This ongoing group is for men with anxiety and/or depression who have trouble feeling isolated. Participants are high-functioning professionals who have difficulty sustaining close relationships, and sessions involve using the group as a type of "laboratory" to try out new ways of interacting with each other. Participants have regular out-of-session "homework" assignments which involve practicing some new behaviors designed to extend their comfort levels and to enhance their social support. Members support and challenge each other as they work toward their respective goals. https://www.menexcel.com/

My men's groups cater to guys who are generally high functioning in their lives, but who struggle to maintain existing relationships and to develop new ones - in particular friendships. Men's groups involve 6-8 members coming together every two weeks to gain new awareness about themselves and each other by learning concrete skills and techniques aimed at helping members to develop competencies that they can use in their lives outside of group. Members commonly experience some amount of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and often feel lonely or isolated even if they're frequently around people.

Our men's process groups serve as a kind of "social laboratory" in which 6-8 members try out new behaviors and gain insights about themselves interpersonally so that they can use those skills and competencies in relationships outside of group. Most members share some amount of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and commonly have difficulty establishing new relationships - in particular friendships - and deepening new ones. Members enjoy a great mix of support combined with respectful challenge to help meet each others' needs and goals.

Fatherhood is challenging. Frequently, fathers find it challenging to figure out their placement within their family. Focusing on building, planning, and developing our family can leave us feeling “misplaced,” “lost,” or stuck in our family system. As fathers, we are also nurturers and have our own emotional experiences that we may feel don’t get the attention we deserve. Feeling misplaced or lost can result in resentment and over-functioning. In the group, we will find clarity and understanding through the guidance and experiences of other fathers and leave feeling empowered with the clarity of who we are as fathers.

As a man, do you feel pressure to only express the emotions of 'good' or 'angry'? Do you struggle to find male friendships that can handle talking about more than surface issues? This is an online group to discuss the social pressures men are put under, stereotypes, and unfair expectations men can face, and ways to stand together with other men to break through harmful boundaries that prevent us from being strong, emotional, healthy humans.

Interpersonal Process Groups are typically unstructured, allowing participants to share their concerns in a supportive setting. Unlike conventional support groups, a therapist facilitates focus on the interpersonal dynamics that arise during discussions. People often follow habitual patterns of thinking and behavior in interactions, some helpful (e.g., expressing empathy) and others problematic (e.g., perceiving constructive feedback as criticism). As trust builds, these patterns naturally emerge, and the facilitator, along with group members, helps individuals recognize and address them. Find out more: www.MenExcel.com/mens-groups

Process groups (aka: Interpersonal Process Groups) are usually unstructured. Participants take turns sharing their issues, challenges, and concerns in a safe and supportive environment. Members benefit from the varied perspectives of their fellow group members. What makes process groups different from more conventional support groups is a therapist-facilitated focus on the interpersonal dynamics that come up between the members of the group while they are having these discussions.

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.
