The Full Story
OUR BIOs
Meet Doc and Jess! The two hosts, best friends, and therapists talking nonstop about movies, shows, and all things cinema!
Dr. Sophia Murphy (DOC)
I've been a therapist for almost 2 decades and I've loved movies for much longer. Movies shaped my childhood as they brought joy and wonder and made me think critically about humans and their experiences. I have been fortunate to work with adults, adolescents, and children and have provided treatment to individuals, families, and groups. I predominantly focus on the value of multicultural competency and a deep exploration of the relationship between identity and health. I use movies and shows in my practice as a way to teach concepts, build empathy, and increase self-reflection.
Jess Fletcher
Call me Jess. I've been a therapist for nearly a decade and have always loved stories, film, and art. Over the course of my friendship with Doc, I have reignited my joy in cinema, now delighting in my solo trips to the movie theater. I feel so grateful to do the work I do as a therapist, providing care to the full life span and collectives (moresomes, families, couples). I hold a trauma-informed yoga lens, often focusing on re-connection between body, mind, community. I reference movies and metaphors in my practice as ways to foster self-compassion and awareness of how to feel connected to the human experience.
