Long Story Longer Podcast

The Long Story Longer Podcast looks at various mental health topics through the lenses of a psychotherapist and a psychotropic medication prescriber. Sometimes there is a gap between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and our hope is too bridge that gap. We hope to do this in a fun and informative way. The creators offer perspectives on diagnosis, management, therapy, medication, our own professional/personal experiences, and whatever else we want to talk about. Our goal was too keep each episode around 15 minutes but due to focus issues sometimes we go a little bit longer.
