Free Therapy with Ben & Kevin

by iHeartPodcasts

Two best friends sitting down with different therapists and experts every week to talk through the stuff everyone struggles with but nobody says out loud. Anxiety. Dating. Relationships. Career. Family Dynamics. Grief. The list goes on. We're not experts. We're just two very curious, slightly unhinged guys who can label our feelings (most of the time).  Because therapy’s expensive, but thankfully podcasts aren’t ;) Subscribe and follow along on IG at @freetherapy and TT at @freetherapypod

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is great. Always something useful and they always have excellent guests. Kevin and Ben are excellent interviewers and I highly recommend this podcast!

BizConsultingGuy · Sep 2026

Really enjoying a podcast aimed at men of a certain age, by men of a certain age. I’m fortunate to have friends like this myself, but it’s still nice seeing other men model authentic, intimate friendship out loud. These conversations feel critical right now, especially with a masculinity rooted in dominance and supremacy getting reinforced everywhere online.

Zak TD · Aug 2026

So impressed with this pod, such a breath of fresh air. The hosts are amazing and it’s one of my fave new pods!! It’s real, authentic, raw, and much needed to talk about. Love it and can’t wait for more episodes!!
