Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Traditionally, it is not easy for us men to open up and share, including asking for help. Needless to say, this may be a problem for our partners. Just because we can learn to share thoughts and feelings more appropriately, does not mean we have to do so with the entire world. But the important people in our lives may appreciate this growth

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Men are struggling these days. We often are unsure who we are supposed to be. We have a much hard time reaching out for help. Men suffer from a toxic gender norm that dictates they be strong, capable, and not express weakness or vulnerability. Overcoming that norm is one of the key things we do in our work. Helping men get in touch with and expressing their feelings is a powerful experience. I provide both individual and group therapy opportunities for men. There is nothing more inspiring than being in a group of men, holding another man as he weeps or rages.

Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living in a world drowning in toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and hyper-competitive capitalism has done so much damage to our ideas of what it means to be a man in the world today. Let's climb through the shame, anger, frustration, and despair to find a new story of what it means to be a man and how that could change your connections to others.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Being a man myself, I understand a lot of what our gender struggles with. We are always told to be "tough", or "man up". We tend to bottle up our emotions because that is what means to be "manly". It is becoming increasingly difficult for a man to understand what his role is, with the world changing everyday. We can explore that together, and help you work through the stigmas associated with being a man.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist, I understand that men today face a wide range of complex issues, from masculinity and relationships, to work-life balance and emotional expression. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and understand these challenges, and to work towards finding solutions that will improve their well-being.
I specialize in working with men using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of your issues, identify patterns of behavior that may be holding you back, and develop effective strategies to improve your relationships, manage stress, and increase emotional intelligence.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace. I will provide a non-judgmental and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and work through your struggles.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
I work with men who are addicted or struggling with porn use. Often times men don't know why they are drawn to using porn. I help them figure out the triggers, create accountability, and abstain from using porn.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a supportive and understanding environment tailored to addressing men's issues, recognizing the unique challenges and societal expectations faced by men today. Through a blend of holistic and psychotherapeutic strategies, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I help men explore and express their emotions, improve communication skills, and navigate personal and professional challenges. This comprehensive approach encourages self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth, allowing men to break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors. By fostering a space for open dialogue and exploration, I aim to support men in developing healthier relationships, achieving life balance, and cultivating a strong sense of self. Whether dealing with stress, relationship issues, identity concerns, or emotional health, I am here to guide men through their journey towards well-being and fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of holistic health and emotional integrity.

Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
As men we are often discouraged from "feeling" and are trained/taught to be "fix it" people. Although solutions are helpful, my primarily goal in working with men with Men's Issues is to get in touch with emotions and help men identify, express and regulate feelings so they don't overwhelm or restrict them.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As men, we are often taught to white-knuckle it through our problems and "tough it out." In many families, showing emotion is considered "weakness."
While public awareness of mental health is changing, the stigma around feeling persistent sadness or anxiety is a harsh reality for many men. Our therapy is a safe place to share what's going on. There's no judgment here. We will explore your emotions and how to better understand where they come from. Once we have that solid base of understanding, we will find ways to release those feelings in a healthy way.
