A clinician-led men’s group for those ready for something deeper than casual “support” but different from traditional therapy. This is a structured, experiential space for emotional presence, relational integrity, grounded leadership, and real brotherhood. We slow things down, face what’s actually going on, and build the strength, clarity, and accountability needed to lead in relationships, dating, intimacy, work, and purpose. For men who are done with surface-level talk and ready to grow in a real way—alongside other men who are serious about showing up.

Boys are daily bombarded with culturally conflicting messages about how to be (or not to be) a man today on social media, in politics and popular culture, and at school. Many young men are coping with the pressures through emotional withdrawal in the form of video games or substance abuse, or developing symptoms of depression and anxiety, leaving them further behind and without the tools needed to relate to others in positive and authentic ways. Group fosters genuine connection, understanding, and clarity. If you think you or your son may benefit from group, call me and we can assess together.

Men in the LGBTQ+ community can have a particularly challenging time connecting emotionally with other men. After years of questioning if you are "good enough" or "okay", you may have trouble showing up authentically in relationships—left in isolation and depression. This group is for gay, bisexual, pansexual, trans, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others! I use a modern analytic approach combined with neurobiology, attachment, and trauma-informed work to explore how to be in connection with others.

This group is a space to process the existential concerns that emerge during recovery. Maybe you lie awake at night wresting with questions of identity in the aftermath of your addiction. Who am I? Who have I become? What do I value? Maybe you're in the middle of zoom meeting and are struck by the familiar dread that this is all just meaningless... Maybe it feels like you are drowning in loneliness, unable to reach out and connect. If you can connect with existential themes and you are in recovery, then this group is for you.

Men are raised with twentieth century ideals of being a provider and a protector, and then expected to be in egalitarian, twenty-first century relationships. Many men are socialized to believe it is not okay to express feelings. As a result, many learn to different strategies to avoid these feelings and move through the world feeling disconnected and lonely. This group will normalize, explore, and support men practicing vulnerability.

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.
