You've made the decision to consider therapy. What comes next - choosing the right therapist - shouldn't be the hard part, but all those buzzwords and abbreviations... it can feel overwhelming. So how do you choose the therapist who is right for you? It's an important question: studies suggest that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the single most important predictor of successful treatment, more than modality, or the therapist's education or training, etc. I offer all prospective clients a brief, no fee, no obligation consultation via phone or zoom (your choice). If I don't seem like the perfect fit, move on.

Growing up in a narcissistically-oriented home, you had to learn how to read people well. Although reading others is a strength, it has also led to a lack of identity and sense of self. Establishing healthy boundaries was something you never learned how to do, which has led to dysfunctional relationships. You’ve faced harsh criticism from people who were meant to lift you up, so instead of feeling supported, you’ve gained anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. This compounding stress from difficult relationships has left you feeling exhausted. You wish you knew how to stop this cycle of emotional abuse.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
