The and... Podcast

Why and... ?

Have you ever stopped and thought about the word “and”?  It’s a rather small word, with such a large and important purpose in our communications.  “And” adds to something...it joins things... concepts....people.  

That’s the theme of this podcast.  

Let me give you an example: I’m your host, Shawn Welty.  While I am the host, I’m also a therapist, a member of a large family, a self-professed geek, AND a music lover.  See what happened there?  If you just limited me to one role or descriptor (host, son, geek, music lover, OR therapist), you'd miss the depth of experiences that myself as a person provides.  The same can be said for different aspects of life.

The and... Podcast from Synergy Counseling Services, LLC extends our Mental Health Services beyond the therapy room with grounded, compassionate conversations on mental health, relationships, and personal growth. Episodes explore real-life “and” moments - feeling anxious and capable, grieving and moving forward, wanting connection and needing boundaries - helping you hold multiple truths with clarity. Listeners gain practical tools, reflective prompts, and evidence-informed perspectives to strengthen coping skills, communication, and self-understanding. 

Together on the podcast, we will explore how several topics synergize with others, how they merge together and complement each other, rather than look at it from a typical “either/or” or "but" format.  Each episode will focus on how human behavior and psychology are  involved with these different topics.  We will hear from various everyday people - and maybe even some more known people as well - and hear their takes on topics that they are passionate about.  

The podcast is ideal for clients, caregivers, and anyone seeking support but isn't quite ready to reach out for therapy.  Each episode offers accessible guidance you can apply in everyday life. While it's not intended to be a replacement for therapy, The and... Podcast has interviews with everyday experts who may offer you some wisdom to help you start on your journey.  I invite you to join me as we meet these amazing people and share in their experiences on The And… Podcast.
