Life can be difficult... Stress from work, relationships, and other life experiences may leave a person feeling alone or lacking support.

Counseling can be seen as a relational tool in working towards the life you've been wanting for yourself, whether it looks like managing mental health symptoms or realizing your goals.

In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

Sometimes life just sucks and we feel alone, misunderstood, and stuck. It's easy to feel embarrassed by the circumstances we find ourselves in which make it even more difficult to reach out and ask for help. Kudos to you for starting out on this journey!

I primarily work with clients who have suffered trauma and want to reduce their struggles with the memory. These include molestation, rape, assault, car wrecks, injuries or fights. I also work with people who are depressed, anxious or grieving. I work with people who struggle with addictive or compulsive behaviors such as pornography use, infidelity, excessive internet use, or excessive alcohol use - whether these are issues spurred on by past traumas or not. Although we sometimes are not too sure what we want in life I work to help clients make decisions which will help them thrive.

Openings are currently available! I have both weekly and bi-weekly openings currently. Welcome to Storyboard Counseling! My name is Javin (like Gavin with a ‘J’), and I appreciate you stopping by. You are already showing great strength in reaching out for help in seeking counseling support. In the creation of films, tv shows, video games, and other mediums, storyboards are used to show potential events of a story, a “rough draft” in images of what is going to happen. Some panels on a storyboard are locked in and cannot be changed. However, there are many elements of a story that can evolve and change in its making.

My ideal client is seeking positive change. They may face trauma, depression, addiction, or anxiety, but they’re not defined by these. They’re brave individuals seeking support who need a safe space to express themselves, empathy, understanding, and professional guidance. Their goals are unique. Some aim to manage symptoms better, or seek to understand their feelings’ root cause. Some want to improve relationships, others aim to build better coping mechanisms. They seek a fulfilling, balanced life, free from past chains, in control of their present and future. They seek happiness and new ways to tap into their resilience.

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.
