Boca Raton, Florida · In-Person & Online

Real conversations.
Real change.

Whether it's a teenager who's shut down, a family that can't find common ground, or a young adult carrying more than they let on — the first step is just saying it out loud. That's what sessions are for.

About Josiah

Someone who will
actually listen.

Male mental health professionals who genuinely connect with teenagers — who can sit with what they're carrying and help them make sense of it — are 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 has extensive experience working with teenagers, young adults, and families. He doesn't assess, diagnose, or treat mental disorders — his focus is on helping people work through the real challenges that life brings, and building the self-management tools to handle similar obstacles long after sessions end.

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 isn't therapy in the clinical sense, and that's intentional. The focus is personal growth, not diagnosis. Sessions are about working through real-life challenges, building self-awareness, and walking away with practical tools you can use long after the work ends.

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

If you're in crisis or need urgent clinical care, please reach out to a licensed provider or call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), available 24/7.

Services

How we work
together.

Every session has structure and purpose. In-person in Boca Raton or online — wherever works best for you.

Teens & Young Adults
Josiah's primary focus. Teenagers and young adults open up differently when the person across from them truly listens — without judgment, without an agenda. That's the space Josiah creates.
$200 – $250
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.
$200 – $250
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 teenagers who won't step into an office, or families who need the work to happen in their environment. Josiah comes to you — same structure, different setting.
$275 – $350
50 minutes · Palm Beach County
Group Sessions
Small facilitated groups built around specific topics — parenting teenagers, men's mental health, grief and loss. Structured conversation with people facing similar situations.
$1,200 – $1,500
90–120 min · 6–10 participants
Free Discovery Call
Not sure where to start? This is where most people begin. A 20-minute conversation with Josiah to see if working together makes sense — for both of you.
Complimentary
20 minutes · By phone or video

All sessions are private pay. This means the work is driven by what you actually need — not by what a policy covers or how many sessions an insurer will approve. Josiah's focus is on helping clients work through real challenges and build lasting tools for self-management — not diagnosis or indefinite treatment. Superbills available upon request. Sliding scale considered on a case-by-case basis.

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, what it's costing you. That foundation changes everything that comes after.
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 recognition — of finally seeing something clearly — is where things begin to shift.
03
Then, the work.
Evidence-based and built around who you are. Every session has direction and every step forward belongs to you — not to a method or a model. The progress is yours to keep.
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.

Teenagers and young adults are Josiah's primary focus. The work isn't about identifying what's wrong — it's about working through what's hard and building real tools for what comes next. Parent guidance and family mediation round out the work, because rarely does one person in a family struggle alone.

Teens & Young Adults
Pressure & Isolation
The weight of school, performance, social media, and figuring out who you are — all at once.
Teens & Young Adults
Confidence & Impulsivity
Acting fast. Second-guessing yourself. Feeling behind everyone else. Build confidence, strengthen decision-making, and learn how to respond instead of react.
Families
Parents of Struggling Teens
You can see something is wrong but can't seem to reach them. Josiah works with both teenagers and parents — because understanding each other is often where the real change begins.
Men's Wellness
Mental Wellness for Men
It's harder to ask for help when the world expects you not to. Josiah works with men navigating pressure, identity, purpose, and the weight they carry quietly.
Identity
Purpose & Direction
Feeling like you're going through the motions. Like you've lost the thread of who you are. This is more common than you think.
Adults
Grief & Life Transitions
Loss doesn't follow a timeline. Neither does change. Whether it's a death, a divorce, or a career shift — you deserve support.
Not sure if it's the right fit? Let's talk it through.
