This group is for adult men (25 - 60) that feel alone with their problems. For those who can't open up to partners, pals, or colleagues about the deepest struggles in their heart and mind. Members can share, offer support, advice and encouragement to each other under the guidance of a licensed counselor. Group Culture: Relaxed environment, inclusive, and a safe space to unload your burdens, have a laugh, and maybe learn something. Process: Each week members will have 5 minutes to share, followed by time for dialogue together. Luke will guide discussions and offer insights from a therapeutic perspective.

Accepting New Clients – There are many challenges in life, sometimes those challenges can be overwhelming and frighting to think about and handle alone. We all live through different experiences have different perspectives on how their life should be, we lose focus of who we are, and what we are trying to accomplish in our daily lives. I look at my job to help sort through those challenges, be part of a support system and help define and drive success for you.
Amandla can be characterized as a socioprocess group. Michael P. Wilbur and Janice Roberts-Wilbur describe a socioprocess group as a group whose “primary goal is to cause an examination of member attitudes, values, belief systems, ideas, and opinions through a combination of information, orientation, and discussion” (p. 66). Amandla will be a place for self-exploration and for the sharing of these ideas and feelings. Participants will be invited to examine THEIR values, behaviors, and relationships with others and to look at the direction of THEIR life to determine what changes they want to make.

I am a Black, male therapist originally from Columbus, OH. and now living in Raleigh, NC. I find it a great honor counseling with clients who are just dealing with life's many transitions to doing therapy with those clients that are facing challenging diagnosable mental health issues. I mainly utilize therapeutic techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (e.g. Ellis’s ABC model, thought journaling, cognitive restructuring, etc.) but I also use techniques from Solution Focused Therapy, EFT, DBT and Multisystemic Therapy. I have found that I prefer a person-centered approach, though I will still use goals, contracts and homework.

Men's Issues Support Groups
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.
