I provide holistic psychotherapy to help my clients create a more joyful and fulfilling life for themselves. I work well with a wide variety of psychoemotional problems. These include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions. Relationship difficulties are a specialty of mine and I take a lot of joy in helping people improve their relationship life. My approach is different than most therapy and psychiatry in that it's not just about reducing symptoms, it's about each person's unique prescription for happiness.

As a therapist I've learned: "TALKING HELPS"! When you're not feeling your feelings or you're 'alone' with confusing feelings, then hopelessness or depression can set in. I commonly work with victims of emotional abuse and childhood trauma, and as your therapist I will be on this journey of exploration and understanding with you. If you'd like to have an idea of how I work feel free to check out my YouTube channel at YouTube.com/BradShore.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
