Everyone loves a good summer bucket list! Here's a mental health version 🧠☀️

💙💪🏼🗣️

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. 💙

Many men are taught to carry the weight of stress, anxiety, grief, and depression in silence. But strength isn’t measured by how much you keep to yourself.

Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is start a conversation.

If you’re struggling, reach out.
If someone comes to you, listen.

Less stigma. More conversation.

🧠 “Wait… what’s the difference between a therapist, psychologist, and psychiatrist?”

Honestly, many people are confused by this! Here’s the simplest breakdown:

💬 Therapists / Counselors (LPC, LAPC, LSW, LCSW, LMFT)
Provide ongoing support, therapy, coping skills, trauma treatment, emotional healing, and personal growth.

This can include:
• talk therapy
• EMDR
• play therapy
• sand tray
• art therapy
• family therapy
…and more.

Therapists can also diagnose and treat many mental health conditions. For more complex diagnostic clarification, formal testing, Autism evaluations, or certain assessments, we may refer out.

🔬 Psychologists (PsyD or PhD)
Specialize in psychological testing and evaluations.

Often used for:
• ADHD testing
• Autism evaluations
• learning difficulties
• diagnostic clarification
• school/work accommodations

💊 Psychiatrists / Psychiatric Providers (MD, DO, Psychiatric NP)
Medical providers who diagnose mental health conditions and manage medications.

They focus more on:
• medication management
• severe symptoms
• brain chemistry & biological factors

🤝 The truth? Many people benefit from using a combination of these supports together.

For example:
• therapist for weekly support
• psychologist for testing
• psychiatric provider for medication support

That’s incredibly common and often works really well.

✨ If you’re unsure where to start, therapy is often a great first step. A good therapist can help guide you toward additional support if needed.

Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. Different providers simply play different roles on the same team. ❤️
