To the dads who didn’t see the diagnosis coming…
The ones who quietly grieved the vision they had,
then rolled up their sleeves to learn, adapt, and show up anyway
we see you.

Getting the news that your child has ADHD or is on the autism spectrum can shake you.
It can challenge how you see the world, and how you see yourself as a father.
But it doesn’t change this:
You are still their safe place.
You are still enough.
And you’re not alone.

This journey requires patience, humility, and a whole lot of love.
And real talk? It takes strength to say,
“I don’t understand this yet, but I’m willing to try.”

To every man learning new language, new rhythms, new ways to connect—
you are building bridges that matter.
Your presence is the therapy they can’t get from any office.

Keep showing up.
Keep learning.
You’re doing more than you know. 💙

If you’re navigating a new diagnosis and need space to process, ask questions, or just breathe—Obsidian Counseling and Wellness is here to walk with you.
Let’s build support that’s honest, real, and rooted in strength.

Alright fellas, roll with me for a second.
You know how in boxing, it’s not just about how hard you swing…
it’s really where your feet are planted that determines how much power you deliver and how steady you stay when your opponent hits back.

Same goes for your mental health.
It’s not always about the big moves or flashy wins.
It’s about your foundation—your grounding.

Are you steady? Are you planted in something real when life starts throwing punches?

Let’s talk about that.
Not in a therapy office (unless you want that)
but right here, behind the chair—real talk, no judgment, just you getting your footing back.

🧠 Men’s Mental Health Moment
Have y’all seen that TikTok trend where men call their homeboys just to say “Good night, I love you”? 🤣 The reactions range from utter confusion to sheer panic….like bruh, it’s not a setup, it’s a sentiment!

Funny as it is, it shines a light on something real:
👉🏾 Why is it so hard for some men to express emotions without feeling weird or weak?
👉🏾 Why does saying “I love you, bro” feel like a threat to masculinity instead of a sign of connection?

Sometimes men are taught to hold it in, tough it out, and never let ’em see you fold. But bottling things up? That’s not strength….that’s stress with a silencer on.

This month, let’s normalize real talk. Check on your boys. Text “love you” and mean it. Ask “How’s your mental?” like you ask what they’re cooking on the grill.

💬 Fellas: What would it take for you to feel safe expressing your feelings with your friends?

📲 If you’re ready to talk, but not sure where to start we have space for you. Whether it’s therapy, or just a first conversation, let’s connect.

Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Whether you’re graduating from high school, college, trade school, or Sunday school….YOU DID IT! It wasn’t easy, but you made it through.

Take a moment to breathe, celebrate your hard work, and soak it all in.
And if you’re feeling a little uncertain about what’s next (or going through caffeine withdrawal now that finals are over), that’s totally normal.

One step at a time. You’ve already proven you can handle the hard stuff.

We’re proud of you!

💈🧠 Behind the Chair – Men’s Mental Health Month Launch 🧠💈

Fellas…
You show up for everyone else.
You handle business, push through stress, and carry it all in silence.
But who checks in on you?

This June, we are creating a space just for you not to fix, not to lecture,
but to listen, support, and give you room to breathe.

Welcome to Behind the Chair….
a laid-back, judgment-free zone inspired by the place where the realest convos happen: the barbershop.

We’re talking real life:
💬 Fatherhood
💬 Stress
💬 Relationships
💬 Anger
💬 Grief
💬 Burnout
💬 Healing

We are not here to tell you how to be a man but to support the one you already are….strong, tired, doin’ your best.

🗓️ Launching June 1st
📍Tune In weekly for mental health and wellbeing topics curated especially for men.
🎯 Open to all men who want to take care of their minds like they take care of their cuts.

Because your mental health matters.
Let’s normalize the check-in.
Let’s talk. Behind the Chair.

You ever hear your partner say, “I’m fine,” and immediately know…
👀 They’re definitely not fine?
Yeah. Welcome to the decoding Olympics. 🥴💬

Here’s the deal: Most couples don’t fight about the thing.
They fight about the meaning behind the thing.

