According to the NYTimes, men have certain issues with which only a male therapist can help. See

And I thought men were supposed to be simple! Looks like unless more men get into the field of psychoanalysis, we are going to be stuck with a lot of unhealthy males ruling this planet. (Although looking at the current world situation, we've been stuck at this place for a while now...)

Too bad psychoanalysis represents thankless work that you can't ever get rich doing (since you can't duplicate yourself) - two qualities that don't attract a lot of men. This means that the situation won't change any time soon. Perhaps all the post-booming mothers raising boys will have done talk therapy to work out how to help them become well adjusted men who won't need therapy.

But it's more likely just more business for those few mail therapists who remain.
