Queer Therapists Talk Wayward

Bonus Episode - Twin Peaks and Wayward  

Fabulous and nerdy queer/trans psychotherapists Avery (they/them) and Em (they/them), team up to deep dive into the psychology of Netflix's Limited Series Wayward starring Mae Martin.

They discuss major themes in the show like the mother wound, queer/trans representation, filming production elements, and seek to answer big questions like "what's really going on with all that brie?" 

Each episode invites a guest for even more nerdy cuteness. 

Patrick Fagan is a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who works with  queer couples (and folks in all sorts of other relationship structures) and queer adults seeking support in areas like non-monogamy, intimacy, kink, sex and dating, communication, neurodiversity, substance use, trauma, anxiety, and burnout. Patrick joins them for a very special bonus episode to discuss the many parallels between Twin Peaks and Wayward.

Patrick Fagan (he/him), AMFT, is a psychotherapist who works primarily with queer couples (and folks in all sorts of other relationship structures) and queer adults seeking support in areas like non-monogamy, intimacy, kink, sex and dating, communication, neurodiversity, substance use, trauma, anxiety, and burnout.

Before becoming a therapist, Patrick, who received a Bachelor of Arts degree in graphic design from American University, spent decades in creative leadership roles in media and tech. He supports many clients who are artists, athletes, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and performers, and he has firsthand knowledge of the challenges that come with working in high pressure environments.

Patrick received his Master of Arts degree in integral counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco, where he had the pleasure of learning from Em and Avery. He now teaches a course in psychodynamics as adjunct faculty at CIIS.

Patrick is Staten Island transplant based in the Castro in San Francisco. You can learn more and reach out to him at pfagantherapy.com.
