Description

This is Drive Thru Therapy: The Real Sessions — real talk, no BS, a little heart, a lot of truth.

I’m Tala, a therapist who’s seen it all, and I’m here to make therapy actually useful for your everyday life.

We’ll get into relationships, mental health, life’s messes, and all the stuff people usually avoid — honest, unfiltered, and sometimes funny. Pull up, tune in, and let’s get real.
