About Cinema Therapy

Cinema Therapy is currently between seasons. The show last aired an episode on March 3, 2026, and is not scheduled to return immediately.

Cinema Therapy is a web series on YouTube that began in 2020. It explores how movies can help people heal, grow, and connect by examining the psychological themes within popular films. Hosted by licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and professional filmmaker Alan Seawright, the series combines humor, heart, and vulnerability to share insights on mental health, healthy relationships, and the art of movie-making.

Each episode has a runtime of approximately 20 minutes, and the show has completed seven seasons, with the most recent season ending in March 2026.
