I don't know how people can live without a therapist.

There are more than enough people with serious mental issues who really do need professional help without all the other Toms, Dicks and Harriets rushing to the therapist's couch.

Therapists need to give a depressed patient support and direction.

I think everyone should sit down and write a book. It's a lot like therapy but a lot less expensive.

There's a stigma on the word 'therapy.' People relate it to big problems. That's something we have to change. Going to therapy can be very healthy. It can change the way you see things and treat others.

Therapy's like going to the gym.

I understand what it's like to go to hospitals and there's no medicine, and the best thing you have to give the patients is compassion.

This is really America in therapy, people trying to get themselves together and be whole.

As I've met clinicians in my travels, time after time I've been inspired to hear why people went into medicine: to apply their way-above-average minds (and hearts) to work that's beyond most people's capacity, and perhaps save a few lives.

Therapy needs to be integrated. You mustn't forget about a patient's emotional wellbeing. It is vital to the outcome of their treatment.
