Starting Early 2026. Grit & Glitter: Creating Space for Gentleness in Masculinity. What happens when we let go of the script for masculinity? Traditional masculinity often prizes stoicism, dominance, and control—sometimes at the cost of emotional depth, tenderness, and vulnerability. This 8-week group invites you to rethink those scripts and explore a more spacious, compassionate vision of masculinity. Together, we’ll read essays, share stories, and hold space for honest conversation. Through media, literature, and community, we’ll ask what it means to bring gentleness into our relationships, self-concept, and daily life. All genders are welcome.

This men’s therapy group provides a safe setting in which members can learn as much as possible about themselves, examine relationships, and have opportunities to make desired changes. A basic rationale behind group therapy is that many of the emotional difficulties and problems we face result from unsatisfactory and unfulfilling relationships. Being in the group affords an opportunity to examine how we are interacting with others in the here and now and to seek more productive and fulfilling ways of relating. Men are often surprised to learn how much they have in common with other men.

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.
