Therapy for Men

What are You Struggling With?

Let’s get real here.

You came to this page (or someone came here for you) because you’re struggling with something.
Forget all that stuff about how “privileged” you are. If you were one of those “privileged” guys who has had everything handed to him and can pay for anything he wants, you probably wouldn’t be reading this. And if you’re gay, or black, or any minority, you probably can forget about privilege entirely.

Life is a struggle. You’ve had it easier than some and harder than others, but you’re still dealing with the whole crazy challenging business called life, and nobody ever taught you how to do it. And if you’re like most men, you have nobody you can talk to about how you really think and feel. In fact, you may never have.

You’ve learned to keep your true feelings to yourself. You’ve learned to “use your head.” You’ve learned to power through. And if there’s pain inside you, you’ve learned to ignore it.

You have scars. I know you do. Maybe scars you’ve long since stopped telling people about. That is, if you ever did.

You’ve learned, or at least believe, that the people who matter most to you don’t want to hear all the really messed-up thoughts and feelings you’re having.

But now you’re clogged up, or mixed up, and you can’t or don’t want to push it all down anymore. Maybe your partner is telling you you’re emotionally unavailable, or has just left you. Maybe you’re breaking under all the pressure, or your kids are driving you crazy, or you just feel dead inside and don’t want to feel that way anymore.

Maybe you’ve relieved the pressure and pain trapped inside you by doing things or taking things that made you feel better, freer, more relaxed — temporarily. But they didn’t help. In fact, they created more hurt.

Maybe you want to look inside and begin to know yourself better? And maybe, just maybe, you think it would be a good idea to talk about your insides with a man for a change?

Why a Male Therapist?

Many if not most men are accustomed to going only to women for emotional support. They fear being judged or ridiculed for their feelings by another man. Even imagining really opening up to another man might feel totally weird!

Heaven knows there are some great female therapists out there. (I’m married to one.) But there are some issues and feelings that are easier to open up about and share with another man. There are also some ways of feeling and being, and some deeper core experiences that men share that women don’t. Women have their own set of these that are more easily understood by other women.

To be honest, so many men feel they can never be authentic and share anything personal with anyone but the women (or woman) in their life. Truthfully, that kinda sucks — for you and for them.

I’ve worked with hundreds of men, straight, gay and bi from ages 20-80, and I’m fairly certain there’s nothing I haven’t heard before. All I ask is that you want to know yourself, and face yourself, and be honest and brave, and to want more out of life than you currently have.
