I’m in a beer garden in Oakland, microphone in hand, I ask a young woman what she thinks the unconscious is. Her immediate answer? “That’s that shit that fucks with you!”
I was taught my job as a therapist is to “meet people where they’re at”. So, 2 years I ago stepped out of my office and went to the bar.
A Therapist Walks Into a Bar is a podcast in a narrative, conversational style that speaks to how messy, lonely, terrifying, and beautiful being human can be.

About Me
|
I'm Lily Sloane, host and creator of A Therapist Walks Into a Bar, and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in San Francisco, CA. As a therapist, I specialize in treating eating disorders, substance misuse, and helping individuals and couples with relationship issues. I also host a weekly advice show on BFF.fm called Radical Advice.
As much as I enjoy talking to people in my office, I'm driven by an impulse to get outside and connect in other ways. As one of the original creators of Sidewalk Talk, a highly successful community listening project that went international, I'm no stranger to talking to people on the street and I'm always excited to find new ways to expand the reach of therapy and encourage folks to self-reflect. I love writing, making music, performing, and getting involved in all kinds of creative projects. This podcast allows me to weave together my various passions in an effort to connect, find belonging, and help others feel they belong in a world that can feel pretty lonely and confusing. |
