Men's Mental Health Issues
Men Have Feelings and Emotions Too – Therapy for Men in Florida
Are you a man who’s been told to “man up” or that emotions are weakness?
You’re not alone—and it’s okay to ask for help.
Common Struggles Men Face
-
Have you been taught that crying is a sign of weakness?
-
Are you struggling in your relationship or marriage?
-
Do you have difficulty expressing your needs and emotions?
-
Are you carrying trauma that affects your current life?
-
Is there a history of mental illness in your family?
If you answered yes to any of these, therapy for you may be the next step toward feeling better, more balanced, and more in control of your emotions.
Why Men’s Mental Health Matters
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), men are less likely than women to seek mental health treatment. However, the suicide rate among men is four times higher. Many men also turn to alcohol or drugs to cope, increasing the risk of overdose and long-term health issues.
The Stigma Around Therapy for Men
As a society, we often expect men to suppress their feelings, carry the burden silently, and always “be strong.” This mindset leads to emotional repression, irritability, burnout, and even depression.
If you’re a father or provider, do you feel like everything falls on your shoulders? Do you feel trapped in a job you dislike just to keep things going?
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Online therapy for men offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack those thoughts and feel heard.
Fatherhood Isn’t Always Easy
Being a dad is rewarding—but it’s also overwhelming. Many men aren’t offered paternity leave or emotional support like mothers often receive.
Sleep deprivation, financial stress, and lack of communication can build up and harm both your mental health and your relationships.
Therapy can help you:
-
Communicate better with your partner
-
Manage stress and fatherhood-related anxiety
-
Develop emotional resilience
Redefining Masculinity
What does it really mean to be masculine?
Strong? Stoic? Athletic? Provider? While those traits may resonate with some, they don’t define your worth or limit your emotions. In therapy, you’ll explore what your version of masculinity looks like—without shame.
Why Work With Judy?
Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked with more male clients than female, despite what the statistics say. Many men tell me that I understand their challenges better than friends or family. They’ve shared that therapy with me feels safe, validating, and comfortable.
Let’s work together to help you feel more balanced, seen, and supported.
💲 Is Therapy for Men Expensive?
