Jessica Williams on 'Shrinking' Season 3: Therapy, Grief, and Finding Balance

Jessica Williams is one of the most interesting people who work in modern comedy-drama. Her role as Dr. Gaby in Shrinking on Apple TV+ is a good example of this. Williams' character is still trying to figure out how to balance her work and personal life as the show returns for its third season. She is a therapist who has to keep her cool while working with Jason Segel's grieving, rule-breaking Jimmy and Harrison Ford's cranky Paul.

What makes Williams' performance stand out is how she can ground the show's emotional core while also delivering perfectly timed funny lines. Dr. Gaby is both the voice of reason and a character who is dealing with her own weaknesses. This makes the show more than just a typical workplace dramedy.

Williams talks about how Dr. Gaby's relationships change over the course of Season 3, how she works with co-stars Segel and Ford in a unique way, and how the show deals with grief, healing, and the messiness of being human in a funny and real way. We also talk about what it's like to be a Black woman in a space where certain stories about therapy and wellness are usually the only ones that are told. We also talk about how Shrinking makes room for different views on mental health and healing.
