Although successful, you're not as happy as you deserve to be, and you are likely pretty good at hiding your internal distress. You may be dissatisfied with the situation at work, or with the quality of your relationships, or both. This gnaws at you, you want to fix it, and you may be skeptical about the “therapy industrial complex.” Before launching into the fix, you need to clearly understand the problem, and how different approaches may or may not address it. You like the idea of starting with an evaluation by a seasoned expert who gets people like you, and who will tell it like it is with compassion and understanding.

Seeking professional help for mental health is a challenge for many people. Between doubt (about their symptoms needing treatment), skepticism (about the efficacy of treatments), shame (about their symptoms), and frustration (over finding providers that can treat them), many people are not able to connect with providers who can help them. People deserve to have access to providers who can listen, explain, and treat them with intelligence and empathy.

Psychotherapy is a safe place where we can explore how the past continues to affect the present. It is an encounter with another person which can be painful at times but also lively and genial. As a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst trained at Tufts Medical Center and the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute I employ an approach that integrates psychoanalytic, cognitive, and mindfulness-based techniques with psychopharmacologic management. The human experience is complex and I engage my patients in a flexible manner that respects the gravity of our work.

I work with individuals who experience ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, and related challenges.

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Men's Issues
How can psychiatrists help men with mental health challenges?
Men can experience a range of mental health challenges that are shaped by gender-specific experiences, societal expectations, and/or life roles. Common reasons that men may seek psychiatric care include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, career-related burnout, or emotion regulation challenges. Some men also seek help for issues related to fatherhood, sexual health, body image, or relationship challenges such as divorce. Psychiatrists who specialize in men's mental health understand the unique challenges that some men may face and understand the ways that societal norms may affect help-seeking behaviors and emotional expression. While not all psychiatrists who specialize in men's issues identify as male, some men prefer working with a male psychiatrist who may share similar life experiences or perspectives.
What does psychiatric treatment for men's mental health involve?
Treatment for men's mental health concerns typically begins with an assessment of an individual's current symptoms and mental health history. Based on this evaluation, a psychiatrist may recommend psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both. Therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or psychodynamic therapy may be used to help men develop coping strategies and better understand how to recognize their emotions. Medication may also be considered to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, or mood instability when appropriate.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in men's mental health?
Psychology Today's online directory can be a helpful resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with men. The platform offers filters to search by gender, areas of expertise, accepted insurance plans, therapeutic approaches, and session fees. Reviewing provider profiles can help individuals identify a psychiatrist whose clinical background and approach align with their needs—whether seeking support for a specific concern or pursuing long-term mental health care.
