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.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Men’s issues often involve carrying a lot internally—stress, pressure, anger, loneliness, or pain that doesn’t always have an easy place to go. Getting to know your emotions takes strength, and learning to bring them into your relationships and values-driven life takes even more. Therapy offers a safe, grounded relationship where you can better understand what you feel, what you’ve learned to do with those feelings, and how emotions may be shaping your life in ways that are subtle but powerful. Over time, this work can help you feel more steady and connected, and make choices that reflect who you want to be—rather than feeling driven by overwhelm, disconnection, or patterns that keep repeating.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a licensed therapist specializing in men's mental health, I have dedicated my professional life to helping men navigate through various life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, career concerns, and issues surrounding masculinity. I believe in the importance of mental wellness and emotional self-awareness, and I understand the unique societal pressures and expectations that many men face. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where men can express themselves openly, build resilience, and explore effective strategies for personal growth and improved mental health. My therapeutic approach is centered around empathy, compassion, and individualized care, as I firmly believe in each person's capacity to heal, change, and grow. Let's work together to build the strength, courage, and tools necessary for a more fulfilling, balanced life.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Half of my practice is with male clients and many of the issues they come to me for might be characterized as "male" issues. I do a lot of work around male sexual concerns such as Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, and other sexual issues. According to research as much as 70% of these issues are the result of anxiety, emotional issues, mental blocks rather than physical problems. Many of my clients have been to doctors and therapists, or different types of alternative practitioners without getting relief. I can usually resolve their issue in one or two sessions. I also work with many men who struggle with relationship problems, emotional issues with their partners, loss and grief stemming from a breakup or death.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Men’s Issues & Modern Masculinity: Many men carry the weight of responsibility in silence while struggling internally with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional disconnection, relationship challenges, and the pressure to always be strong, successful, and in control. You may feel exhausted from constantly performing, numb or disconnected from your emotions, or unsure how to express what you actually feel without judgment or conflict.
As a therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help men move beyond survival mode and rigid expectations of masculinity. Together, we explore emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, sexual concerns, stress responses, and the internal beliefs that keep you stuck in overworking, shutting down, or coping alone. You’ll learn how to regulate emotions, communicate more clearly, and reconnect with your body and inner world in a grounded and practical way.
This work is about redefining masculinity into something more whole. Strong enough to feel, grounded enough to stay present, and open enough to build real connection in your relationships, sexuality, and life.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Society often tells men to “tough it out,” leaving struggles buried and isolated. I provide a space to explore identity, emotions, and pressures, helping men live authentically, express themselves fully, and navigate life with strength and emotional insight.

Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
In my opinion, the therapy space doesn't always honor masculinity in the way that it should. Therapy with me involves preserving your masculinity while directly addressing the things that aren't working for you. My goal is to ensure that you don't stay in therapy indefinitely - and leave feeling empowered and capable of handling whatever comes your way. Let's get to work.
