Male Therapists in Lansing, MI
I have worked in many settings including mental health where I have worked with clients with mild adjustment disorders to severe psychosis.
I have been a psychologist in practice for over 30 years. I work in a collaborative style with clients. I am active in that I ask questions, make specific suggestions or assignments and may suggest monitoring moods or behavior. Although I am eclectic in that I will use whatever therapeutic approaches will be most effective in helping clients reach their goals, I primarily work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. Cognitive-behavioral treatment is best for helping change negative thought patterns and beliefs that underlie problem moods and behaviors. It is focused on the here and now and has been found effective with many problems.

Additionally, I am thankful for the gift of being able to connect with boys/ men who have not felt comfortable opening up in therapy before.
I often build trust and rapport quickly, while instilling hope and optimism. Therapy is performed both in person and tele therapeutically, helping to ameliorate symptoms and improve overall functioning in those that I serve. In addition to individual therapy, I really enjoy and have found success in performing couples counseling/family therapy and often have evening hours that make it easier for both partners/children to get into therapy consistently. For years, clients have felt relaxed and heard in the sessions, making continuing therapy seamless for many. Scheduling is easy, at your leisure, via a portal when you are ready.

I am interested in folks that are experiencing intense and terrifying bodily, mental and emotional distress. I want to meet with folks that avoid talking to others about the type of things they think or the ways they behave. I find interest in understanding the unique and complex ways we all learn to relate to ourselves and the world. I find interest in accepting what is while learning what else could be. I do not promise a fix: I do promise to listen. I do not promise outcomes: I do promise effort. If you're someone that this makes sense to, you're invited to reach on out.

I practice hu manistic and existential therapy.
We are all on a journey together. This world that we live in can be incredibly beautiful, daunting and abysmal at the same time. It can be easy in our current culture to get lost in electronics, work, school, family, trauma, etc. We often begin to define ourselves by our work, car, and endless things. This is not the essential self, we were not born to be lost in this suffering. I believe we can work together to create the world that you dream of, and we can have real hu man heart to heart interactions. Through these encounters we discover ourselves, and begin to heal and live from our heart in an authentic and beautiful way.

When you think male therapist I am not generally what comes to mind.
I tell everyone they need counseling. Some have that trusted friend that they can turn to, others have Facebook (not highly recommended), and then there are those that need someone with some training. I, like many, have been in that situation before and I am not ashamed to say it. As I sat in the chair of my counseling session many years ago, I was complaining about how I disliked my job and my counselor said "well you have options" and it was in that moment that I realized that I needed a job change. It was out of that session that NYA Counseling was born.

***Accepting New Clients*** Sometimes we have challenges with old habits from youth or as an adult that don't seem to go away and it's causing distress and dysfunction. We seem to keep repeating the same cycles without any growth. I often say "You repeat what you don't repair," it's only when we get to the root of the issue that we can change it. If you've been on the hamster wheel of life and want to get off, let's talk. Stop going through life and start growing through it. There is always hope and you are not alone, you are literally one decision away from changing the rest of your life!

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
