There are advice columns. And then there’s Dear Therapist, which is like listening in on a private session with the psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb.
With her signature compassion and insight, she helps readers navigate the complexities of human relationships, like the “golden” daughter who feels like her siblings resent her, the husband who’s considering leaving his high-school sweetheart for his co-worker, or the colleague who was the other woman.
Gottlieb’s advice, which is published by The Atlantic once a month, is intimate yet universal—and always as nuanced and multifaceted as the people she helps.
