🎙 The Th3rd Bridge Podcast launches soon — stay tuned!

Bridging Trauma and Healing Through Conversation.

At The Th3rd Bridge, our mission is to provide a platform for open, honest dialogue and expert-led conversation that deconstructs the stigma behind therapy while amplifying the genius often overlooked in system-impacted communities.

We create spaces where people practice emotional humility, unlearn harmful beliefs, and access practical tools for healing and growth. Our aim isn't to 'fix' anyone, but to foster connection, understanding, and shared humanity that supports movement toward mental wellness.

Professional panel discussion with Brian, Lisa, and Dwight at The Th3rd Bridge office

The Th3rd Bridge began as an honest, organic conversation between Brian and Dwight about how crucial therapy has been for them, both mentally and emotionally, and how much it has helped them remain consistent and successful since being released after long-term incarceration. Although there are podcasts that offer a clinician’s advice or a therapist’s perspective, none pair the lived expertise of people who’ve survived decades inside with the insight of a licensed psychologist for open, transparent dialogue.

What started as a conversation has grown into a movement. We plan to build a nationally trusted, trauma-informed media platform and resource hub that normalizes mental health in justice-impacted communities.

Looking Ahead

We're building toward a nationally trusted, trauma-informed platform that amplifies system-impacted voices, delivers accessible tools for healing, and reshapes how our communities understand mental health and re-entry.
