Heal Play Love University (formerly 'Can We Talk?') is a youtube channel dedicated to psychology, therapy, relationships, healthy living, well-being and the like.
This channel should not be considered therapy, nor a substitute for therapy. If you need help with any mental, emotional, family or relational struggle, please seek help from a qualified professional in your area.
In case you are interested in the specifics, I'll break it down for you. (I’m nice like that.)

While I am a therapist, this is not therapy. I’m hoping it’s going to be everything you ever wanted to know about therapy but were afraid to ask. But really, it’s just my little ol opinion put inio put into a therapy vlog.
If you are triggered by any of the topics discussed, or if you would like help with a life transition or any type of mental health issue, please find a therapist in your area. You can do an Internet search, ask a friend for a recommendation, or a doctor for a referral.
Many religious organizations offer faith-based counseling and many professionals offer counseling online. Or, you might prefer a support group, where several people gather to process a similar issue or life circumstance together, usually with the assistance of a Group Facilitator.
Now, if you are a client, or ever want to be a client, you may not want to watch my videos. Some will contain self-disclosure. Knowing personal stuff about your therapist is deemed to be burdensome for clients because the client can end up feeling bad for the therapist or take on the therapist’s emotional struggle rather than focus on their own work. This is not my intention.
When I post about me, it is stuff I’ve worked through, and I don’t want anyone to feel bad for any struggles I’ve personally encountered. I count it a blessing to suffer trials and I’m hoping some of my life experience- along with my education, training, and clinical experience- will benefit those who watch the videos I post here.
Nevertheless, if you are- or ever want to be- a client- don’t watch my videos! For the rest of you, I will provide links to any resources I’ve used in the description of each video.
This will be done so I can provide proper credit to original sources, and so you can learn more on the topic if you choose.
