Therapy for
Men's Issues

Modern Challenges Faced by Modern Men

Men in the modern day face a unique set of challenges. The messages and values most men have internalized from our broader society often cause an inner sense of dissonance. This incongruity can easily slip into and impact our relationships - often without us even knowing. Therapy can help us make sense of what is happening so we can regain our sense of agency and control over our lives.

Men & Isolation

Men are raised to be tough and expected to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. More so than not, this is done at the cost of us feeling isolated, anxious, irritable, and ashamed of not measuring up in our careers, finances, romantic lives, and athletically. Further, this can have a particularly impacting effect on one’s sexual functioning.

For men who are Transgender, it is not uncommon to feel ostracized from other groups of men. One may be unconsciously experiencing a persistent and unnamed sense of loss for not having been socialized or raised as a man/raised in a way that is congruent with an authentic sense of self.

Men & the Different Types of Courage

Culturally, men are asked to demonstrate a certain type of courage. One that is aroused to help us push past exhaustion, override fear and take necessary risks. The shadow side of this is that it can lead one to a false sense of invulnerability. Furthermore, it can be confusing when we encounter situations in life that require different types of courage. I believe that seeking therapy signifies this type of unspoken strength.

The Seeking of a Male Therapist

Many men seek a male therapist. With this there comes an organic and natural understanding of men’s issues within the dyad. This facilitates the exploration of thought, emotions, and experiences. Having a safe and non-judgmental place to unpack anxieties, relationship issues, work-related stress, emotional struggles, and/or sexual issues is essential in one’s journey to overcoming obstacles, finding balance, and ultimately to leading a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Some Areas of Focus for Men's Issues are:

Relationships and Intimacy: Addressing challenges in romantic relationships, improving communication, and cultivating deeper connections.
Work-Life Balance: Managing stress, setting boundaries, and finding fulfillment in your professional and personal life.
Anger and Emotional Regulation: Developing healthy coping strategies, exploring the root causes of anger, and building emotional resilience.
Self-Esteem and Identity: Nurturing self-confidence, exploring masculinity constructs, and cultivating a positive self-image.
Life Transitions: Guiding you through major life changes such as career shifts, becoming a father, or adjusting to new roles and responsibilities.
Mental Health and Wellness: Supporting you in managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns that may impact your overall well-being.
