The four pillars of the Men's Group are Support, Clarity, Challenge, and Accountability. The group is a unique environment where men feel safe to be vulnerable, discuss deep feelings with one another, and improve their lives with the help of a counselor and each other.

For over 30years, Dino has helped clients find relief from anxiety and trauma. He employs the most effective evidence-based methods and technologies. His primary modalities include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Creative Arts Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Poly Vagal Technology. As a high performance coach, Dino employs these same methods to assist elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals to enhance their performance, enjoyment and engagement.
These groups draw from the work of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Robert Bly, and others to explore the masculine psyche and issues relevant to all men including purpose, grief, shame, initiation, ancestry, spirituality, relationships, and more. Each week is different but woven with a common thread. The process reflects the unique lived experiences of each man present. We will co-create a safe, non-judgmental space where we come together as one to deepen our stories, express our truths, and learn from one another in the presence of an experienced facilitator.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. My primary research focus is transpersonal experiences and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration. My philosophy is one of organicity, meaning that every individual is gifted with an innate healing wisdom and capacity for wholeness. As a former earth scientist and current artist, I incorporate lessons from nature and creative expression in my work, and seek to help others reconnect with the more subtle rhythms of psyche as a woven thread in the generative fabric of life.

We work from a holistic perspective that includes attention to your physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and relational well-being. Our Therapists have a rich blend of experiences including: residential treatment, child welfare, adoption/foster care, parenting support, substance use, family care,& community mental health.

Only accepting group therapy referrals. In my experience, life is better and easier if you have someone that understands you, sees it from your point of view, and helps you navigate through it. A good therapist is like a fellow traveler who journeys with us into awareness, facilitating the insight necessary to heal and grow. I am a passionate facilitator of this process, helping my clients make sense of their lives and relationships, heal what's kept them stuck, explore new ways of being and live richly. The therapy we do is deep and has long-lasting effects, and the changes become your second nature, even after therapy ends.
STARTS MONDAY 1/23/22. Goals for group: Processing the difficulties and joys of navigating disabilities and chronic pain/chronic illness in intimate relationships Create dialogue and provide information about expanding one’s idea of what intimacy and sexuality can look like (example: ways to be intimate on flare-up days OR ways to communicate to your partner(s) on days that you want to be close, but touch is painful). 3.

I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.
Dedicated to a safe space to talk about mental health, well-being, and how to develop healthy coping strategies to address emotional trauma and navigate in today's culture.

"I never knew my experience was needed." "It's good to know I'm not alone." "I know more about how I feel." “I listen more.” Men's relationships may be full of conflict, frustration or distance. In a group, stories emerge about work, love, joy, grief, guilt, childhood, parents, partners and purpose. If stories are stuck in pain, loss or anger, they keep moving as members tell their stories together, learn about emotions, and listen. Relationships inside and outside of the group improve, and men find more confidence in themselves.

Depression, anxiety or trauma can keep you from living fully and happily. Relationships may be full of conflict, frustration or distance. You may be critical of yourself. Addictions may take hold. It can be hard to find purpose. Grief over losses might drag at you. It can be hard to find the trust to try again. Your story needs help to keep moving, particularly where it is stuck in pain or forgets strengths. Narrative and DBT therapies specialize in helping your best come forward.

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.
