Men's Issues Therapists in Concord, CA
The only thing scarier than change, is thinking things will never change. We love our partner, yet we fear love may not be enough. The relationship seems stuck. We constantly miscommunicate. We fight even when there’s nothing wrong. It doesn’t have to be like this and we don't have to find a new partner to have a new relationship. I honor the courage and strength it takes to ask for help. Together we will slow down the process, identify harmful relational patterns, and replace those dysfunctional patterns with new more satisfying interactions. My specialty is relational work with couples/individuals.

Hi there, I'm Justina! I believe therapy works best when people feel safe enough to show up exactly as they are—without feeling judged, rushed, or like they need to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective. I believe growth happens when people feel safe enough to explore, process, and be fully themselves.

Hi, I’m Roni. I work with perfectionism in its many forms – high-achievers who feel nothing they ever do is good enough, under-achievers who avoid so as not to fail, and folks with social anxiety who put immense pressure on themselves in relationships. My patients come from backgrounds that predispose them to taking on too much. These environments teach you to grow up quickly and prioritize other people's needs over your own. As an adult, the self-sufficiency that was previously a strength can become a barrier to fulfilling relationships. No one taught you skills like saying no, setting boundaries, and reaching out for support.

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.
