Men's Issues

Studies have shown that women are much more likely than men to seek therapy. However, just like women, men can benefit from having a confidential, private space to explore any issues that might be coming up for them. The term “men’s issues” can refer to any number of concerns men might face, including anger management, addiction, intimacy issues, domestic violence, mid-life crises, grief or loss – in addition to mental health issues like anxiety or depression. If you have found yourself experiencing any of these issues (or others), reach out to one of TherapyDen’s men’s issues specialists today.

Men's issues encompass a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological challenges that often go unrecognized or unaddressed. Men are indoctrinated into rigid notions of masculinity, which can stifle emotional expression leaving them disconnected from others as well as themselves. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore their feelings and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment, allowing them to reconnect more deeply with themselves and others.

Given the prevalence of screens and the demands of our capitalistic culture, there seems less time to connect with other men and express our wild masculine side. We suffer from loneliness, disconnection and anger, coupled with a feeling that our masculinity is not welcomed.

As a cis man, and through my work with male clients, I seek to explore and interrogate what it means to "be a man" in today's society. I believe that you are "already a man," regardless of how one does or does not fit into societal stereotypes. I support others in the struggles that come with the attempts to live up to impossible standards and challenge the status quo, helping individuals become true to themselves, regardless of others' perceptions.

— eric bjorlin, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Evanston, IL

As men, our interaction with the world is one of high and demanding expectations. We are expected to protect, to provide, to care for, to fix or to plan. We are expected to not show emotion. Everyone depends on us to provide stability. Who is looking out for us? Who is thinking about the daily pressures we bear? I see you. I see your silent suffering. You don’t have to fight this alone, I am in your corner.

— Jared Yslas, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in Tacoma, WA

Too masculine, not masculine enough? Too in touch with emotions, not in touch enough? For so many of us men, we don't fit into any one box. Yet, we might have been raised or currently living among people who don't get us. This can lead us to question if we are 'good enough' or 'doing it right.' Learn how to be comfortable in whatever way you choose to express who you are. Let me help you release old fears, old patterns and live authentically, now and everyday.

— Cole Huggins, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Atlanta, GA

In this world of changing gender roles it helps to think directly about what it means to be a man. The toxic masculinity we have been shown is no longer meeting our needs for meaning, love, or even empowerment. It can be liberating to ask, "What is sacred masculinity?" If we can have compassion and curiosity for the parts of us that took on toxic masculine attitudes, we can also learn to live in ways that honor both the sacred masculine and the feminine aspects of our being.

— Carlyle Stewart, Counselor in Asheville, NC
