For over a decade, I’ve helped young
men
struggling with anger, fear, and depression.
You just got into another fight with your son, and you feel terrible about it. All you wanted to do was talk, to tell him that you’re worried about him, but as usual, the conversation quickly devolved into another standstill. You feel so helpless watching him make the same mistakes over and over. Isolating himself, turning to harmful coping methods, hanging around the wrong people. You’re terrified that if he keeps going in this direction, he may never be able to dig himself out of it. As a parent, you only want him to be happy, but nothing you try seems to get through. And it feels like you’re running out of options.

It can be difficult to change even if we are aware where we would like to go. It can be frustrating when we ask ourselves “How did I get here?” or “I know what is wrong, I feel powerless to change?” These are important questions to be asking and shows an awareness that a part of you is recognizing that your able to change and you’re working on ways of undergoing this process.

For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to work with teenagers. Since obtaining my Masters of Social Work at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987, I have worked with teens in multiple settings. I have discovered that counseling can help teenagers with the most important tasks of adolescence. I work collaboratively with parents towards the primary goal of seeing their teenager launch successfully into adulthood. I am direct and honest and emphasize accountability and personal responsibility. I have found that teenagers appreciate that approach.

As a trauma-informed counselor my work is focused upon people struggling with alcohol and/or drug addictions as well as those experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, low self-image or feeling generally overwhelmed. I employ a sex-positive approach when working with clients, to best serve those struggling with their own personal relationship to sex, sexuality, and sexual identity as well as those experiencing difficulties in their primary relationships surrounding intimacy, vulnerability, and codependence. I approach each client with an open heart, seeking to meet them wherever they are emotionally, spiritually.

From the moment I discovered what counseling really was, I knew it was my personal and professional calling. Since that time I have had a wealth of experiences that have confirmed that being a counselor is simply what I am meant to do. Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going." What better way to get through dark times in your life than to bring along someone who is dedicated to keeping you from getting stuck there?

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.
