Newport Institute maintains a full-time, in-house team dedicated to supporting families through the mental health insurance coverage and financing process.

Our goal is to ensure that families receive the maximum coverage, so they can access the highest-quality treatment.

San Jose, CA 95126
As human beings, we all are looking for peace and well-being in our lives. We desire a sense of agency, human connection, and creative flow. However, when traumatic events happen and we perceive that we are broken, or not safe, the experience of pain, grief, anger, and fears can be overwhelming. When it becomes unbearably hard to sustain joy, trust and closeness in your life and relationships, asking for help is a brave step forward. How can you find healing and create desired connections, while not losing your self in the process? How can you let go of habitual judgments, self-deprecation, and shame? The Process Model of therapy helps us to identify the ways we constrict ourselves and release them, allowing the sense of relief and life expansion, resulting in re-connection to self, others, and the world around us.

Men's Issues Treatment Centers
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.
