Male Therapists in Bellport, NY
Life is a series of transitions. We often need help in moving from a place of discomfort to a place of calmness, safety, and satisfaction. The process of psychotherapy can help you get to that better place. I work with individuals, couples, and families with a focus on achieving self-understanding for the purpose of changing situations which are stressful and unpleasant. My practice is all inclusive, treating those seemingly well adjusted yet with nagging underlying dissatisfactions to those experiencing extreme distress, alienation, and shame.

I believe that therapy is the process of self-actualization. It is the fulfillment of our overall need to achieve a healthy mind, body, and spirit. It is the place where one can move safely from a world of uncertainty and self-doubt to realizing the hopes and dreams of the individual in both intra and interpersonal relationships. I am firmly committed to the belief that each one of us deserves the life we have always imagined and it's a privilege to be a part of an individuals journey to that place.

Therapy does not have to be a last resort for when your mental health deteriorates and/or life becomes unmanageable. Ideally, it is a space you enter in order to safely explore your thoughts and feelings about not only yourself, but the world around you without judgment. Therapy affords you opportunities to pinpoint what is important to you, and how you can take concrete actions to live with greater fulfillment, authenticity, and empowerment.

I help adults and teens who are experiencing anxiety related to life transitions, trauma (especially interpersonal or relational trauma), and related relationship issues. I have worked extensively with people experiencing these issues in my years as a therapist. People come to me looking for help with these issues, and I work with the person to help them identify and reach their goals for themselves. Typically, people say that they start to feel relief with a couple of weeks of starting therapy.

Finding someone who truly recognizes the unique nature of your struggles can be challenging. I believe that effective therapy must be tailored to the individual as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method of counseling. My approach recognizes that the strength of the therapeutic bond is a prerequisite for meaningful change to occur. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal strife, or trauma, I will take every effort to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

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.
