Men’s Issues
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy is something often uncomfortable for men because the process of therapy differs from the messages received growing up. But bottling up feelings can heighten anger and prevent growth and connection to friends, family, and partners. In the past several years that has also been much push back against prior "norms" that may bring anxiety and uncertainty and even resentment. Adapting to cultural and societal changes happens by being vulnerable - first with yourself.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.
