Men's Issues Therapists in Oakland, MD
You may be the dependable one in your relationships, your family, or your work. The one who figures it out. The one who does not want to burden anyone. The one who keeps going.
But underneath that, there may be a constant stream of pressure: replaying what you said, wondering whether you disappointed someone, questioning whether you are doing enough, and struggling to rest without feeling behind. Even when you are functioning, it may not feel like ease. Carrying this kind of pressure, it has to go somewhere. It might show up as overworking, avoiding things you don’t want to deal with, shutting down, or habits you’re not proud of.

It's alright if you don't like me. I just want you to be okay. If making you FEEL better means enabling you to continue behaviors that can take away your ability to BE better, I'm not interested. You don't need a friend or a cheerleader. You need an advocate who will stand up against the one person who has consistently gotten in your way and also holds the power to make changes to get you to a good outcome! Hint: It's you. I'd rather you tell me off and be truly content than to think I'm nice but stay in the rough spot you're in that led you to seek out help in the first place.

I think my experience treating children, families and adults for many years has benefited my clients. I enjoy helping people very much and understand my strengths and limitations.
My parents were both teachers: My father was a Phys Ed teacher and coach, and my mother was a Special Education teacher. So helping others was valued in my family. I worked in a group practice for many years where I had the opportunity to hone skills and learn from colleagues, and also provided mentorship to co-workers which has helped shape the therapist that I am today.

The ideal client for me is someone who understands and admits there are areas of their life that need further evaluation and a yearning for information and knowledge of how to better their situation. With me, clients will begin to understand their situations from different perspectives, delve into the various emotions that arise, and are open to being challenged in the most respectful and compassionate way. Working to understand their situation, their emotions, and identifying what they have control of is one of many steps needed to improve symptoms, confidence, growth, and outlook. Together, we got this!

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.
