“I should have quit this a long time ago.” You think back all those years ago when you thought you’d kick the habit soon. You never imagined you’d still be so absorbed in sex and hiding it from everyone, all these years later. It’s a terrible thing, to be two people: the healthy one that everyone knows and the addicted one you hide inside. The line gets blurry, and you dread the day that all this stuff breaks out and hurts the ones you love. Or maybe that’s already happening? You’re determined to not accept that it’s out of control, but in this moment you are facing the reality of needing help.

We will work together to resolve issues with trauma, anxiety, anger, addiction or feeling stuck in life. You may have tried making changes to feel better or be more positive, but despite your best efforts something is holding you back. You may have instinctual response patterns that are working against you. That's not you, that's survival mode. I will help reduce the struggle by teaching you how to "rewire" your nervous system so that it works with you, allowing you to be the real you.

Struggles are in the “I” of the beholder. Based on this literal perception, we often face our struggles as a problem only “I” can solve and forget that we are communal by nature. This can lead to feelings of emotional isolation where we feel no one truly understands what we are going through. Therapy is the contradiction to these feelings as it focuses on collaboration based on honesty, integrity, and respect. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are and help you toward the goals you desire to achieve.

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.
