Men’s Issues
Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
It is not uncommon for those of us who have been instilled with the expectation that to be vulnerable is, to some degree, a reflection of weakness. However, to be human is to be inherently vulnerable and the best we can do is to accept this within ourselves and others so that we can continue on in our journey toward living a fulfilling life.

Tammy Morath, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-S
Are you feeling lost and uncertain about the way your life is going? Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Do you wish you had someone to talk to but are afraid that asking for help isn’t “the manly thing to do?”
While traditionally men have not been the ones to seek out therapy, that doesn’t mean they haven’t had reason to. For example, according to a recent Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) survey, the number of men who seek treatment for mental health issues is significantly lower than the number of women with the same mental health concerns.
Why is this?
From a young age, men are taught rigid masculinity – that is to be strong and to keep their emotions in check. This often leads to many men feeling isolated, anxious and depressed. The very emotions they should seek help for, they stuff down and “go it alone.” Bearing their emotional pain seems a better idea than opening themselves up to the stigma of seeking therapy.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Men’s mental health often goes unnoticed, tucked away beneath the surface of stoic facades, as societal norms pressure many to hide their struggles and soldier on in silence. This silence can deepen the isolation, making it harder to reach out for help or even acknowledge the need for it, compounding stress, depression, and anxiety. My men’s mental health services provide a confidential, judgment-free zone where you can express vulnerabilities, learn coping strategies, and build resilience, encouraging a healthier, open dialogue about mental well-being.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether we focus on masculinity or not, the pressures and expectations that men can face create a unique dynamic that can't be ignored. As a psychologist specializing in men's issues, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce your strengths while exploring the aspects of your life that don't fit or work as well as you'd want. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences can impact the body and brain in ways that disrupt our daily life. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.
