Men In Therapy

You deserve to live a happier and healthier life.

Duct tape cannot fix everything

From the outside, it may look like you have everything together.

You’ve built a successful career. You provide for your family. People rely on you. Yet beneath the surface, you may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or unsure why success hasn’t brought the happiness you expected.

Many of the men I work with have never been to therapy before. Some are “mandated clients,” meaning their wife or significant other has insisted they seek therapy to “change”, or learn to be more emotional, or to “fix” themselves. Others are questioning if their needs have ever been met in their relationship- or if they even know what those needs are.

You may hear words like vulnerability, emotional intimacy, attachment, or even narcissism and wonder what they really mean—or whether they apply to you. Together, we’ll make sense of these concepts in a practical, nonjudgmental way that helps you better understand yourself and your relationships.

For some, they’ve reached every milestone they once believed would make them happy, only to discover something is still missing. Others find themselves reflecting on the kind of man they want to be and the legacy they hope to leave—as a husband, father, son, friend, or leader.

Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, better understand yourself, and intentionally create a more meaningful life.

Using an understanding of men’s psychology and masculinity, combined with a systemic view of relationships and a bio-psychosocial approach to growth and development, we’ll work together to help you build healthier relationships, live with greater authenticity, and become the man you want to be.

You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before reaching out.

You don’t need to be in crisis.

You don’t even need to believe therapy will work.

You simply need to be curious enough to ask, “What if life and my relationships could be better than this?”

 

You are the hero of your own story.

The bottle-it-up approach isn’t working

Middle-aged, white men are a higher risk of suicide than any other demographic.

Your mental health is equally as important as your physical health.

Not addressing negative feelings can carry over to all aspects of your life and have a profound impact on you and your loved ones.
