In the tapestry of life, the majority of happiness comes from the relationships we keep. Likewise, most suffering comes from relationships that are strained or fraying. From spouses and children, to extended family and friends – things can go sideways and quite quickly. When this happens bad feelings crowd out the good. Over time, painful patterns form, seeming to have a life of their own. Breaking these painful patterns often requires the skills of an objective, seasoned professional.

Do you feel you could use a new direction in your life? My relaxed style and curiosity about what makes a happy and healthy day, week, or year will help us to build the path for your own life that you’ve been hoping for. It’s easy to get off track with stresses and de mands of daily responsibilities. Anxiety and depression can frustrate our best efforts. For men, it can be especially difficult to take time to evaluate where we are taking our life. I’m especially passionate about talking with men and wo men, young and old, about the unique de mands of the past few years.

My name is Jesse Rappaport. I have an easy going style, and know that getting to know a new therapist can take some time, I try to make that easier by creating a relaxed atmosphere. One approach I use is EMDR; for treating traumatic experiences. Using EMDR for over twenty years in private practice, I am still awed by the deep transformation, and profound relief that this approach can bring. It is a privilege to witness clients unburdened of trauma becoming able to access their own internal resources, strength and healing. It is as if one's future self somehow becomes available in the present. I most often work with adults 18 +.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD, hoarding disorder, and all other anxiety-related disorders: social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, PTSD, generalized anxiety, tics, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., nail-biting). As part of my practice, the primary treatment for these conditions is exposure and response prevention therapy, or ERP. What maybe differentiates my practice from others whose principal therapeutic modality is ERP is that I am able to accept a wide variety of insurances. Additionally, I am one of very few clinicians in the state of Minnesota who specializes in the treatment of hoarding disorder.

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.
