The Therapist (EXTENDED PREVIEW)

FILMED ON LOCATION IN BRUNSWICK, NJ

Dr. Sarah Johnson is a highly esteemed Christian counselor whose career is built on the foundation of guiding others through their most harrowing spiritual and emotional battles. Within her community, she is a pillar of strength, known for her profound empathy and unwavering commitment to the faith-based recovery of her clients. However, Sarah harbors a devastating secret that she has meticulously hidden from her professional circle: her mother and unborn sister were not victims of a random tragedy, but were murdered by her own father. This internal burden remains a silent shadow, even as she helps others confront their own family traumas.

As the grim anniversary of the murders approaches, the weight of her suppressed history begins to fracture her composed exterior. The trauma triggers a spiritual crisis, causing Sarah to backslide into old, destructive vices she thought were long conquered. This descent creates a dangerous duality in her life, where she continues to offer sage advice to her patients during the day while privately spiraling into the very "demons" she teaches others to resist. The film captures the raw, isolating tension of a woman struggling to reconcile her identity as a healer with the reality of being a victim of an unspeakable family crime.
