Male Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

As guys, we don't really like to talk about it. You know, the stress, the dissatisfaction with our lives, our relationships, our jobs. Hitting that point in life where things just aren't what we thought they were supposed to be. So we shut down. We get angry and irritable. We stuff it down because we're never supposed to let them see us sweat. The problem is we end up exhausted, frustrated, and just plain lost. But if you want to find your way again, you've got to stop and ask for directions at some point, right?

A careful assessment allows the use of the right therapy approach of the many specific strategies that have been developed in recent years.

Men , we have issues! We do not like to admit this, but it is true.

I saw my first therapist when my father died when I was 10 years old. I did not know what was going on. That part was such a blur, because I did not know how to explain how I was feeling. As I started to develop my identity, I noticed people would come to me because I was laid back and chill. As my studies continued, learning about the different populations, I knew I wanted to work with I went with the populations that dealt with trauma, anxiety, depression and the LGTBQ+ community.

What if your own worst thoughts weren't the enemy? What if nothing needs to be removed?

Do you find that you are repeating some of the same old arguments and even falling into the same pattern of disappointment and frustration? “Here we go again”, you might silently say to yourself.

You love each other and yet perhaps you find that you are stuck in unhealthy patterns that may include conflict, blame, distance, avoidance, yelling or even criticism. Are you ready to try something new and different?
