In the premiere episode of Two Shrinks and a Mic, Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross get real about what it’s like to blend psychology and psychiatry in a field that used to keep them miles apart. With nearly 40 years of collaboration, they reveal what most professionals won’t: the best mental health care happens when egos are dropped and minds stay open.

From surprising stories of missed trauma to the powerful role of humor, listening, and lifelong learning, this episode is a refreshing take on what it really means to help someone heal. If you’ve ever felt confused about whether you need a therapist or a psychiatrist—or wondered why finding the right help feels so hard—this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

Hey everyone, and welcome to Two Shrinks in a Mic. I'm Dr. Andrew Rosen, and I am Dr. David Gross, psychiatrist. We are two long -term friends and colleagues who have been working together in mental health for, well, longer than either of us probably want to admit. Let's just say over 30 years, and in that time we've seen a lot, how the world's changed, how people are struggling and what actually helps.

That's why we started this podcast. We want to take everything we've learned about anxiety, depression, relationships, resilience, and break it down in a way that's easy to understand. We'll cover how to know if you could use a little help, what therapies really like, and how you can take better care of your mental health starting today. We will invite experts from different areas to join the conversation because together we can build a deeper, more complete understanding of mental health.

So, pull up a chair or a couch and be part of the conversation about the realities of life and mental health with us one talk at a time. This is Two Shrinks and a Mic. Let's get chatting. Follow us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your shows
