But what happens when you come across something that doesn’t budge, no matter how much charm, money, or elbow grease you throw at it?
Maybe that’s where the anger comes out, or maybe you find yourself withdrawing inwards. Ignoring problems only compounds them, and that voice in the back of your head starts talking shit in a way that’s cutting, not motivating.
You’re not weak or failing—you’re human, and it's time for a better approach. Whether it’s relationship conflicts, work stress, anger, or navigating fatherhood, therapy helps you see beyond your external success and uncover why it’s not bringing you genuine happiness.
You’re so used to handling things on your own. Fixing problems, pushing through stress and keeping a brave face throughout.
Specific Challenges Men Face
It’s pointless (and stupid) to try to put a neat little container around the different experiences of a modern man, but there are a number of challenges that most men can identify. Maybe someone once pointed out something about you that stuck, or you recognized parts of yourself in a character from a movie.
Most likely, you’ll be able to see yourself in more than one of these examples:
FOUNDER & CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Why doing everything "right" still leaves you swiping alone on a Friday night?
You're a "Nice Guy"
You’ve repaired everything from cars to computers, but panic hits when you encounter a problem you can't immediately solve.
You're a Fixer
How do you rebuild trust in a relationship when your partner won’t stop staring daggers at you?
You're the Partner Who Cheated
Is it even worth rebuilding the relationship, when you’re constantly questioning if it’s going to happen again?
You're the One Who Was Cheated On
Your partner says you have issues with managing your anger and you start to disagree until you realize you’re already yelling.
You're Angry
Dealing with the sleeplessness that everybody talks about, and also the strains on the relationship that nobody seems to talk about
You're a New Dad
You're clocking 60+ hours weekly, but your paycheck isn't covering the emotional cost anymore.
You're the Primary Breadwinner
You consider yourself a modern guy but can’t help feeling a little guilty that your partner takes you out to dinner.
You're Not the Primary Breadwinner
You have no problem talking about the happenings of others, but you’re at a loss for words when somebody holds up a mirror to yourself.
You've Got Feelings About Everyone But Yourself
You have a hard time asserting yourself at work, friends go too far in giving you shit, and your partner uses you as an emotional punching bag.
You're More Passive Than You’d Like to Admit
What We'll Do in Therapy to Help
So, what does this actually look like in practice? Here are a few areas we’ll most likely cover:
Redefine Strength on Your Terms
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Therapy helps you explore vulnerability without shame, so you can lead, connect, and live from a place of authenticity—not just toughness.
Strengthen Your Relationships
Whether repairing trust after infidelity, improving intimacy, or managing fatherhood stresses, therapy provides real solutions and lasting strategies.
Build Emotional Intelligence
You'll learn to recognize, understand, and express your emotions beyond just anger or frustration, helping you live authentically and openly.
Improve Communication
We’ll help you build clear, assertive communication skills that enhance your relationships, career, and overall well-being.
Manage Stress and Anxiety
You'll gain practical tools to manage anxiety, panic, and stress so you can face life's demands without feeling overwhelmed.
Understand Your Patterns
We'll explore your reactions and behaviors, discovering what's underneath so you can respond intentionally instead of reacting impulsively.
How Will Therapy For Men Help Me?
And there are aspects that are constant. There are no judgments here. There is no way to “fail” therapy and if you’re not ready to talk about something, that’s OK.
Maybe we’ll get to it down the line. The only thing you need to do is bring yourself and every part of yourself. The more work you put into therapy, the more growth you’ll be able to see.
And when it’s hard to see the progress you’ve made, or you’re unsure which direction to go in, your therapist will always be there to give you a nudge.
Do I really need therapy? I don’t have a major crisis.
Sometimes, the best time to start therapy is when you actually don’t have any major crisis at all. When you’re in crisis mode, we really are only able to dive into the crisis itself. But when things are stable and constant, we’re able to go much deeper and take a more proactive approach to deal with life’s stressors before they grow into a crisis.
I don’t have time for therapy.
OK, you’re busy. We get it. But just stop and think for a second about how much time you spend ruminating/stressing/agonizing over whatever issue brought you here in the first place. Therapy is not a quick fix, but a long-term solution. Things aren’t going to just get better on their own.
Therapy seems expensive?
Therapy is definitely an investment (you’re probably tired of hearing that). But it's an investment exclusively in you and that might be something outside of your comfort zone. You’re probably not used to prioritizing yourself (most guys aren’t).
Most of the things we talk about in therapy–stress, anger, and unresolved emotional baggage–don't just disappear. They build up and start to smell, like milk in the back of a refrigerator. You might notice physical issues related to them, or you’ll notice spreading cracks in your relationships, or you realize you’ve been passed over for a promotion three times now. These are all things that cost more money, time, and emotional energy to fix, if it’s even still possible.
My partner wants me to go to therapy—ugh. What does that mean?
Therapy isn't about blame. It's about improving how you handle challenges, communicate, and engage in relationships—benefiting you and those around you.
I don’t know, I’m still hesitant about therapy.
This feeling is so common, it’s actually one of our specialties. Read more here.
