Is your mind constantly bombarded with thoughts of worry, and feelings of constant anxiety that’s negatively impacting your personal and professional life? Are you having a difficult time managing day to day tasks, and lacking motivation to do things that you were once passionate about? Or maybe traumatizing life experiences have impacted you in way that obscured how you see and feel about yourself resulting in patterns of self sabotaging thoughts and behaviors keeping you from recognizing your strengths, and keeping you from moving forward to your Best Self unapologetically.

Special interests include grief & loss, religious trauma, meaning and purpose, men's issues, working with BIPOC folk, issues concerning race, and issues surrounding relationships with the self.
Be very careful of the narratives that shape your identity, as they can ultimately define your reality. Narratives have a powerful influence on how we interpret our experiences and guide our actions. Unfortunately, an unhelpful narrative can limit our choices, obscure alternative options, and impede personal growth, leading to a sense of insurmountable problems. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the stories we tell ourselves and reshape them to live a more liberated and meaningful life.

As men, we often tell ourselves, "It's not that bad, I'm good" and brush off our issues. Men are experiencing unique challenges and pressures in our society. With balancing the complexities of manhood and pressures to adhere to masculinity, some men are finding themselves frustrated and confused in how to navigate life. Whether you're juggling issues at work, feeling disconnected from your loved ones, or feeling depressed/anxious, know that you're not alone. The traditional notions of masculinity often discourage emotional vulnerability and disclosure, promoting instead an image of stoicism, strength, and self-reliance.

Let me guess… you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t “take.” Or… you’ve tried therapy and all you did was talk for an hour straight while somebody nodded at you, which left you wondering why you were even there in the first place. You’ll notice that most therapy gets caught up asking about your emotions; the proverbial “and how does that make you feel?” Then it’s typical to get caught up in an endless reaction loop, worrying about your emotions and where “they” are going to take you next. But consider this: what if it has nothing to do with your emotions? What if it has to do with your thinking?

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.
