In this episode of the Just Therapy Series, I’m thrilled to welcome my friend and colleague, Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, also known as The Truthful Therapist. Pam’s story is incredible—she’s a licensed clinical social worker who’s worked in everything from inner-city schools to foster care to adult treatment programs. Her journey has taken some surprising turns, including becoming a public advocate for truth and empowerment in the mental health field.
We dive into some important (and sometimes controversial) topics, including:
How therapy has shifted in recent years and why staying grounded in objective truth matters.
Why parental involvement is critical in kids’ mental health and how to avoid “outsourcing” their emotional well-being.
Pam’s practical advice for families navigating challenges like gender identity confusion, as shared in her book, A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families.
The importance of empowering yourself to trust your instincts as a parent, a therapist, or simply a person navigating this complex world.
This is an eye-opening conversation filled with practical advice, real talk, and a lot of heart. If you’re a parent, a mental health professional, or just someone looking to better understand these issues, this episode is for you.

The content provided in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional mental health care, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your own licensed mental health provider or medical professional regarding your specific situation.
While I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, and my guests are also professional counselors, the discussions in this podcast are meant to offer general insights and should not be taken as personalized therapeutic advice. Listening to this podcast does not establish a therapist-client relationship with me or any of my guests.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or have thoughts of harming yourself or others, please contact a mental health professional, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. You can also reach out to a crisis hotline, such as the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 in the United States, for immediate support.
Every individual’s journey is unique, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another. Please use discretion and seek appropriate care as needed.
