Robert Joseph Zima
Counselor, MA, LCPC
Verified
My practice focuses on helping
men
find healthy and effective ways to deal with anxiety or anger or addiction or sometimes all three. The “Triple A” (anxiety/anger/addiction) can sometimes put us on the “Highway to Hell”, destroy our relationships, career and much more. If you're a
man
looking to figure out how to cope with, problem solve, and communicate more effectively with the people in your life then let's get started today.
Ken Kuhn at St Charles Counseling
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Verified
People come to therapy for emotional support and seek practical solutions to the very real issues in their lives. I recognize that my clients need to work thru the emotion connected to their circumstances and are also very much looking for a fresh perspective, based in experience and professional training, to help them determine what they can do about it. I work to help my clients find solutions whenever possible & develop effective ways to cope with the impact of those things they can't change. I take an approach to counseling that is practical and goal oriented and have a style that both
men
and women can connect with.
Chad Thomas Welch
Counselor, LCPC, AMTP, CCTP
Verified
I also enjoy working with
men
who are not sure about counseling.
When choosing a therapist it is important to consider many different perspectives. First and most importantly, is this someone that you will be comfortable working with? Education and experience are other considerations? However, when it comes right down to it, it's about connecting. All the great tools that a therapist may have will be useless if you do not connect with them. I have heard from many of my clients about negative experiences in the past with therapists and how they feel like nothing really happened.

Patrick Donohue
MCC
I work with all types of clients and specialize working with young
men
ages 16-35.
Are you tired of the same old, same old and ready for real change? Do you want to find a new career? Have better relationships? Learn to manage time? Do better in school, reduce stress or start building positive habits? If any of these apply to you, then you are ready for coaching. Time to stop living an average life and get ready to take off. Here is one of my career coaching clients, "I thought I was okay at interviewing but after meeting with Pat, I was great! I had the interview and ended up getting the offer the next day. I just started and absolutely love my job."
Michael L Stoller
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I work primarily with
men
on issues including, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting, relationships, and problem solving. I also specialize in working with teenage boys. I often use sports analogies and lessons to address issues such as self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and school performance. In addition to working with adults and teenagers, I work with couples focusing on conflict resolution, effective communication, intimacy, parenting and other life transitions.
Richard Goldwasser
Counselor, PhD, LCPC
Verified
I am a psychotherapist with 30 years experience working with adults, couples and families. I have run groups for
men
and women who struggled with relationship issues helping them communicate more openly and honestly. I have always been able to provide a safe, respectful environment allowing clients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns, fears and hopes for the future. Developing rapport and trust are a must in any successful relationship; this is especially true in therapy. At the end of our first session you will know you are in competent and caring hands making it easier to discuss difficult issues openly and honestly.
Steff Du Bois
Psychologist, PhD, LCP
Verified
I identify as a gender-nonconforming queer
male
. My work with all clients is informed by frameworks like antiracism, social justice, feminism, and anti-imperialism. I bring authenticity and genuine empathy to each client, pairing these with effective and approachable therapeutic interventions that research says work. I can help with micro-level goals like improving mood and reducing anxiety, on macro-level goals like recovering from trauma and coping with systemic oppression, and on relational goals like building intimacy. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are my personal and professional values. I believe that Black Lives Matter.
Justin Sato
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, MBA, CADC
Verified
I identify as a 1st generation Japanese American, able bodied, gay, cisgender
male
.
All of us yearn for a sense of belonging, and it is human to feel lonely due to issues we may be facing in life. Feeling alone can have a detrimental impact not only to our mental/emotional health, but also physical health. I'm here to support you in your mental health journey and working towards a better quality of life. I strive for social justice and am attuned to the impacts and influences of society and culture. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens, meaning I’m sensitive to the past experiences that have shaped you into who you are today while working in a collaborative approach.
Felix K Deiss
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD, MA
Verified
I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds on a wide range of struggles including feelings of depression, academic difficulties, identity exploration, anxiety, family conflict, relationship questions, experiences of discrimination, trauma, and grief and loss. I have also volunteered in the Emergency Room to counsel and advocate for people following sexual assault. As a
man
of trans experience, I am especially interested in supporting queer and TGNC communities and have a wealth of experience with emerging adults.
John Goll
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
Most
men
face challenges and carry emotional and mental burdens that are nothing like what their father or grandfathers experienced. One of the obstacles that may keep you from asking for help is the mistaken notion that to be a "real
man
" you must be able to handle your problems on your own. Unfortunately, that kind of isolation actually makes it harder to find satisfaction with yourself, your relationships and your career. None of us were ever intended to face our issues or challenges alone. To seek counsel and support is a sure sign of wisdom, courage and strength.

Mitchell Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Verified
I specialize in helping
men
connect to themselves and others with strength, courage, and authenticity. Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or just that life is not all you had hoped? Are your relationships unfulfilling? Having difficulty letting go of past hurts? Using sex, the internet, work, or social media to avoid others or painful emotions? Does it seem impossible to "get through" to your spouse? Retirement not going well? Has the pandemic knocked you off your game? It’s time for a change. “You, he said, are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you’re in so much pain" (Autumn).

I believe in the power and influence that relationships have in shaping who we are and our stories.

Whole Hearted Psychotherapy

men

George D Beukema
Counselor, DMin, LCPC
Verified
I specialize in working with
men
, women and couples facing relationship problems.
Through my work as a therapist I have come to believe deeply in the capacity of people to change. If we are feeling stuck in some ways, I don't think its because we want to be miserable or are in some way a "bad" person. We may simply lack the right kind of support to find our way out.
Darryl Clayton
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW, QMHP
Verified
I use a strength-based, client-driven, empathetic and non-judgmental approach to help boys and
men
learn how to express emotions in ways that feel authentic to them as individuals by helping to reframe thoughts, consider different perspectives, and providing tools and interventions to equip you to be the leader you were meant to be.
Yes! You are ready, and I am here to help! It is not always easy to seek help in a world in which you often feel unsafe, unseen, unprotected, and at times perceived as a threat. Far too often, you are met with unrealistic expectations on how you're "supposed" to feel and express emotions and what it means "to be a
man
." I have been able to transform the lives of teenagers and adults who've had significant difficulty managing stress, regulating their emotions, navigating social situations, and processing loss and grief.
Travis Wood Munnerlyn
Psychologist, PsyD

men
and the LGBTQ+ community. I am also credentialed to offer telepsychology sessions to clients in AL, AZ, CO, DC, DE, GA, IL, ME, MO, NE, NM, NV, NH, NC, OK, PA, TX, UT, and VA. I target strategies to resolve issues related to intimacy, sexuality, communication, anxiety, and trauma. What makes a good partner, husband, son, father? Am I a poor communicator? What is healthy sexuality? Is this addictive or unhealthy? Is what happened traumatic? I offer safe non-judgmental space to explore these ideas with you individually or within your relationships.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in Illinois, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in Illinois listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
