Are you a man carrying more than you let on?
Maybe it’s the pressure to succeed, be strong, or hold it all together—while inside, you’re struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, sadness, anger, or simply feeling lost. Whether you’re a young man trying to find your place, a high-achiever burned out by work and relationships, or a father or partner dealing with emotional shutdown or strain—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.
I’m Dr. David Jaffe, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience.
I specialize in men's mental health, helping men break silent struggles and build more connected, confident lives. My approach is grounded, modern, and real—free of jargon and focused on helping you get clear, take ownership, and feel stronger from the inside out.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncomfortable—especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. I get that. My goal is to create a space that feels real, supportive, and free of judgment—where you can talk openly, at your own pace. If you’ve been thinking about making a change but aren’t sure where to start call for a free consultation
