Todd Baratz

In a field often dominated by female voices, America’s Todd Baratz is a welcome male presence. He is a hugely popular and influential sex and relationship expert best known for his half-a-million-strong following across Instagram and TikTok with the handle Your Diagnonsense, which is also the name of his podcast. His work tackles cultural “norms” and the harm they can do for our mental and sexual health. He believes that everyone’s experiences are valid, no matter what their racial, sexual, gender, class, or political identity, and that recognising this is all part of the wider picture of sexual and relationship health. His work and ideas have been featured by the likes of Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, NBC, Vice, Glamour, Vogue, and many more.

Based in New York, Baratz is both a licensed sex therapist (by the American Association of Sexual Educators, Counsellors & Therapists) and mental health counsellor. He studied psychology and counselling in New York and Miami and is constantly curating thought-provoking content for his social media pages and his podcast. His advice has helped thousands people and won him a worldwide following. His distinctively designed Instagram posts are often just what people who are struggling to meet the perceived expectations of their partners, society, or even of themselves need to help regain a sense of balance in life.
