STRAIGHTOUTTATHERAPY
with J.Lo — Justin Lokay, Mind Dojo co-founder
Honest conversations about mental health, recovery, and what care actually looks like when no one is performing for the camera.
Honest. Clinical. Human.
Guests range from licensed clinicians and addiction specialists to people in recovery, parents of teens in crisis, athletes, first responders, and the occasional skeptic. We talk about what works, what doesn't, and what nobody tells you.
Justin draws on his own journey through severe anxiety and depression to push the conversation past surface-level wellness talk. The result is a show that takes mental health seriously without taking itself too seriously.
Recurring Themes
- What therapy actually looks like — modalities, expectations, and the parts no one talks about.
- Recovery, MAT, and the long arc of getting your life back.
- Teen mental health, parenting through crisis, and how schools fit in.
- Trauma — somatic, relational, generational — and the science behind treating it.
- The intersection of clinical care and wellness — what to trust, what to skip.
