Ya Me Voy a Therapy relates to the cultural taboo of asking for help. The artist states, "therapy was talking to family and friends growing up. The idea of talking to someone is the polar opposite of machismo attitudes about mental and physical health. I find humor to be an excellent way of dealing with that difficult subject." He paired the text with an image of the artist own 1957 Chevy Custom car.
