Therapists and mental health professionals are busier than ever, balancing client care, professional growth, and their own well-being. Podcasts have become one of the most accessible ways to stay informed, learn new modalities, and hear from voices that inspire. Whether you’re on your morning commute or winding down after sessions, the right podcast can deliver both education and encouragement.
Here are 8 of the top therapy podcasts in 2025 that clinicians consistently turn to for insight, growth, and connection.
1. Self Careapist Therapist Podcast
Hosted by Lorain Moorehead, LCSW, Self Careapist Therapist Podcast Most clinical podcasts cover either professional development or therapist wellness. Self Careapist Therapist treats both as non-negotiable with guest episodes featuring developers and originators of clinical frameworks, and solo episodes focused on burnout prevention and longevity in the field.
Highlighted Episodes:
Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) with Dr. David Jobes
Dr. Jobes has spent over 40 years researching suicide prevention and is the developer of CAMS, one of the most evidence-supported suicide-focused frameworks available to clinicians. In this episode, he makes the case for targeting suicidal ideation and behavior directly rather than treating it as a symptom of depression, and explains why the most common clinical responses, including hospitalization, often leave clients at higher risk than before. A conversation that will change how you think about suicide risk in your caseload.

AuDHD: Autism and ADHD Together with Dr. Tony Attwood and Dr. Michelle Garnett
Dr. Tony Attwood is among the most recognized clinical psychologists in the world on autism, and Dr. Michelle Garnett brings deep expertise in the overlap between autism and ADHD. In this episode, they break down AuDHD, the co-occurrence of autism and ADHD, as a distinct presentation that many clinicians are still underidentifying, particularly in women and girls. If you’ve ever had a client where the ADHD treatment isn’t landing the way it should, or the autism piece feels incomplete on its own, this conversation gives you a clinical framework for understanding why, and what to do differently.

2. The Science of Psychotherapy
Hosted by the editors of The Science of Psychotherapy magazine, this show covers the neuroscience and neurobiology behind clinical work — the kind of depth that bridges the gap between research and what you’re doing in session. Topics span neuroscience, neurobiology, brain science, and the elements that affect mental wellbeing, examined through the lens of how understanding them informs the practicing clinician. Worth noting: the benchmark analysis used to build the Self Careapist Therapist content strategy pulled this show for having one of the highest host-to-guest talk ratios in the entire dataset — a marker of real peer-level exchange rather than passive interviewing.
