You’re Invited To Be A Guest Host
The Trauma Therapist Podcast
Thank you for your interest in being a guest host on The Trauma Therapist Podcast!
The Trauma Therapist Podcast with thousands of downloads per month is a leader in the mental health and trauma spaces, in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide and was voted among the top Mental Health Podcasts of 2023, 2024 and again in 2025
My purpose in starting the podcast was, and remains to this day, to increase the awareness of trauma but also to highlight the importance of humanness in trauma care and the mental health space. That’s what I love focusing on during my interviews.
Why bring Guest Hosts on?
What I’d like to do—and the reason I’ve reached out to you— is because I enjoyed having you on the podcast but I also highly value the work you do and feel you could offer a lot to my audience.
I’m inviting a select number of people who specialize in a variety of areas to become a guest host in order to provide a more nuanced and increased learning experience for my listeners.
Guest Hosting FAQs

I am offering however, a space for my guests to promote themselves and their work to a highly dedicated audience.

This is not about perfection!
Nothing I do is about perfection!
This is about heart and humaneness.
We can edit stuff out!!
-
Generally speaking I do next to no editing.
If I cough or sneeze, then yes, of course.
But otherwise, I just move on.
This is not about perfection. It's about heart and soul.
If you'd like to edit it, then you're free to do so!
Otherwise, once the interview is recorded over Zoom or Riverside, you can email the file back to me and we'll take it from there!

At this point we’re several months out from scheduling.
I’m happy to work around your schedule also, if you have something you’d like to promote during a certain date.
