Therapy for Women
Our Podcast
In a world obsessed with quick fixes, licensed therapists Amanda White and Sam Dalton embrace the complexity of real mental health. Nuance Needed cuts through black-and-white thinking to explore the messy gray areas most content creators avoid. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal struggles, we have candid conversations about perfectionism, burnout, relationships, Tiktok trends and how today’s culture shapes our mental wellbeing. No oversimplified advice—just honest dialogue about what healing actually looks like.
This mental health podcast is for people who know that psychology deserves more than a soundbite. Join us every Wednesday as we offer perspectives that balance evidence based practices and the complicated reality of being human.

When Nuance Matters More Than Likes
The internet is full of quick fixes and viral mental health trends. But you’ve noticed something: the more a piece of advice goes viral, the more it seems to miss the point. You’re not looking for another “5 simple steps to happiness” or “cut toxic people out” post. You’re here because you understand that real growth lives in the nuance.
Why We’re Different (And Why That Matters):
We’re two licensed therapists who chose depth over algorithms. While others chase viral moments with oversimplified advice, we’re building something different: a space where complexity is welcomed, questions are encouraged, and real growth happens.
