Are you having trouble adjusting to life transitions? Are you bothered that you aren't good enough? Are you concerned that having emotionally immature parents has caused you to struggle in adulthood? Your experiences with transitions could become overwhelming, causing a lack of focus, a decrease in self-esteem, and second-guessing yourself. Imagine if you could understand why you struggle to make changes or adapt to circumstances you can't avoid. Imagine understanding the impact of a lack of emotional maturity or intimacy.

Life is hard... but this is not news. Life is also complex; we can believe we're strong, but feel week, or believe we're weak and surprise ourselves with strength. We crave control but feel like a passenger. We present a confident mask and have no idea who's actually wearing it. We give great advice but struggle to take our own. We've come so far, but feel like we're nowhere. If any of those rings a bell, that doesn't make you broken, or a hypocrite, it makes you human. Life is not either/or, it's all-of-the-above, and I suggest we stop making it even harder for ourselves by imagining it should be straightforward.

If you're in a relationship (family, friend, significant other) that feels uncomfortable for any reason, you may need to learn how to communicate more effectively to get your needs met. Do you often find yourself feeling defensive, shamed, or judged? Often, difficulties arise from a lack of conflict resolution skills. The good news is, those can be learned. Or maybe you've been through a traumatic experience that you've been avoiding talking about, but you know deep down it's somehow getting in your way. That can be overcome as well. If you're looking for closer relationships or deeper meaning in your life, I'd like to help.

Healing is possible. Every one of us has the capacity to heal that lies within us. Due to our childhood and life experiences, our minds sometimes start telling us that we are less than worthy of love. But we are worthy; our healing journey rests in finding that self love and fountain of being. Habit patterns inside of our minds can become challenges to our well-being. We tend to look at sources outside of ourselves for the answers, but they already lie within. “You are the architect of your life.” -Swami Rama

During a typical week, it can be difficult to know how we’re feeling and what's bothering us. Our attention has to be diverted to so many external things, that we barely have time to understand what’s going on internally. All we know is that we’re not feeling great and are mentally struggling in some way. Or we know exactly what’s bothering us, but have no idea where to go from there. Therapy is the 1 hour a week where we can focus on those mental/emotional aspects of life. Therapy is the place where we gain understanding of where we want to go in life, what may be getting in our way, and what we can do to help ourselves.

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.
