Therapy for Men: Breaking the Stigma and Finding the Right Therapeutic Fit
For many men, seeking therapy is not about weakness; it is about courage. You may be navigating challenges in your relationships, work-related stress, grief, or simply struggling with an internal sense that something feels off. You may be carrying anger that feels unmanageable, dealing with unspoken vulnerability, or holding onto pain from the past that has yet to find a voice. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate this alone.
As a therapist who works with men, I create a space where you can show up without pretense or pressure. I offer a space that is both respectful and judgment-free, a place where masculinity is not questioned but explored and honored. Together, we will work to identify the stories you have inherited or internalized about what it means to be a man, and examine whether those stories continue to serve you. This is the heart of narrative therapy: not fixing you, but helping you reclaim authorship of your life.
From the perspective of positive psychology, therapy is not just about reducing distress. It is also about building emotional resilience, deepening your sense of purpose, and fostering strengths you may not yet fully recognize. Whether you are working on communication skills, emotional regulation, or reconnecting with meaning, we can work collaboratively to help you create a life that feels more aligned with your values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help us identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that may be holding you back. Many men come to therapy carrying beliefs that they must always be in control, stay silent about pain, or never ask for help. These internalized messages can quietly undermine well-being and relationships. CBT offers practical tools for shifting those beliefs and building more supportive internal narratives.
Mindfulness offers another powerful tool in our work together. By learning to stay present, rather than getting stuck in loops of regret or future anxiety, you can develop greater self-awareness, patience, and clarity. Mindfulness helps men feel more grounded in their responses—especially when navigating anger, stress, or interpersonal tension.
