Men’s Issues
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Men often experience themselves, the world, and relationships in some fundamentally different ways than women. Moreover, they're often conditioned to ignore their own emotional experiences and needs. This can result in a great deal of distress that often leave men feeling frustrated and confused. I enjoy teaching men concrete skills for better understanding themselves and their needs, and then effectively express those needs in a way that is more likely to get them met.

Men’s Issues
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
More men are turning to therapy. They’re realizing the benefits of having space to connect with their feelings, deepen their relationships, and find greater meaning in life. As they understand themselves better through therapy, many men gain new insights into the ways they were shaped by masculinity, both for good and for ill. Reckoning with how masculine and patriarchal norms have shaped us can help us build on the strengths found in masculinity and reduce the influence of more toxic elements.
I work with male-identified patients of all sexualities and cultural identities. I have particular strengths working with queer men and same-sex male couples. My research and clinical work has focused on the experiences of queer men, especially bisexual men and queer male military Veterans. Some men elect to work specifically on men’s issues from the start of treatment, and others only address issues of masculinity explicitly when relevant in treatment. Regardless, people who struggle with issues related to masculinity would likely benefit from working with a provider specializing in psychotherapy with men.

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.

Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I offer a specialized and compassionate approach to addressing men’s issues through psychodynamic therapy. My practice uniquely integrates techniques from Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, creating a supportive and empowering environment where men can explore and address the challenges they face.
Understanding that men often experience unique societal pressures and expectations, my approach focuses on helping men navigate these challenges while fostering emotional resilience and self-awareness. By delving into the unconscious processes that influence thoughts and behaviors, clients gain insight into the root causes of their struggles, whether related to identity, relationships, career stress, or societal expectations.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to creating a genuine therapeutic connection and promoting present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong, trusting relationship where men feel safe to express their vulnerabilities and explore their emotions. Through this connection, we work together to develop healthy coping mechanisms, improve interpersonal relationships, and build a stronger sense of self.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the specific needs of my male clients, ensuring they receive the most relevant and effective care. By integrating psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques, I help men transform their struggles into opportunities for personal growth and empowerment.

Together, we will work to overcome the unique challenges you face, empower you with the tools and insights needed for lasting change, and guide you toward a future filled with confidence and purpose.
