Untherapeutic
Let’s be honest, therapy is expensive, lacks diversity and not always easy to access. But thankfully, this isn’t therapy. Hosted by Dr. Nic Hardy, Psychotherapist in Houston, Texas - Untherapeutic explores common relationship problems seen behind closed doors in counseling. The topics explored on this podcast are centered around unaddressed issues in relationships. A healthy blend of professional and personal perspective, Untherapeutic tackles common relationship challenges that are overshadowed by popular opinion, media, and celebrity personalities. Untherapeutic gives voice to real problems and normalizes the experience of everyday people.

If you are in a relationship or have considered being in a relationship, social media has played a role in some way.
