Male Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

When thinking of the population I wanted to work with most, it was people like me that spoke to me most: men who have struggled to feel, struggled expressing their feelings & feeling comfortable and safe enough to do so with their friends, family, partner or loved ones. Life is beautiful, but it can be incredibly challenging at times. It's important to be able to talk about life's struggles and challenges with someone.

I am here to help you embrace your authenticity and find liberation from stories, patterns, habits and ways of being that don't fit who you want to be. I am passionate about working with young adults navigating adulthood and transitioning into life beyond families of origin; folks healing from racial trauma and minority stress; and couples and partners looking for better communication, security, and connection. I am especially drawn to working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults embracing queerness and supporting other white, cis men to cultivate their own vulnerable, feminist masculinity and allyship.

I am a specialist who helps LGBTQIA+ people using Affirmative therapy, and people in highly demanding careers. Figuring life out as an LGBTQ+ person is draining and anxiety can rise. You will feel more relaxed! Your self esteem will not be low for long as we navigate the journey together! You are exhausted as you try to manage it all with your inner-critic snapping at you. I'm gay myself, so I understand how weird this world can feel. Let's work together to bring back a sense of ease and calm. You can learn how to deal with stress, overwhelm, and feelings of unease.

It is my highest priority as a therapist to create a genuine, safe, and supportive environment so you can feel comfortable expressing yourself. I am dedicated to helping you explore options for change, and together we will learn about your strengths and how to utilize them.

Upon starting a new therapeutic journey, I always share that through this process, we will change the idea of “why is this happening to me” to “everything is going according to plan.” As we get started, the first order of business is to construct an environment where you can feel seen, heard, and safe throughout this journey of self-discovery. The goal is to meet you where you are, so we can get you where you want to be. We will accomplish this by taking an integrative approach to facilitate personal growth and healing by identifying themes, unresolved conflicts, and behavioral patterns.

Are you feeling stuck in relationships, jobs, or entrenched beliefs about yourself that may not be valid? Unhealthy thoughts, feelings, behaviors and attachments can create patterns that lead to anxiety, depression, addiction and more. The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.” If you want to break the cycle, therapy can be a powerful tool in helping you identify problem areas and begin your personal transformation. The process begins with having someone who will listen, understand your needs, uncover stressors and seek solutions.

A former professional athlete turned clinician, I received my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. During my time in practice, Ive had the opportunity to work with a diverse client population ranging from 15-50 years of age, addressing a wide range of presenting problems in the clinical setting including but not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Life and Career Transitions, Relationships, Men 's Issues, and Trauma. As a Los Angeles native, I understand the stressors of living in the city, as well as our need to have someone to process it all with in a safe and non-judgmental space.

You feel like you carry the weight of the world because you do. Too much work, or not enough. Relationship issues, or none at all. Interaction with family, blended and extended, parenting, you name it. Life is amazing, but at times it can be amazingly hard. Bring it all in. Let's unpack it and see how you can better manage the load.

You’d say you’re supportive, mindful, and reliable. You wonder how long you can keep up with being "the strong one" and "the self-sacrificing one" that’s always there for others when there’s a part of you that feels overwhelmed. This leaves you feeling angry, stuck, and exhausted. You want to share this struggle but fear that you’ll be "too much of a burden" and will push others away. You’re curious if one day, your fears of rejection will have less of an influence, giving you the space to feel more connected to yourself and your relationships.

I come from the heart. I'm here to help you feel safe and secure. I am here to go on a journey with you to find your true self, to lift depression, to work with anxiety, and transform this time of crisis into stronger relationships and more heart-felt productivity. As a gay, Jewish man , I have an ear for all people struggling with difference and oppression. I can go deep with you into healing old trauma. Or I can help you coach you with day-to-day career and relationship challenges. If you need a therapy to jump-start new growth in the New Year, I am here for you on that quest of both self-discovery and seeing more palpable results.

Sometimes life feels like it sucks. And sometimes we feel like we suck. And sometimes it feels like life sucks all the time and so do we. Yes, I am a therapist, but I am a human being first and I promise to treat you like one. I have a casual, laid-back conversational, and authentic style. I pride myself on authenticity. Basically, I keep it real. I use proven methods grounded in research and evidence to help pinpoint the roots of problems and find ways to try and solve them.

Give yourself permission to be vulnerable by putting yourself first. Negative and highly-critical self-talk, especially for gay men , is the root of many of our problems and addictions. You may feel “less-than” others, think poorly of yourself, or are unsure how to get your needs met. I can help you to shed light on where this inner-critic is coming from, how to quiet it, and help you rebuild your relationship with self/others. Next, we can develop tools to manage anxiety and depression, embrace your sexuality, develop a healthier relationship to sex/porn, heal infidelity, integrate love and sex, or improve your relationships.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Sometimes we just need a little help getting through tough times or difficult situations. We might be experiencing depression, anxiety, stress at work, or conflict in our relationships, for example. In those moments it might feel like you don’t know what to do or where to turn. I work collaboratively with clients from a strength-based, solution-focused orientation. I incorporate cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to help clients reach their goals. I am dedicated to helping clients have lives that are meaningful and enjoyable.
