Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In addressing men's issues, I provide a supportive and understanding space to explore the challenges and concerns unique to men. Through therapy, we examine various aspects such as societal expectations, gender roles, relationships, mental health, and identity. I offer strategies to help men navigate issues such as stress, anger, depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. Additionally, we explore ways to promote emotional expression, build resilience, and foster healthier coping mechanisms. The goal is to empower men to prioritize their mental health and well-being, develop a more authentic sense of self, and lead fulfilling lives.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You were taught to handle things on your own. Push through. Don't complain. Provide. And maybe that worked for a while, but now something's off. The anger that flares too fast. The numbness that's settled in. The sense that you're going through the motions but not really present in your own life. Asking for help can feel like failure when you've been told your whole life that needing help is weakness. It's not. It takes more strength to look at what's not working than to keep pretending everything's fine. We offer a space where you can be honest without judgment. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, we recognize that many men are taught to be strong, self-reliant, and in control, often at the expense of their emotional well-being. We create space for men to talk openly about the pressures they face, the emotions they’ve been told to suppress, and the relationships they want to strengthen.
Our work helps men navigate anger, stress, identity, and vulnerability through approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing — always with compassion and cultural understanding. Whether it’s learning to manage emotions, improve communication, or redefine strength, we help men build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Being a man in today’s world isn’t easy. You’re expected to be strong, yet silent — successful, yet never vulnerable. But true strength isn’t about suppressing emotion; it’s about having the courage to face it. Many men carry silent battles — shame, anger, loneliness, or the pressure to perform — without ever feeling truly seen. Healing begins when you stop running from your pain and start reclaiming your purpose. Through truth, forgiveness, and love, you can rediscover your identity, rebuild your confidence, and lead from a place of freedom. You’re not broken — you’re becoming who you were meant to be.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Men are often shaped by rigid gender expectations that limit emotional expression and reinforce harmful power dynamics in relationships. I work with men individually and in couples therapy to examine masculinity, accountability, and relational impact, while building emotional awareness, communication skills, and more equitable ways of relating. This work supports personal growth alongside healthier, more respectful relationships.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
There can be so many societal pressures, expectations, and messages about what it means to be a man, or about what you should or should not do. In our work together, we can walk through the current stressors in your life and the areas you may be feeling stuck, while gaining understanding of the pressures that surround you. Our sessions contain a mixture of insight-building and strategy development to help you get to where you wish to be.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Men need men to talk to. But men do not talk to other men. This is possibly from fathers not talking to sons, or the often acute social anxiety when men speak to each other in ways that make them vulnerable. But in the sanctity of my office, or virtual office, we talk frankly about men. We share stories of challenges, successes and failures. And we do so, without judgment or scorn. And most importantly, as a 50 year old man, I have ground some of the same grist for the mill that you have. I have answers to the things you would be embarrassed to talk with your physician about and I talk about those things in an honest and frank manner. And all without any judgement or scorn. This is a safe place.

The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Men often face unique pressures to be strong, self-reliant, and emotionally reserved, making it difficult to ask for help when life becomes overwhelming. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where men can openly address challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, work-related pressures, fatherhood, life transitions, and questions of identity and purpose. From an Adlerian perspective, counseling focuses on encouragement, resilience, and developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. My goal is to help you move beyond simply coping with life's demands toward living with greater confidence, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of meaning and direction.

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. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I support men in navigating the demands they carry and the expectations they live with, easing distress and strengthening a more grounded way of living. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface, give language to what is hard to carry, and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less isolation and reactivity, more choice and steadiness, and a way of being strong that feels honest and connected.

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.
