Male Therapists in Newport Beach, CA
A main focus of my therapy is joining clients in what they are going through. Therapeutic workbooks are great, but there is a big difference between opening up to a workbook versus opening up to a human being. When we open up to another person we make ourselves vulnerable. That is when true growth begins. I set out to try and help people deal with the core issues, as well as enhance their core strengths. When there is recovery in the core, the symptoms can be dealt with. Our problematic situations and behaviors are but a symptom. Website: jeremyharveymft.com

Life adjustments can really throw us off balance. They can cause us to ruminate, increase our already present feelings of anxiety or sadness, and make us shame-spiral as well. I believe that therapy exists to guide us through such trying times. Therapy is there to help us find self-acceptance, be our true selves, and push us out of our comfort zones in such a way that we become stronger and more resilient individuals. As a mental health therapist specializing in men's issues, I take an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on a client-centered methodology to meet the unique needs of each individual.

First of all, you're not “broken” and you don’t need to be “fixed.” You just need help finding answers to your concerns; answers that you already possess but just can't access. You need a person, with both personal and professional experience who understands your concerns to help you to sort through and address them . That’s where I can help. If you want an emotionally distant therapist who uses psychobabble and views you as a project, I won't be a good fit for you. Rather, if you want a confidant and partner who believes therapy should be personal, non-threatening and understandable, please keep reading.

No one should have to suffer pain alone, and having the empathic support of a safe, objective, and caring professional can open your mind to important insights that are otherwise tough to come by. I strive to foster a collaborative therapy environment in which my patients have an outlet to express parts of their mind that they have not yet put to words. Expression of these inner thoughts and feelings can facilitate relief from stress that can otherwise manifest in painful psychological and physiological symptoms.

I work mainly with adults and late adolescents, individually, in couples and in groups. The areas I specialize in are sexual issues (individuals or couples), adults molested as children, emotional intimacy, communication, anxiety, depression, self-awareness, and deep and lasting character change. In my 45 years of practicing counseling and psychotherapy I've worked with a wide variety of people of different ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, and those with physical challenges. I find it immensely rewarding to work with people who are actively seeking to resolve problems through increased self-awareness.

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard--feelings of anxiety, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. I have experienced this firsthand and know there are ways to escape the slavery to addiction. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

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.
