Fred Moss

Psychiatrist, Coach, Consultant, Speaker

Dr. Fred Moss, MD, is a pioneering psychiatrist and the visionary founder of Welcome to Humanity. With nearly 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Fred has transformed the global conversation around mental health through a bold commitment to authenticity, creativity, and human connection.

After dropping out of college twice, Dr. Fred landed a job at a state mental health facility for adolescent boys—an experience that unexpectedly set the course for his life. Discovering the profound power of genuine communication, he returned to school and eventually earned his MD from Northwestern University, followed by specialized training in psychiatry and child/adolescent psychiatry. His unique path reflects a lifelong devotion to reshaping mental health care from the inside out.

Dr. Fred has worked with over 30,000 patients and has served in diverse roles—from private practice and correctional healthcare to expert witness consulting and telepsychiatry training. He is deeply critical of the overmedication and diagnostic labeling endemic in modern psychiatry and champions a human-centered, holistic approach to healing. His signature methodologies—Creative 8™ and The True Voice Method—guide individuals toward self-expression through creativity, authentic communication, and inner clarity.

Though formerly a podcast host (Welcome to Humanity, INSanity, and The Healthy Healer), Dr. Fred now devotes his time to guesting on other shows, having appeared on more than 100 podcasts to date. As a thought leader and sought-after speaker, he shares transformative insights on topics such as:
Unmasking mental health beyond diagnoses
Psychedelics, AI, and their intersection with mental wellness
Creativity and podcasting as tools for healing
Authenticity, self-expression, and personal growth
Culture, young adults, emotional resilience, and more
