Male Therapists in Austin, TX

Let's face it - maybe you’ve attempted to fix your problems on your own, but just can’t. You’re still trying to figure what to do and need some help, so you chose to seek out support. I specialize in working with men and recognize that being a man in our society presents a unique set of challenges and issues. Common issues I work with clients on include relationship/intimacy struggles, isolation, depression, anxiety, shame, anger/rage, sexual issues, feelings of numbness and addiction. I can assure you a level of comfort and understanding as well as specialized training when dealing with these issues.

Men , are you stuck feeling like no matter what you do in your relationship, you just can't seem to connect the dots and see the success you have been striving for? Do you feel like your partner hasn't prioritized you? Do you want to think clearly and make wise choices? You want to feel less of a burden? You want to be able to plan in advance about what you think, say and do? You want more control over your emotions? Do you want to take your rightful place in your partners mind?

I assist people going through difficult life changes that need to talk through any difficult emotions or feelings that may be causing them distress. I help people realize their power in various environments they may be having a difficult time in (Work, Home, Relationships, etc). My typical client is an adult or adolescent male or female (LGBTQ friendly) that wants to work on understanding and conquering their fears, difficult situations impeding their life and gaining a better understanding of themselves.

Most people who come to therapy are trying either to deal with a symptom-depression, anxiety, stress, etc.- or they are struggling with some relationship, or even struggling with oneself- one's own history, or a bad habit. Therapy always begins with your presenting problem. People develop strategies to deal with life, but sometimes what worked before isn't working anymore. A good therapist is always committed 100% to your best interest. Once I have earned your trust, it becomes easier to accept a new idea, a new approach, or a new strategy. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective.

I am experienced at helping to transform depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and other struggles through a variety of active techniques: Psychodynamic therapy with a Jungian orientation, expressive arts therapy, imago therapy for couples, action methods for groups, and mindfulness processes. With leaders and organizations, I use a dynamic set of processes that help to transform conflict and develop emotional intelligence and authenticity. I also am a licensed LPC supervisor and train facilitators to use these techniques with their clients.

Do you feel like you are stuck? Do you feel trapped, unable to move past painful experiences in your past? Do you feel mired in negative feelings in the present? Do you find yourself repeating the same destructive patterns over and over? You are not alone. Addressing these questions is the first step towards positive change and growth. I believe counseling is often more than seeking to feel better - it is a journey. It is a way to become the Author of your own Story. Therapy can offer an avenue towards self-empowerment, fulfillment and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. A path towards living more authentically.

I view my role as a therapist much like that of a guide as well as a teacher. I work to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced way. Through utilizing existing tools, as well as learning new possibilities of living, clients are able to reach their full potential for prolonged success. The foundational approaches I choose to work from are person centered, and mindfulness based. I also utilize experiential forms of therapy.

Men have never lost the desire to explore. This desire frequently leads men to seek alternative ways to navigate the spinning world around them including their own potential.

And you’ve realized this disconnect shows up in the form of emotional distress, up and down relationships, and/or doubt about where your life is taking you.
