Welcome to "Lessons from the Couch", where we invite you to pull up a seat and join Corina and Mariana—two marriage and family therapists based in Illinois—on a journey through therapy, life, and everything in between. In each episode, we have honest and engaging conversations with therapists and non-therapists alike, exploring their unique experiences in and around therapy. Whether it's the story of a therapist navigating early career challenges or a non-therapist sharing how therapy changed their life, our goal is to show just how accessible and transformative these conversations can be.
We also dive into the diverse career paths and personal journeys within the field of mental health, from seasoned professionals to those just starting out (like Corina and Mariana, who are at opposite timelines of their own therapy careers).
If you're curious about therapy, mental health, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations, "Lessons from the Couch" is for you. Get ready to think, reflect, and discover new perspectives one conversation at a time.
Follow Lessons from the Couch on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts to listen to new episodes.
Co-Hosted by Corina Teofilo Mattson and Mariana Reyes Daza. Show art by Jae Avilez. Music by Brandon Acosta.

Welcome to Season 2 of Lessons from the Couch! Over the last few months, we have been having a lot of intimate, deep conversations with people about their journeys as therapists. This season, we are so excited to chat with our guests about their areas of knowledge and expertise, giving you a backstage seat to what it is like to discover your niche as a therapist. For those of you new to our podcast:
Corina:I'm Corina Maria Teofilo Mattson, and I am a psychotherapist and the current clinical director at Live Oak. I've spent the last twelve years working at and now running this organization. As a therapist and supervisor, I love finding chances to make the invisible visible.
Mariana:I'm Mariana Reyes Daza, and I'm a psychotherapist at Live Oak Chicago. Over the past few years, I dedicated myself to completing a degree in marriage and family therapy and now work with individuals, couples, and families in navigating their relationship and personal challenges. Aside from my work as a therapist, I love bringing creative ideas to life and doing this podcast has allowed me to connect both these passions.
Corina:We hope that this podcast shows you that everyone has a story to tell and deserves a chance to tell it for themselves.
Mariana:Look out for our episodes on the second and last week of each month available wherever you get your podcasts.
Corina:We have so many lessons left to learn.
Mariana:And so many stories still to tell.
