Dr. Dylan Richard (they/them) / The Punk Psychologist

Areas of Interest & Expertise:
I’m a licensed psychologist, board certified sexologist, and certified Geek Therapist with expertise in trauma/PTSD, sexuality and sexual health, kink/BDSM, consensual non-monogamy and polyamory, LGBTQ+ mental health, adult autism and ADHD, relationships and intimacy, and grief. I also love talking about the psychology of pop culture, video games, horror, true crime, and other wonderfully weird things.
My work tends to focus on the places where psychology intersects with identities, communities, and experiences that traditional mental health spaces haven’t always understood particularly well.

I’ve been a podcast guest previously and also have extensive experience teaching, presenting, and providing professional trainings to both general and professional audiences. I’d love to host or co-host my own podcast if I had the production support!

Pitch:
I’m a psychologist who thinks conversations about mental health are a lot more interesting when we’re allowed to talk about the weird, messy, stigmatized parts of being human. I bring clinical expertise without the clinical jargon and am happy to have conversations ranging from trauma and neurodivergence to kink, queer relationships, video games, true crime, and why our brains do the strange shit they do. I don’t take myself too seriously either!

Edit: sorry I didn’t make it clear, I’m also completely open to guest spots, not just host/co-host!
