    John Stamos believes his therapist helped save his life.

    “I probably wouldn’t be here [without him],” the “Full House” star, who plays a family counselor in Hulu’s “UnPrisoned,” told Page Six exclusively at the Season 2 premiere on Tuesday.

    Stamos shared that he’s been seeing Phil Stutz — the subject of a 2022 Netflix documentary by Jonah Hill — for “close to 20 years.”

    “He was big into helping me get sober,” the “General Hospital” alum further said.

    Stamos opened up about his battle with alcohol and June 2015 DUI arrest in his 2023 memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me.”

    One month after his arrest, he entered a substance abuse program.

    “When I went to Stutz one of the first times, he said, ‘You know if you weren’t so f–king stupid you’d realize how good you have it,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right,'” he said with a laugh.

    Stamos, who recently signed on as the chief innovation officer at streaming service Zeam , became such a fan of therapy that he introduced his late “Full House” co-star Bob Saget to his psychiatrist.

    “[Bob] was a bit of a …” Stamos trailed off. “He drove me crazy [when we first met] and I said, ‘You gotta go into therapy if you want to be friends with me,’ so he went to Stutz and Stutz helped him too.”

    The actor, 60, used his therapy sessions as inspiration when taking on his new role in the second season of “UnPrisoned.”

    The Hulu comedy stars Kerry Washington as a relationship therapist and single mom whose life is upended when her father (Delroy Lindo) is released from prison and moves in with her and her teenage son.

    The “E.R.” star attended the red carpet with his wife, Caitlin McHugh, with whom he shares son, Billy, 7.
