-eleven-minute drive.

What I found instead was a community I never expected, and a place that has helped me learn to be myself.Now I’m taking another step toward something I want so incredibly much: getting my book out into the world.

Read excerpt
Have you noticed that GLP-1s are everywhere?I first learned about them in a professional context.
