Men's Issues
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
For many complicated reasons cultural, historical and personal reasons, men often have a more difficult time getting into contact with and expressing emotions beyond pride, self-reliance and sometimes anger. Michael creates a space for men to move beyond these blocks, exploring the fuller range of feelings and thoughts below the surface. The therapy relationship can be a safe place for this opening up or unfolding to occur.
With over 35 years of experience, Michael helps men navigate the specific complexities of modern masculinity, including the transition into fatherhood, the weight of professional expectations, and the impact of mid-life transitions. A key area he has worked with men on, which can be rich and rewarding and produce inter-generational change, is the father-son relationship, whatever the age of the father-son dyad. By moving past stoicism, he provides a collaborative environment to address issues like performance anxiety, emotional "numbing," and relational conflict. The goal is to help men build a life that is not just successful on paper, but deeply satisfying and authentic in practice and that holds the full range of emotional experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Every man has issues of all sorts. I help men with any sort of issues whether they are sexual, romantic, psychological, social or anything else. I listen to my clients without judgment and administer hypnotherapy. Men's issues are treatable by hypnotherapy, which is highly effective for addressing stress, anxiety, confidence issues, and performance-related difficulties. By inducing deep relaxation, it helps manage erectile dysfunction, anger management, addiction recovery, and emotional trauma, offering a, "path to healing" according to a Positively Calm article.

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.
