I have experience in a wide array of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-concept concerns, and men's issues.
Stress is everywhere, especially with the challenges of the last few years. You might not be feeling like yourself. You could be feeling off, sluggish, misdirected, or overwhelmed. You could be looking to make some shifts in your life, and hopefully grow following a potentially difficult stretch. Change is never easy, but you may be searching for it. You feel it's time for you to set some boundaries, figure out what you truly need, and put ideas into action. Starting therapy can be challenging, and I applaud anyone who takes that step to move forward and give it a try.

One of my clients asked me "so what do you think?" I replied, " about what?" This is what we need to ask ourselves first during our current situation, "What are we worried about!" Are we worried about our health, our income, our family, our community or our ability to control our lives? The reality is that as human beings we don't have as much control of our lives as we assume. What we have is adaptability, daily habits and foreseeable future. We become fearful and anxious when any of these options are taken away. So give me a call- 704-259-0183 or email me at brow4615@bellsouth.net. Let's talk!!! We can figure this out together.

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.
