The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Do you trust this therapist will not judge or condemn you? Will you wonder if they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain? An effective therapist has to successfully create and hold this safe and non-threatening space while exploring alongside you without judgment.

Life is hard and there are no instructions. Sometimes we struggle with the big issues like death, anxiety, isolation and meaninglessness. Often, our relationship with family and other loved ones has has been challenging and painful. Substance use can truly destroy a life. For some there are specific quirks that are causing problems. Most of these issues require in-depth exploration; developing a better relationship to our minds, self and others; increased mindfulness and engagement with the world; and specific behavioral change. Having a trusted guide can be a great help.

Hello! Glad you've decided to check out my profile. RELIGIous TRAUma impacts thousands and thousands of people. Maybe you’re one of them.

We all have this image of how our lives should be, and when things don't perfectly align with that picture, it feels like we're failing. It's like we're constantly chasing this imaginary finish line and never quite fully reaching it. The pressures we put on ourselves, combined with the external pressures of work, family obligations, bills that need to be paid, and looming to-do lists, have us feeling overwhelmed and underwater. Mix in one or two of life's bigger curveballs, like a health scare, losing a loved one, or being laid off, and BAM! We no longer feel like we have any control over our own lives.

When we enter therapy, we are hurting, suffering, and often do not know what to do. During therapy we can explore our problems and our psychological life to discover ways to transcend our current problems and get to know ourselves more fully. In this process we can grow our inner strength and learn new ways to address the challenges of life in a way that fosters resilience and brings a sense of wholeness to our personality.

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.
