“There’s a pattern I see regularly in my practice: a bright, capable young man sitting across from me who can’t explain why he won’t apply for the job, sign up for the class, or have the conversation that needs to happen. He’s not lazy. He’s not indifferent. He’s stuck — paralyzed by a low-grade anxiety he may not even recognize as anxiety, caught in a loop of avoidance that looks, from the outside, like apathy.”

Athena Care therapist, Taylor Kemp, LPC-MHSP Associate shares more about this pattern and that it’s not rare, but rather is an epidemic.

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness month. The numbers are hard to ignore. In the United States, men account for nearly 80% of all suicides, yet only 17% saw a mental health professional in 2024 — compared to more than 28% of women. That gap isn’t explained by men being healthier. It’s explained by men staying silent.

This isn’t a personal failing. It’s the predictable result of cultural conditioning that has been building for generations. And once you understand why it happens, you can start to change it.

In this article, Athena Care therapist JaMichael Carroll, LMFTt shares more, including reasons men don’t ask for help, what anxiety looks like for men and practical tips.

On TMS Therapy Awareness Day, we want to share more about how this FDA-approved, non-medication treatment works.

Over a period of 30 days, TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) can result in noticeable healing. One member of Athena Care's treatment team described TMS treatment as being similar to "a gentle sunrise that moves you from the dark into the light."

TMS may be a good fit if you:

• Haven't found sufficient relief from antidepressants
• Have experienced persistent medication side effects
• Feel stuck in brain fog, low motivation, or emotional numbness, even with antidepressants

You loved your dog for fourteen years. She slept at the foot of your bed, greeted you at the door, and knew your moods before you did. When she died, the grief was crushing — but when you returned to work the next day, no one sent flowers. No one offered bereavement leave.

Or maybe you lost a friendship that had lasted a decade. The slow fade, the unanswered texts, the realization that someone who knew everything about you was simply gone. You didn’t know what to call it. There was no funeral, no casserole on your doorstep, no socially sanctioned way to mourn.

Athena Care therapist, Jillian Richardson, LPC-MHSP explains that what you experienced in both cases has a name: disenfranchised grief.