That eye roll? → Might mean “I feel dismissed.”
That silence? → Could be “I don’t know how to say this without making it worse.”
That “Whatever.” → Might actually mean “I’m overwhelmed and don’t feel heard.”

But if you’re assuming the worst every time ummm that’s probably not intuition but anxiety. 😩
And if you’re never explaining what you really meant—that’s a setup for side-eyes and shutdowns.

✨In therapy, I teach couples how to decode messages before they detonate.
Because “I’m fine” doesn’t fix anything unless we unpack it.

This month, take a second to:
✅ Ask, “What did you really mean when you said that?”
✅ Say, “I didn’t understand that—can we try again?”
✅ And PLEASE retire “whatever” from emotionally loaded convos. You’re better than that.

Mental health in relationships starts with communication that’s clear, not coded.

⸻

💡 Therapist Tip: Try this at home:
Each partner writes down 3 phrases they often say in conflict—then explains what they really mean.
You might be shocked by what you thought vs. what they meant.

⸻

🪷 Empowered, supported, and maybe just a little less confused.

Let’s talk about a love language that doesn’t get enough credit: active listening.

Because repeating back what your partner said while scrolling your phone does not count as connection, fam.

Active listening means:
• Putting the phone down
• Making eye contact
• Letting them finish their sentence (yes, even when you think you know what they’re gonna say)
• And responding in a way that says, “I hear you. I value you.”

Sassy but sincere reminder:
You can’t build intimacy on autopilot. Listening well is loving well.

Side Eye moment:
If “huh?” has become your go-to relationship response… it might be time for a reset.

Want help creating space to really hear each other again?
Let’s talk. Couples therapy is more than conflict resolution—it’s about rebuilding connection.

Discomfort ain’t the villain. Growth just likes to show up in sweatpants and awkward timing.

Let’s keep it real: growth rarely feels like a spa day. Sometimes it looks like fumbling through the Tamia line dance at a family function. Sometimes it’s applying for that position even though imposter syndrome is hollering louder than your toddler during bedtime. Sometimes it’s saying no to Chipotle and actually cooking that salmon you bought two days ago.

Uncomfy? Yes.
Impossible? Absolutely not.

You can do hard things. You already ARE. You hold down households, jobs, group chats, potlucks, and everything in between. But here’s your reminder: the same woman who remembers 67 passwords and everyone’s birthday can also show up for herself—even when it’s hard, even when it’s new, even when it’s inconvenient.

Discomfort is just a pit stop. Growth is the destination.

Drop a “YES I CAN” in the comments if you’re doing one hard thing this week big or small. We’ll be here to hype you up and throw sideeye at your self-doubt.

12/05/2025

Let’s normalize not going off… even when you really, really want to.

Caregiving—whether it’s for your kids, your partner, your mama, or your full-time job—is an Olympic sport… with no medals and a lot of unsolicited opinions.

But here’s the thing: you are allowed to feel your feelings.
You just don’t have to act on every one of them.

Enter: Pause + Name + Reframe
(Also known as “the grown woman emotional glow-up.”)

PAUSE:
Take a breath. Sip water. Stare into space for three seconds like you’re in Insecure talking to your mirror self.

NAME:
Say what you’re really feeling.
“I’m not mad, I’m overwhelmed.”
“I’m not cold, I’m exhausted.”
“I’m not a villain, I’m overstimulated by humans and noise.”

REFRAME:
Ask: What’s actually needed right now?
Instead of popping off, maybe it’s time to tag out, take a walk, or say “let’s try again after snacks.”

Because listen—emotional regulation isn’t about being fake. It’s about being functional. And sometimes, being functional means you stop the cycle instead of snapping back.

Drop a “PAUSE SAVED ME” in the comments if you’ve ever had to take a deep breath instead of throwing a shoe or a side-eye in the heat of the moment.
