Wicked Psychotherapists
What do therapy, ’80s and ’90s nostalgia, today’s hottest shows and movies—and a surprising number of Adam Sandler films—have in common?
Tanya Dos Santos and Erin Gray—two licensed psychotherapists with a wicked New England twist—are here to spill the tea and the therapeutic insights.
On The Wicked Psychotherapists Podcast, Tanya and Erin break down the mental health themes that matter most—anxiety, identity, burnout, self-worth, relationships, and resilience—through the lens of pop culture. From the rad classics of the ’80s and ’90s to today’s buzziest series and films, nothing is off-limits… especially when it somehow connects back to Adam Sandler.
Yes, we said it.
From revisiting old favorites to analyzing newer Sandler movies—and exploring the six degrees of separation of Adam Sandler—this podcast blends humor, nostalgia, and psychological insight in a way that’s smart, entertaining, and refreshingly real.
Whether you’re comfort-watching a childhood favorite, bingeing something new, or wondering why a goofy comedy hit you right in the feelings, we’re here to help you connect the dots between what you watch and how you feel.
Expect:
- Candid therapy talk with heart and humor
- Pop culture deep dives with a mental health lens
- ’80s, ’90s, and today’s movies and shows (yes, including lots of Adam Sandler)
- A dose of nostalgia, a dash of sass, and a lot of wisdom

Erin so glad you are feeling better. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to recover
oh this is neat! Loved this episode. That movie is so good.
Since you both are big Steven King fans. I would love to hear you talk about my favorite movie "Stand by Me". It is an 80's movie. If I am correct it is Ron Reiner's first movie that he directed. A lot of future stars are in the movie too.
this was an excellent episode!!!
loved the beatlejuice show. It reminded me how funny I thought the first movie was. I also love anything that reminds me of growing up in New England. Thank you! Erin stay safe in through the storm
I loved the ADHD show it was absolutely wonderful. I would love if you do a show on foster care and adoption. As a foster and adoptive parent I would love to hear about the positive impact on a family and people who never feel at home with their adoptive family. I know Erin we worked together. I would also love it if you talked about the need for fostering and adoption of animals. I'm a huge advocate for both. Paul Durand
I liked this episode. It is so weird that something from SO long ago could still have an impact even if somewhere down deep. I do believe that the home environment from which we come (and I could identify fully with both of you) is the major factor here. And how we approached such a hyped up time of our lives. Moving on IS important and I truly do not understand those that are still the ones that do all the reunions and in fact, still plan them as if it a prom 40 yrs later. (In my case). Thanks again for a great episode!! Hope my comment actually made sense-trying to write on the fly! 😂
this is very good one to have at the ready when the conversation comes up amongst people (debating, for example). The dept of Just does indicate that only dogs are considered service animals. Thanks guys! Great show.
