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.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Men face many challenges in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. Men may also want to avoid feeling like a burden to loved ones, friends, and family. Men can minimize or not recognize their own challenges or difficulties which can result in them bottling up or avoidance. Men are often more likely to externalize emotional pain or mental health issues by showing anger and engaging in high-risk behaviors. All of these factors can negatively impact the mental health and well-being of men. It doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you find better ways to cope with the difficulties in your life.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for men’s issues, including stress, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, emotional disconnection, low motivation, identity concerns, and difficulty navigating life transitions, work pressures, and family responsibilities. Many men seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, isolated, or unsure how to manage emotions while maintaining healthy relationships and a strong sense of self.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to men’s mental health, helping clients develop emotional awareness, resilience, and healthier coping strategies without judgment. Therapy provides a private, respectful space where men can openly address personal struggles, relationship challenges, past experiences, and emotional patterns that may be impacting their well-being.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process unresolved trauma, reduce emotional reactivity, and build healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. The focus is on creating lasting emotional stability, improved communication, and stronger personal and relational functioning.
Brad understands that many men feel pressure to “handle things alone” or suppress emotions, which can lead to increased stress, disconnection, or unhealthy coping patterns over time. Therapy offers a different path—one that supports emotional strength, clarity, and growth while maintaining a grounded and practical approach to real-life challenges.
Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to each client’s needs and goals. No topic is off limits, and clients are encouraged to explore whatever is impacting their emotional health, relationships, or sense of purpose.
The goal is to help men build healthier relationships, stronger emotional regulation, and a more balanced and fulfilling life rooted in authenticity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
High-performing men rarely struggle with what they appear to struggle with. The anger, the emotional shutdown, the sabotaged relationships those are symptoms of a deeper identity structure running in the background. I work with men to identify the specific subconscious programming driving these patterns and replace it. Not talk therapy. Not venting. Identity-level reprogramming that changes how you show up in every room.

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.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I joined a men’s group in 2002, and my life has never been the same. Until then, I’d never thought much about how hard it is for men to seek help – and how men struggle unnecessarily as a result.
American society teaches men that they should be able to figure things out on their own, that they should keep things to themselves, and they should “tough it out” when things are hard. Most men only have a friend or two who they might be able to talk with about “real” issues, and that lack of social connection is tragic.
Seeking help doesn’t mean a man is weak – it means he’s smart. It means he’s stopped buying into the B.S. that making more money and owning shinier stuff and looking cool and having the right relationship is going to solve his problems and make him happy. In other words, he’s getting real.
My therapeutic approach is more about action than talk. Yes, I need to know the experiences that formed you, and clients usually find me to be a non-judgmental listener who makes it safe to unburden themselves. But I want to start empowering you quickly, with tools for mind, body, and spirit that are known for their efficiency and effectiveness.
So, whether you’ve never sought coaching or therapy, or have found traditional talk therapy to be less than you want, I think you’ll find a conversation with me a good place to start.
