Men's Issues
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.

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.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Many of the men I work with are competent and successful on the outside while carrying something heavier on the inside. Imposter syndrome that no amount of achievement quiets. Anger that surfaces in the wrong places. Pressure to provide that has become a quiet weight. Patterns around emotion that were learned in boyhood and never updated. RTT works directly with the subconscious beliefs that drive these patterns, often laid down decades earlier and still running in the background. The work is practical and direct. You do not need to perform vulnerability or talk for hours. You need to find what is actually running underneath, see it clearly and update it.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many men have been raised to view emotional pain as a sign of weakness and, consequently, have difficulty identifying, expressing, and regulating their emotions. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment in which men can feel safe and supported while processing their emotions and to help reframe being in touch with one's emotions as an indicator of strength and empowerment.

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.

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.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Research shows that men are less likely to seek therapy on their own. Messages like “I should handle this myself” or “therapy is for the weak” often keep men from reaching out—until something in life forces the issue. If you’re looking into therapy on your own, that’s a strong first step.
Many men struggle silently with anger, loneliness, dissatisfaction, sexual concerns, relationship stress, work pressures, body image, or feeling inadequate as a provider. These issues are common—and treatable.
Therapy offers a confidential, non-judgmental space to sort through what’s going on and regain a sense of clarity and control. If you’re ready—or even just considering it—reach out, and we can talk about what you need.
