Men's Issues Therapists in Glastonbury, CT
Have you finished other therapies (by “graduating,” leaving, or “failing out”) without lasting change? Have you never felt safe to remove your masks, even in therapy, or struggle to tell the difference between you and them? These experiences often involve deeper questions about sense of self and identity (including personality) that many therapies don’t fully address. They take time, depth, and a different kind of attention. They may show up as depression, anxiety, or relationship concerns, but with a different root. And missing that root can keep us stuck.

I also have spent the last ten years exploring men's issues and couples dynamics.
In 1999 I created the following mission statement: "To create a safe space where individuals can explore the issues that are standing in the way of living more fulfilling and authentic lives." As a result, I have explored, studied and practiced a wide variety of techniques to address the mental/emotional aspects of our lives, as well as the physical and spiritual issues that can block potential, and the ability to relate effectively with others. It is always an honor to help clients transition through difficulty and to witness them living more fulfilling lives.

Sometimes life can feel like you're just going through the motions, surviving rather than truly living. Many of my clients tell me they have a good life overall, but feel deeply dissatisfied in one area: intimacy. They may feel disconnected from themselves or weighed down by unspoken truths in their relationships. Often the same painful argument resurfaces with a partner, once or twice a year, and when it happens, it's BIG! and draining. With a holistic, sex-positive approach, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore hidden desires, break old cycles and move toward a more authentic, connected way of living and loving.

I specialize in working with men, and those curious about therapy but maybe hesitant to try. I also specialize in working with women who are more comfortable with a male therapist. Men especially have been taught to bury their feelings and power through tough times. That therapy is for weak people. This has left so many men feeling stressed, misunderstood, angry, and left to manage their inner pain in silence. Nobody taught us how to feel and express our feelings in a healthy way, leaving us to navigate a challenging world without crucial skills. My goal is to provide a judgement-free space to learn and grow in a relaxed setting

Men's Issues Therapists
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.
