Welcome to the Therapist Confidential Podcast.
I'm your host Travis Heath and I promise to show up with all my complexity as a human being. I'll show up imperfectly. I'll show up messy and I'll show up honest.
Therapist Confidential is a raw, real, and unscripted podcast and I will push beyond the surface-level conversations. We'll dive deep into the successes, struggles, fears, and failures that reveal my guests in a way they’ve never been heard before.
Therapist Confidential is for all who are or will become therapists, people with interest in therapy work, and individuals who are genuinely interested in learning about what it means to be a therapist.

Rowing Toward the Same Shore: A New Kind of Therapy Podcast with Travis Heath
In this premiere episode, Travis Heath introduces Therapist Confidential—a podcast meant to challenge professional groupthink, elevate less-heard voices in the field, and foster honest, unscripted conversations about therapy.

Episode 2
"Travis Heath Didn’t Learn This in Grad School: From El Segundo to Therapist Confidential"
In this follow-up to the podcast's debut, Travis Heath invites listeners into his story—the pivotal moments, mistakes, and philosophies that shaped him as a therapist. From early days seeing clients in El Segundo to wrestling with what therapy even is, Travis reflects on the moments academia couldn’t prepare him for. Episode 2 continues to build the spirit of Therapist Confidential—raw, real, and relentlessly curious.
Episode 3
“Weird Therapy” with Clayton Norman
In this episode of Therapist Confidential, Travis Heath welcomes Clayton Norman—a fresh voice in the field, whose practice defies traditional formats. They explore Clayton’s creation of “skate therapy,” a blend of narrative and Adlerian play therapy delivered at skate parks, and how his background in youth work and summer camps has shaped his unconventional path. Together, they discuss the power of subculture, metaphor, and relationship-centered therapy, especially with adolescents.
