The field of psychotherapy and people's understanding and reception of it has evolved in recent history. What was once derided and stigmatized as a sign of weakness and an expensive placebo has gradually been taken more seriously by people who have come to realize the importance of mental health and wellbeing. While the idea of a person seeing a therapist has been gradually embraced in society, the concept of a therapist seeing a therapist is somewhat unusual. This isn't to say that therapists shouldn't be seeing therapists, but much like a chef going to another restaurant, the idea of a professional seeing another professional in their own field is actually quite fascinating. However, this is, needless to say, Truth in Television. Therapists are as human as their patients and need mental health care as much as a dentist needs dental care. In fact, most therapists report having been in therapy themselves and some jurisdictions actually require therapists attend sessions as a condition of maintaining their licenses. Compare The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes. |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Yokel Chords", Bart traumatizes the students of Springfield Elementary (and some staff members, including the school therapist) with a story about a murderous cafeteria cook, Dark Stanley. He is sent to see a professional therapist as a result, and they connected easily. After Bart's final therapy session, his therapist began to miss and obsess over him and talks about this to her own therapist, who theorizes she sees Bart as a replacement for her own son, who was murdered by Dark Stanley. | |

Looney Tunes: Played for laughs in the short Punch Trunk, where a therapist is listening to a patient and taking notes, before the five-inch elephant that is the star of the short wanders onto his desk, and drinks his water. The therapist then assumes he's going a bit bonkers, and promptly swaps places with the patient, placing himself on his Freudian Couch and talking about his life in the same manner as the patient was before then. | |

Animaniacs: In the first episode, Warner Bros. Studios' psychiatrist Dr. Scratchansniff recounts to another psychiatrist on his first meeting and sessions with the Warner siblings, whom he was put on duty to "de-zanitize". They instead drove him crazy, hence Scratchansniff needing to see a therapist. | |

30 Rock: Played with in that none of the characters are practicing psychiatrists. Jack advises Liz to see a therapist and she goes to Kenneth, a page, and talks to him about her problem with trusting men. She assumes Kenneth will be fine dealing with her emotional baggage, only for it to invoke some of his own repressed traumas. Jack volunteers to be Kenneth's therapist, as he believes he can crush the issues in his 'mind vice'. This in turn unearths Jack's Daddy Issues. | |

Spider-Man: A non-canon story by writer Stan Lee and artist Marcos Martin's non-canon story "Identity Crisis" (not to be confused with the in-canon 616 story of the same name) printed as a backup Spidey Sunday Stories had Spider-Man goes to a psychologist Dr. Gray Madder (a pun on gray matter) and talking to him about his identity issues, which involve the constant changes and endless retcons to his supporting cast and rogues, such as his Aunt May being alive and dead, his marriage to MJ being retconned in and out, her being pregnant and not, Green Goblin dying and coming back, lampshading the bizarre changes to Spider-Man continuity that actually drives Dr. Gray Madder nuts and has him going to a shrink. | |

South Park: Discussed in the episode "PC Principal: Final Justice". Mr. Mackey is revealed to be the one who got Principal Victoria fired because he was tired of always being bossed around by her. When asked why he didn't just talk to her about it, he claims that it's because nobody ever listens and that everyone just expects him to listen to their problems, to which Gerald professes that maybe they all should have realized that sometimes even a counselor needs counseling. | |
