Symplified Therapy

I'm Ciji Gardner, a Licensed Associate Counselor, Columbia University-trained, and founder of Symplified Therapy in New Jersey — and I believe pop culture is one of the best entry points we have into real clinical conversations.

I break down what's actually happening beneath the surface:
📺 Reality TV — Married to Medicine, Love and Marriage Huntsville, Real Housewives, the Valley, 90 Day Fiancé.
🎙️ YouTube, Podcasts, Talk Shows 
💰 Finance, Business & Sports

🧠 The parent wound, intergenerational patterns, and ADHD, OCD & BPD in relationships
🚫 No contact, low contact, and the complexity of cutting ties
🌿 Mindfulness and learning to sit in discomfort
👨‍👩‍👧 Co-parenting, parallel parenting, and navigating life transitions

This is mental health content for people who are serious about growth — and also can't stop watching YouTube, Bravo, ESPN, HBO, CNBC and everything in between.
