The Watcher Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the series reads, “Ominous letters. Strange neighbours. Sinister threats. A family moves into their suburban dream home, only to discover they’ve inherited a nightmare.” Dean (Bobby Cannavale) and Nora Brannock (Naomi Watts) just purchased their dream home in the idyllic suburb of Westfield, New Jersey, but after putting all of their savings into closing the deal they soon realize the neighbourhood is less than welcoming.
There’s a kooky older woman named Pearl (Mia Farrow) and her brother Jasper (Terry Kinney), who sneaks into the Brannock’s house and hides in their dumbwaiter. There’s Karen (Jennifer Coolidge), the realtor and an old acquaintance of Nora’s, who makes them feel like they don’t really belong, and nosy neighbours Mitch (Richard Kind) and Mo (Margo Martindale), who don’t seem to understand property lines.
Their icy welcome quickly turns into a full-blown living hell when ominous letters from someone calling themself The Watcher start arriving, terrorizing the Brannocks to their breaking point as the neighbourhood’s sinister secrets come spilling out.

Who is the therapist in the last episode of The Watcher miniseries?
I think the therapist is also Noras art curator.
The actors name is Jeff Hiller.
Just googled and Patricia Black plays the art curator.
