Counseling for Men
Humans are communal. We need feedback from others in order to better ourselves and overcome the issues we face. It can be difficult for men to seek help as we often value our individuality and ability to overcome problems on our own.
But masculinity does not thrive in a vacuum, for men are human, too. While others may have lost track of the value of masculinity, it is important that we do not lose the plot regarding our own value. I use evidence-based modalities to conduct men's issues therapy to help my clients get where they want to go, by recognizing their own values and choosing behaviors that align with those established values. Counseling for men is impactful for the man in therapy, but also for everyone who cares about that man.
A Relatable Male Therapist
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have many years of experience helping both couples and individuals work through difficult life, family, professional, and other personal issues. I understand the hesitation to try therapy. In my own life though, my journey to becoming a therapist was significantly affected by my experience in therapy. I became a therapist to provide others with the same supportive experience I received. I now provide counseling for men because I know just how important that guidance has been for me. My office is a space where we can have the hard conversations that you might not be able to have without anyone in your life. Conversations you might be avoiding because they are difficult or painful. Together we can develop practical solutions to the roadblocks that are holding you back from living the life you most want.
Men’s Issues Therapy Can Help You Solve
Counseling for men can help you work through all aspects of your life – whether it’s for navigating rocky times in your relationship or learning new tools to manage stress or anger at work or in your day-to-day life.
Together, with each of my clients, we work to find ways to overcome the effects of depression and anxiety, to become a better father and/or partner, and to drive towards the self-actualization we seek and is so often mislabeled as masculinity.
If you have never tried therapy, or had a male therapist, take this as a sign that now is the right time! I am available to work with you on whatever aspects of your life you most want to focus on, with complete privacy, confidentiality, and teamwork. Finding the right source for men’s counseling could be exactly what you need right now, to build durable wellness and true masculinity.
FAQs
What happens in therapy?
In a private and safe space, we will talk about whatever is going on in your life. We develop a partnership with the shared goal of helping you achieve your own goals, and ideally gain trust so that you feel comfortable opening up and sharing. I then use appropriate psychological methodologies to teach tools you implement to make changes.
Why would I need therapy?
Life can be challenging to navigate, particularly when facing mental health concerns, escalating stress, conflicting priorities, and the constant juggling act our various responsibilities demand of us.
