Dr. Lisa Gives a Sh*t

ABOUT THE SHOW: DR. LISA GIVES A SHIT

Dr. Lisa is fixing the planet one person at a time.

Tired of sanitized self-help and textbook therapy? Dr. Lisa cuts through the noise with raw, unfiltered conversations about the mental health challenges you're actually facing.

As a self-proclaimed psychotherapist unburdened by institutional constraints, Dr. Lisa delivers straight talk on everything from relationship dynamics to societal pressures with zero sugar-coating and maximum impact.

What sets this show apart? Dr. Lisa wields truth through humor, making even the heaviest topics accessible, entertaining, and surprisingly funny. Her sharp wit and irreverent takes transform traditional therapy talk into can't-miss radio that's as entertaining as it is enlightening.

This isn't your standard "how does that make you feel?" therapy hour. It's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable, always laugh-out-loud exploration of psychological truths mainstream practitioners are too cautious to touch.

Join our growing community of Brooklyn listeners who prefer their mental health wisdom served straight up, not watered down—with a generous side of humor that makes the medicine go down easy.

Listen to new episodes every Thursday 2-3pm on Radio Free Brooklyn. Over 300 episodes on the archives.


How Dr. Lisa was born: Dr. Lisa has been practicing unlicensed therapy since 2001. She’s worked with over 1,000 clients including artists, comedians, musicians, politicians, writers, actual shrinks, celebrities and complete strangers.In 2001, she added Self-Proclaimed Psychotherapist to her busy schedule as an art director and conceptual artist. As an art project, she conceived and produced a live show where she invited audience volunteers to have a quickie therapy session on a couch on stage with her, making fun of the fact that she had no experience, and showing off her forged diploma.Within a year she had a regular show, Psychotherapy LIVE! and a ton of press to go with it from places like, The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Village Voice and pretty much any NYC paper with a theater section. She started her radio show, Dr. Lisa Gives A Shit in 2015, and before the pandemic, continued to perform therapy live in front of audiences.With her lightning quick read of people and her forthright insights, she can get to the essence of what people are trying to communicate quickly, and her sense of humor keeps everyone out of trouble.Due to her genuine curiosity, thoughtful questioning and quick wit, Dr. Lisa’s guests/patients reveal themselves whether they are planning to or not. It takes either a willingness to divulge or a bit of courage to be on Dr. Lisa’s couch. In Dr. Lisa’s world, everyone can sit for a therapy session and anything can seem like a therapy session. https://listentodrlisa.com/ #jencatron #pauloutlaw More about Lisa HERE:
