Men's Issues
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Men’s issues often involve unspoken pressures around performance, intimacy, emotional expression, and identity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support men in developing a more coherent and embodied sense of self. This process allows for greater freedom in relationships, sexuality, and emotional life.

Men's Issues
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most men arrive in therapy having spent years inside a definition of masculinity that was never examined — only inherited. The cost shows up as numbness, as rage that finds no proportion, as relationships that stay on the surface because going deeper was never modeled and never permitted. The work is not about dismantling masculinity. It is about distinguishing between what was given to you and what actually belongs to you, so you can begin living from something real.

Russell Beebe
Life Coach, Counselor, LCMHC, CSAT,
Men often carry pressure silently. When compulsive habits, broken trust, or internal conflict begin to erode confidence, isolation can deepen the problem. This coaching program is designed specifically for men ready to confront destructive patterns, rebuild self-respect, and lead their lives with clarity and strength. Through structured online sessions, clients develop practical tools to create lasting change.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I address men’s issues including mid-life anxiety, perfectionism, unrealistic expectations, feelings of failure, low self-worth, self-acceptance, values towards life decisions, relational issues towards spouse/partner, social skills, anger management, emotional regulation, role specification, fatherhood, meaning/purpose, and identity. Moreover, I am a prior service veteran and I enjoy collaborating with veterans as they transition and adjust to civilian life.

Men's Issues
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.

Men's Issues
Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
In my work, "Men's Issues" are understood to be the work of taking stock of your identity and becoming more responsible for how you are showing up for yourself, friends, family and community. Men have inherited many ideas that limit how we express our myriad feelings and connect with other people authentically. Embracing masculinity means getting to know how gender is a lens through which we are filtering our social experience. Take the powerful step of owning your conscious and unconscious gender beliefs and choose deliberately how you embody these values in the world.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
There is such a range of issues that men experience that can lead to psychological distress. There are pressures that many men experience that may prevent them from leading the full lives that they want, and experiencing some of the relational depth that they crave. Therapy is a wonderful place to address those issues in a supportive and collaborative way.

Men's Issues
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
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 in our journey toward living a fulfilling life.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
It is a very challenging time to be a man, maybe the most challenging time in history. There is no roadmap, and we haven't been encouraged to develop a language to acknowledge our pain and struggle. But we can do that, and find a true foundation of strength that will allow us to go forward with authenticity and self-respect.

Men's Issues
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Many men carry unspoken pressure around emotional expression, sexual performance, provider roles, or vulnerability in relationships. In our work together, we create a space where you can talk honestly about desire, anxiety, anger, emotional disconnection, or the patterns that leave you feeling isolated—without judgment or quick fixes. Drawing on attachment and relational approaches, we explore how to show up more fully in intimacy, communicate needs clearly, and build relationships (and a relationship with yourself) that feel strong, satisfying, and genuinely connected.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in men's issues, I recognize that societal standards and predispositions often lead many men to face mental health challenges in silence, resulting in a range of problems. I offer support in areas particularly relevant to men, such as relationships and dating, confidence, self-expression, and sexual issues including erectile dysfunction, sexual performance anxiety, and sexuality. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We offer a thoughtful, nuanced approach to working with men and issues that often impact their mental health and well-being. We recognize that many men are shaped by cultural expectations around masculinity that can make it difficult to express vulnerability, seek support, or fully engage with their emotional lives. These pressures can contribute to concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, and a sense of isolation or disconnection. Our work with men is grounded in creating a space where openness is welcomed and complexity is respected. We help clients explore how internalized beliefs about masculinity may be influencing their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, while also building skills for emotional awareness, communication, and resilience. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach, we tailor treatment to each individual’s goals and experiences. Whether addressing mental health symptoms, navigating life transitions, or working to build more fulfilling relationships, we aim to support men in developing a more flexible, authentic, and connected way of living.

Men's Issues
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
In many societies and cultures, men have been conditioned to believe that voicing or showing their emotions equates to a lack of control or power. In other words, men have come to expect that when they authentically display their emotions, they must be weak or something must be “wrong.” Largely, this is due to very real social pressures and repercussions where boys, teens, and adult men are shamed by being bullied, targeted, or physically hurt. As such, these instances can lead to some men feeling as though they are less masculline or are not fulfilling their expected gender role. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that the way men operate is inherently different from women, not because of their gender, but because their behaviors are a byproduct of a system that has reinforced oftentimes ineffective and/or damaging strategies of emotional display to combat real or imagined shame (i.e., physical violence, aggression, name-calling, shutting down, etc.). Instead, what we hope to provide at PCT is a new space in which men are able to safely explore themselves without fear of judgment. Thus, leading to the understanding that a man’s emotional responses to internal and external experiences are a human process, not one that is solely based on gender or gender role expectations.
More often than not, when men enter therapy, much of the work centers around learning how and why they learned to cope with difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Most importantly, though, men are given a space to authentically “be” in a way that society does not always permit. They are able to speak without fear of judgment and think with a renowned sense of emotional awareness. It is this process that ultimately brings men the most fulfillment in their relationships. When we teach men that they are allowed to feel and communicate the emotions that are inherent to every human being, we give them the tools to see a world that they did not previously have access to. In other words, therapy gives men the permission to be the fullest version of themselves for themselves and for those around them.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Dr. Jenny Shields isn’t a “men’s therapist.” But a lot of men end up in her office—and stay—because her style just works. She’s direct, honest, and knows how to cut through the noise. No psychobabble. No pressure to bare your soul. Just a steady, grounded space where you can talk things through, figure out what’s not working, and get the kind of support that actually helps.
Many of the men she works with wouldn’t have called themselves “therapy people.” They’re used to solving problems on their own, holding it together, doing what needs to be done. But lately? The stress is constant. The anger shows up out of nowhere. The motivation’s gone. Or maybe life threw something unexpected—a loss, a health scare, a career shift—and suddenly the old ways of coping aren’t cutting it.
Dr. Shields gets it. She blends straight talk with genuine warmth and just the right amount of humor. Her approach is built on trust, practical tools, and real conversation. Using evidence-based therapies like ACT and CBT, she helps men get clear on what matters, get unstuck from what doesn’t, and move forward in a way that feels solid, honest, and fully their own.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you room to breathe—and someone you can trust to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.

Forest Williams
Life Coach, ICF
When I transitioned from female to male, I was shocked at the amount of social privileges I lost. I have deep compassion for men and the social conditioning that impacts their relationships (touch starvation, emotional suppression, etc.) and enjoy holding space for men to heal and grow.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Many men come to therapy not because they’re broken, but because they’re tired of holding everything together alone. Pressure, anger, sexual anxiety, or emotional shutdown can build quietly until connection feels out of reach - with a partner, with purpose, or with self. Therapy offers a space to unpack those patterns without judgment. We look at how early conditioning, attachment, and unspoken expectations shape your relationships and your sense of masculinity. Whether you’re navigating infidelity, intimacy struggles, performance pressure, or emotional distance, the goal is not to change who you are but to expand how you relate - to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in every part of your life. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
