Ever wondered what happens when a licensed family therapist and a standup comedian are also sisters? That’s the unique dynamic at the heart of My Sister's A Therapist-Mental Health, Wellness, and Healing with Humor. Hosted by Virginia Jones and Laura Ryan, LMFT, this conversation feels like you’re sitting in on a deeply personal, often hilarious chat between siblings who’ve seen it all. Laura brings professional insight from her therapy practice, while Virginia offers the comedic relief and pop culture savvy, making topics like anxiety, trauma, and personal growth surprisingly approachable.
