I employ common sense strategies that allow my clients to implement new ways of seeing the world in a positive light. I'll tell you that the most powerful tool on earth is the human mind but nobody ever gave us the operations manual. I see myself as a mechanic of sorts, offering information from the minds operational handbook, allowing you to switch off the auto pilot and switch on your self determination to overcome adversity and accomplish more. And for what it's worth, I won't shy away from politically incorrect responses. The world can be harsh and I won't sugar coat it unless it's necessary to protect you from imminent harm.

Is there something difficult in your life that you've thought about countless times, but can't seem to shift? Would it help to have someone to look at it with, someone who's curious about your perspective and sees it from a slightly different angle? It can be scary to imagine unpacking and examining how we relate to others and ourselves: it often involves exploring where we've been in order to understand where we are and where we're headed. If you're up for the adventure, I'd like to be a fellow explorer; a curious companion who strives to be well-provisioned in support of the journey ahead.

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
