We all get stuck at times and it can be quite difficult to navigate overwhelming circumstances and stressors alone. I work with all demographics but place greater focus on on men's issues. My approach is to build a comfortable and relational environment where each person can be real, regardless of their unique struggle.

Addiction, be it Alcohol or Drugs, even chocolate, yes chocolate, (sugar). It is my opinion that all addictions are treatable, and all Recovery goals can be achieved when working together. I do not have all the answers, but working together we can develop a plan that may help you succeed in your recovery program. One just has to have the desire to want to change their lives, to be honest with themselves, to make a commitment to themselves, and be willing to do the work. Afterall, it's an investment in yourself. I invest a lot of time and effort into what I do because I truly love what I do.

Do you feel that life has gotten so much harder the past few years? Is it difficult for you to slow down and relax? Do you constantly feel pressured to try harder or be perfect? Does your brain constantly replay the most difficult moments of your life? The endless pressure to find our purpose and be good enough can lead to feelings of worry, fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, avoidance and isolation. These feelings can be overwhelming and leave us feeling disconnected from people and activities that matter the most to us. My objective is to support you in slowing down, finding moments of relief and reconnecting with what’s important.

It feels like anxiety has a hold on your life. You wake up in the middle of the night overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. You’re not able to give all of yourself to your personal relationships. The people who once felt close to you now feel distant. You often feel like a fraud, and consistently discredit yourself and your experiences. You also worry that others might discover that you’re a “fraud.” You’re reluctant to go after new opportunities (promotions, etc.) because you don’t feel like you deserve them. You’ve decided it’s time to change this.

When you walk into my office seeking support, it is important to me that you feel respected and, with time, safe to be just as you are. When you get to the point of reaching out for counseling, there is something going on that’s just not working how it’s supposed to. Even our most difficult mental health symptoms were born with the intention of protecting us somehow. Often it’s difficult to understand why we’re acting or feeling a certain way. My goal is to work with you and to be curious with you so that whatever is troubling you can start to make more sense. Together, with compassion, we can begin to invite change to take place.

At Praus Counseling I serve both adult and adolescent populations who struggle with problematic/maladaptive sexual behaviors and addictions. We live in a time where easy, limitless stimulation is all around us. Yet the topic of sex is saturated with so much shame that we often avoid it and never gain the ability to effectively discuss it with others. Through exploring familial upbringing, processing negative self-beliefs, building good habits, learning how to respond to natural urges, and gaining comfort and confidence discussing these issues, we can effectively reduce the shame that often drives continued problematic behavior.

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.
