Mondays: Mia (Hope Davis - The Special Relationship, Arlington Road) - A successful litigation attorney whose firm is handling Paul's malpractice suit, Mia also happened to be a former patient of Paul's. Childless, single and 43, she still harbours unresolved feelings and resentments towards Paul for moving away from New York.

But it's the stress of his parents' divorce, played by Sherri Saum (Men of Honor, Er) and Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights) that brings him to Paul's office. As Paul tries to help the trio navigate this tricky transition, he can't help but hear echoes of his own fractured family.
Thursdays: Walter (John Mahoney - Frasier) - A successful CEO who built his family-owned company from the ground-up, Walter comes to see Paul at his wife's urging because he is having trouble sleeping. Paul discovers that Walter is in denial over several other deeper issues, which come to surface when his usual business-logic fails him.
Fridays: Dr Paul Weston. (Gabriel Byrne - The Usual Suspects) Fragile, complex and depressed; not circumstances you would expect from such an insightful therapist yet Fridays see Paul lean on the support of his mentor Gina.
