Many men in our current culture do not reach out regularly to friends. This Mens Group provides a safe space for men to explore their feelings ...from sadness or disappointment to ...joy or excitement. We talk about relationships with kids, partners, friends, family, at work, and with one another. We try to focus on process, here & now regulation of feelings, and ways we protect ourselves from feelings (usually uncomfortable ones). Covid has created many uncertainties & pressures. Men can be strong support to one another through good times and bad.

This men’s process group offers a collaborative space to speak openly, listen closely, and support one another around shared struggles. Many men find themselves asking whether they’re alone in their difficulties, or if other men are facing similar experiences. I facilitate a supportive group environment while encouraging connection by paying close attention to how members interact with one another. Conversations often touch on dating, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. This group will run for eight weeks, after which members will have the option to decide if they want to continue.

In this group, we will address in a safe, non-judgemental and highly supportive environment the diverse range of experiences of men in relationships that are either turbulent and high in conflict or else semi-dead where there is little to no intimacy. One of the major goals of this group is to break the barrier of silence and shame that prevents men from getting the support that they need as they struggle to navigate challenging relationships on their own. Respect for different needs, preferences and perspectives will be a guiding principle of the group. Group sessions last ninety minutes.

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.
