Men’s Sexual Health, Intimacy, and the Emotions Men Don’t Always Talk About with Dr. Laquinta Milson

This episode is a special one for me.Today, I’m sitting down with someone I’ve had the privilege of knowing for nearly 8 years—and worked alongside for 4 of those years—my dear friend, Dr. Laquinta Milson. Dr. Milson is one of those rare people who is brilliantly sharp, deeply compassionate, and genuinely hilarious all at the same time.Dr. Milson is a licensed professional counselor, supervisor, and certified sex therapist who specializes in psychotherapy, intimacy, sexual health, addiction recovery, relationship dynamics, and emotional healing. Through her work at The Growth Center for Counseling & Wellness, she helps individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most vulnerable and complex challenges, including anxiety, relational struggles, sexual dysfunction, and compulsive sexual behaviors.In this conversation, we dive into men’s mental health through a lens that often gets overlooked—emotional suppression, intimacy, sexuality, shame, coping behaviors, and what men actually need in order to heal.We talk about:Why so many men struggle to name or express what they’re feelingThe connection between emotional pain and unhealthy coping mechanismsShame, secrecy, and how they impact relationshipsMisconceptions around masculinity, vulnerability, and emotional strengthSex, intimacy, and attachment in men’s emotional livesWhat partners can better understand about the men they lovePractical pathways toward healing, connection, and emotional healthWhether you’re a man navigating your own mental health journey, someone who loves a man, or a clinician wanting deeper insight into men’s emotional worlds—this conversation is honest, insightful, and full of wisdom (with plenty of laughs along the way).I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation.Connect with Laquinta: The Growth Center for Counseling & Wellness | Therapy in TX, NJ, VA & DCConnect with me: www.movedbygracecounseling.com www.theselahspace.org
