Male Therapists in Marion, IA
I believe that at any given moment we are all doing the best that we can with what we have within us. Everyone has found themselves in the midst of the struggle at some point, and that struggle may appear the same or differently each time. I enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns such as anxious/depressive symptoms, relationship conflict, trauma, and personality disorders. No one can force a change to happen so there is never a guarantee of services. However, if you are looking for someone to provide safety and support while challenging you to better understand yourself and your roles - this may be a good space for you.

As your therapist, I'm here to be present while you share your experiences. I appreciate the mindset, “To be clear is to be kind” and bring that into the therapy room.

Something that I hear many clients share is that therapy fails when they stop feeling like a person and start to feel like a subject to be figured out.
It's never easy to admit that sometimes we need help. It can be even harder to acknowledge that sometimes we aren't sure what it is we need to feel better, to feel more stable, and to be present in our lives. It can be easy to let life happen and distract to avoid the stress of it all. But, sort of like that car ride home after work, it can be a very unnerving experience when you've arrived home at the end of the day and have no idea how you got there. The good news? You aren't alone. And, it doesn't have to be that way.

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.
