Ahoy, Friends!
My name’s Lee L. Perry, and I’m the host of The Pirate Therapist podcast. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Utah, with 20 plus years of experience helping people navigate life’s rough seas. I’ve always been drawn to creative pursuits like theater and music (though if you ask me to do math, I might make you walk the plank). I’m a rebel, a dreamer, and an out-of-the-box thinker, perhaps not the best rule follower—a true pirate at heart!
Meet Skitters
Let me introduce you to my trusted sidekick: my ADHD brain, affectionately named Skitters the Squirrel. Skitters tends to bounce around, but that’s just part of what makes life exciting. Through my years as a therapist, I’ve seen too many people feel like they don’t belong, pressured to fit into someone else’s idea of who they should be. That’s why this podcast exists: to create a space where you can be unapologetically you. No pressure to fit in, no demands to act “normal”—just a supportive crew sailing toward healthier, happier lives.
What Is “Normal”?
Over the years, I’ve heard people say I’m not “normal.” But here’s the thing—“normal” is just a set of rules someone else made up to keep us all the same. Instead, I believe we’re at our best when we embrace our quirks, celebrate our individuality, and build a world where everyone’s unique talents shine. My favorite kind of people are the ones who’ve been called “weird”—to me, that just means they’re boldly refusing to conform. We don’t need more “normal.” We need more unique souls lifting each other up, creating, and growing together.
The Podcast
Now, I’ll be honest: I’m still figuring out the whole podcasting thing. It might be a bit rough around the edges at first, but we’ll get there together. I’m not here to do therapy, but I am here to share laughs, ideas, and tools for growth. So, hoist your flag and join the Black Sheep Crew! Whether you’re ready to sail full speed ahead or just want to tie your dinghy to our ship for a while, you’re always welcome here. Let’s explore the uncharted waters of life and celebrate the adventure of being uniquely you. Welcome aboard!
