How Mental Health Needs Change at Every Age | Your South Florida
Mental health is something we all navigate — but the kind of support we need can vary dramatically depending on our stage of life. In this episode of Your South Florida, we explore how local organizations across South Florida are helping individuals of all ages prioritize their emotional well-being through accessible, compassionate care.
We begin with women in midlife, a life stage often filled with silent transitions—career changes, caregiving responsibilities, shifting identities, and the emotional weight of it all. Arlene Borenstein sits down with Katherine Murphy, CEO of NAMI Palm Beach County, and Shari N. Warner, JD, LMFT, founder of Serendipity Women’s Mental Wellness Center, to talk about the mental health challenges many women face during this time and the services available to support them. From peer-led groups to therapy spaces created exclusively for women, these organizations are helping more people feel heard and validated.

Next, we turn to college-aged young adults — a group experiencing growing levels of stress, anxiety, and disconnection. Bianca Natali, founder of Beyond Grey, Inc., shares how her own mental health journey inspired her to build a nonprofit that offers free wellness workshops and group sessions tailored to students and young adults. By fostering creativity and community, Beyond Grey helps young people feel less alone in what can be an overwhelming chapter of life.

Finally, we spotlight the Faulk Center for Counseling in Palm Beach County, which provides affordable therapy for people of all ages. From teens dealing with anxiety to older adults navigating loss, the Faulk Center’s services are designed to meet individuals wherever they are in life. Clinical and Training Director Dr. Holly Katz explains how they combine professional care with community connection to help residents access emotional support without financial barriers.
