ABOUT ME

My name is Alicja Matusiak LISW-S, PMHNP-BC.

When my father was diagnosed with depression while growing up in Poland, I immediately became curious about mental health. It was incredibly difficult to watch this strong man fall apart when his depressive episodes hit. I was 14 when I learned that he wanted to commit suicide. He spent two months in hospitals, and he came back only a shell of his old self.

He didn't see himself as someone worth loving because of depression. I vowed to myself to study psychiatric medications and therapy to help people feel better and realize how important mental health is.

I started Naked Truth: A Therapy Podcast to show people the realities of being a therapist and share the stories of those in the mental health field and other related modalities.

I am passionate about therapies such as reiki, psilocybin, chiropractic, and more. So don’t expect me to shy away from these topics! There’s a little something for everyone on this podcast and I hope you listen in.
