Male Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO
Often, people feel like they have different parts of themselves inside that are pulling in different directions. It can be challenging to sort through it all alone. If you feel depleted, tired, confused, or overwhelmed, a good therapist can help you slow down and put the pieces together. If you feel reactive and on edge or feel like running away, or just plain shut down, good therapy can help you restore connection with yourself and others. And if you feel like traditional talk therapy is not enough, then you have definitely come to the right place!

I help people heal from trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression with a grounded, supportive approach that helps you feel safe and empowered. My approach to care is grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a real conversation—one where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I work to create a space where you can slow down, take a breath, and sort through what’s been weighing on you. I’m direct and honest, but always with compassion, and I’m not afraid to sit with the tough stuff right alongside you.

My therapeutic philosophy begins with cultivating safety and trust within the client/counselor relationship. I truly believe that it is vital to build a strong foundation. I believe that is important because, as a therapist, I understand that I am entering your private world. This is a deep and sacred trust. It is important to me that my clients know that whether or not that trust has been violated by others in the past, I will create a sanctuary in which those hurts that have created trauma, anxiety, depression, etc., can be explored, understood and, as we face that pain together, we can find healing and restoration.

I work best with clients who have suffered some form of trauma, have issues with their family, issues with abuse and military members/veterans and the issues they face.

My clients are adults who have tried to stop using pornography — often many times — and haven't been able to make it stick. They're not in crisis. They're functioning, self-aware, and frustrated that something they've tried to control keeps reasserting itself. What they're missing isn't motivation; it's a clear understanding of the pattern and the specific skills to interrupt it. I work with people who are ready to look honestly at what's driving the behavior and willing to practice something different. This program is self-paced and clinician-supported — built for people with full lives.

You have done the work and are getting by. You are capable, functional, sometimes admired — and still, something underneath is not right. The anxiety that does not track with your life. The low mood that outlasts the cause. The old wound that still remains and impacts your life choices. If you have started to suspect that the usual advice is not reaching the real question, you are probably right. My work is with people who are ready to look below the surface of their symptoms for the life that's trying to emerge underneath.

Have the experiences that once defined your strength now become sources of struggle? As a veteran, former medic, and first responder myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by those who've served others in high-stress environments. The hypervigilance that kept you alive in the field can become exhausting at home. The compartmentalization that helped you function during crisis can leave you disconnected from loved ones in everyday life. These challenges don't mean you're broken—they're normal responses to abnormal situations.

Life can sometimes be hard. For many of us there are also challenges to face and difficulties to overcome. If you are in a bad season of life, it may be time to seek assistance to address recurrent or seemingly impossible problems that you face. You may have tried to fix things on your own, or even reached out to family, friends, or others you know without finding much relief. I can provide you with a brief telephone consultation to discuss your concerns or schedule a time to meet with you. I also supervise counselors, so we have a group of therapists to address your particular concerns or needs.

Let's be honest, therapy isn't the first choice for most people. If, however, you are in a place where this might seem like a good option, I'd appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

My professional career has been devoted to helping people find their way through the challenges, losses, and crises of life. It seems the practice of psychology has too often focused on what’s wrong, assigning diagnoses to our behaviors, reactions, and even the emotions we experience when trying to deal with these struggles. Over the three decades of my work as a Therapist I have always looked much deeper than the symptoms to first understand a person’s inner world. And I do this with sensitivity, patience, and respect for the individual.

How many ways have you tried to help your husband understand what your relationship needs? Explaining, hinting, pleading, complaining, even yelling haven’t worked for more than a week or two. Often, he becomes defensive and argumentative, silently ignores you, or blames you saying you don't make sense. Maybe, it’s his depression, anxiety, trauma, or childhood? You think you still love him, and, after all this time, you don’t want to leave, spend all your relationship energy on the kids, or have an affair. You're tired of feeling stressed, worrying, tossing and turning at night. It shouldn’t be this hard, right?

I am not the typical therapist. I am the person people reach out to when things have not worked. When you have tried to do it the right way, had the conversations, done the therapy, and still find yourself in the same place.

Let's start with the future. You'll not get there if you don't know where you're going. Creating an image of how you'd like things to be instead of how they are will provide a positive focus for therapy. My job as a therapist is to help in creating that image, guide you in moving forward, and assist you in resolving past and current issues that get in the way.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
