For Men · Teens & Families · Boca Raton · Free 20-Minute Call

Real conversations.
Real change.

Pressure at work. A divorce. Everyone counting on you. Or a teenager who's shut down and a family that can't find common ground. Most of it gets carried in silence. The first step is saying it out loud to someone who actually listens. That's what sessions are for.

About Josiah

A man who will
actually listen.

Men are expected to handle it without a word. Teenagers, and the young men they're becoming, were never taught how to say it at all. A male mental wellness professional who can sit with both, without judgment and without an agenda, is rare. That's the gap Josiah fills.

"Most people who come to me aren't broken. They're stuck. My job is to help them get unstuck, and leave with something they didn't have before."

Josiah holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and has focused on men and adolescents from the start. He doesn't assess, diagnose, or treat mental disorders. His focus is on helping you work through what's actually in front of you, whether that's a divorce, pressure at work, a relationship that's gone quiet, or a son who's shut down, and on building the tools to handle what comes next on your own.

Sometimes the best way to know if something is right for you is to simply hear the person. No brochure captures that. A conversation does.

Services

How we work
together.

Every session has structure and purpose. In-person in Boca Raton, Delray Beach or West Palm Beach, online, or in your own space.

Men's Sessions
One-on-one work on what you're actually dealing with: divorce, pressure at work, a relationship that's gone quiet, the weight of being the one everyone leans on. Direct, practical, and built around you.
$145
50 minutes · In-person, online, or in-home
Teens & Young Adults
Teenagers and young adults open up differently when the person across from them truly listens, without judgment and without an agenda. That's the space Josiah creates.
$145
50 minutes · In-person, online, or in-home
Parent Guidance
For parents who can see something is wrong but can't get through. This session is about you: practical tools for understanding and reaching your teenager.
$145
50 minutes · In-person, online, or in-home
Family Mediation
When the tension in a household is affecting everyone, not just one person. A structured space for families to hear each other and start to move forward together.
$325 – $400
60–90 minutes · In-person, online, or in-home
In-Home Sessions
For men who'd rather not walk into an office, teenagers who won't, or families who need the work to happen in their environment. Josiah comes to you. Same structure, different setting.
$225
50 minutes · Palm Beach County
Free Discovery Call
Where everyone starts. A 20-minute conversation with Josiah to talk through what's going on and decide, together, if working together makes sense.
Complimentary
20 minutes · By phone or video

All sessions are private pay, no insurance. The work is driven by what you actually need, not by what a policy covers. No diagnosis on file, no indefinite treatment. Superbills on request; sliding scale considered case by case. Small facilitated groups (men's wellness, parenting teenagers, grief) are available on request.

My Approach

What happens
in a session.

Every person who walks in is different. The approach adjusts. The standard doesn't.

01
First, the full picture.
The first sessions aren't about solutions. They're about understanding: what you're carrying, where it started, and what it's costing you at work and at home.
02
Then, clarity.
Once something is understood, it can be named. And once it's named, it loses some of its weight. That moment of finally seeing something clearly is where things begin to shift.
03
Then, the work.
Evidence-informed and built around who you are. Every session has direction, and every step forward belongs to you, not to a method or a model.
04
Until you have the tools to do it yourself.
The goal was never to diagnose or manage a condition indefinitely. It's to help you understand what you're facing, work through it, and walk away with the self-management tools to handle similar challenges on your own. That's what the work is actually for.
Who I Help

Who Josiah
works with.

Men are Josiah's primary focus: the pressure, the responsibility, and the weight they carry quietly. Teenagers and young adults are the other half of the work, along with the parents trying to reach them. None of it is about identifying what's wrong with you. It's about working through what's hard and building real tools for what comes next.

Men · Divorce & Separation
The life you built is being taken apart.
The house, the kids, the routine. Divorce hits men harder than people expect, and sorting it out alone is where most get stuck.
Men · Work & Pressure
Performing at work while running on empty.
You show up and deliver, and nobody sees the cost. Unprocessed pressure turns into bad sleep, a short fuse, and shutting down at home.
Men · Loneliness & Relationships
Everyone depends on you. Who do you lean on?
Friendships fade after 30 and work fills the gap. Something's off at home and you can't name it. Saying what's actually going on is a skill, and it can be built.
Teens & Young Adults
Pressure, isolation, and figuring out who you are.
School, performance, social media, and acting fast then second-guessing yourself, all at once. Build confidence and learn how to respond instead of react.
Parents
You can see something is wrong but can't reach them.
Josiah works with both teenagers and parents, because understanding each other is often where the real change begins.
Grief & Transitions
Loss doesn't follow a timeline.
Neither does change. A death, a divorce, a career shift, or feeling like you've lost the thread of who you are. You deserve support through it.
If any of this landed, that's reason enough to talk.

What This Is

Clarity about the work.

Josiah holds a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and the work draws on that training, but it is not therapy, and Josiah is not a licensed therapist. He does not assess, diagnose, or treat mental disorders. Instead, he provides guided reflection, practical skills training, and evidence-informed strategies to help clients navigate real-life challenges, develop greater self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and build healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

For many people, especially men, teenagers, and young adults, this is exactly the kind of support that fits: structured, honest, practical, and free of the labels and paperwork that can make traditional clinical settings feel heavier than they need to be.

If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, believe you may have a mental health disorder that requires clinical assessment or treatment, or need urgent care, please seek help from a licensed mental health provider or call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), available 24/7.

"The goal isn't to solve one problem. It's to become someone who can handle the next one."
Josiah Thurlow, M.S.
