Alec Benjamin brought us another hit single — straight from the therapy couch. In “I Sent My Therapist To Therapy,” the alt-pop artist divulges he’s “so messed up” that even his mental healthcare providers now need extra support.
Releasing this song is the ultimate form of therapy. It combines the two most therapeutic things in my life into one; music and therapy itself. I hope listening to this song provides the same level of catharsis for anyone struggling with their mental health as writing it did for me.

Witty in every refrain, Benjamin tells the story of a chain reaction: After treating him, his therapist needs therapy, and the therapist’s own doctor isn’t sure what to do either. It speaks volumes about the prevalence of mental health struggles, along with the artist’s expert lyricism.
In the music video, directed by Matthew Trainor, Benjamin plays all character roles. An upbeat, almost whimsical vibe balances the agony behind the lyrics.
“I Sent My Therapist To Therapy” is leading up to a fresh album in the new year. But Benjamin opened up on TikTok that after this album cycle, he might take time off to find himself.
No matter what, though, fans have his back — a solid community giving their favorite artist more than 8 billion global streams, 12.5 million social media followers across platforms, and 1.6 billion YouTube channel views.
