Counseling is a process where you and I as a therapist co-operate to discover the things that have kept you from living, and being the person you want. In order to help, I need to know about your situation and life in general. It is important that you be willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings etc. This takes tremendous courage. As we discuss your needs, my job is to help you find the patterns, themes, contradictions, or things that are undiscovered within you and discover ways to increase your growth and happiness.

Being a therapist is not just a job to me, it's a calling. My mission? To support guys in navigating life's challenges while fostering an environment of complete comfort. Often, perceptions about therapy are shaped by hearsay or pop culture portrayals suggesting it's just for people who can't hold it together or those who've lost their way mentally. This is a clichéd stereotype – and it all boils down to one thing: stigma. You've probably heard it before, the hushed whispers saying, "I must be losing it if I need a therapist." But here's the truth: it's not about being weak, broken, or crazy. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Waitlist for new clients
Stress, self-doubt, and worry can be difficult enough to manage on our own when things are "normal," but when you add the impact of the recent events our society is dealing with they can seem overwhelming. Whether a teenager or an adult, stress and trauma can make us question who we are and what's important to us. Negative emotions and thoughts get in the way of our relationships with other people and make us feel like we aren't able to be the person we want to be. Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you make changes which bring more control and confidence in to your life.

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.
