Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
As a pioneer in the pursuit of equality in psychotherapy in the early 1970's, I worked with Dr. Jack Sawyer, one of the founders of the Men's Movement. I came to recognize that indeed there are unique challenges that men face in this society, and since then I been able to help men to deal with these issues successfully in psychotherapy. My free Zoom seminars are helpful to men. Please feel free to call for information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Stigma often prevents men from seeking therapy. I strive to make newcomers to counseling -- and experienced clients, as well -- feel comfortable discussing their life and challenges.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Men's issues must be tailored to each client's unique needs and experiences. Therefore, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I assist men in identifying and challenging harmful thought patterns and behaviors while fostering emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Attachment-based therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore early attachment dynamics and familial influences, empowering men to navigate relationships and societal expectations with authenticity and resilience.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Since transitioning to an all-telehealth practice, I have found many men struggle to find therapists in their area that feel like a good fit. This may be due to a limited amount of male therapists, cultural stigma about men seeking psychotherapy services, limited training of local clinicians in men's issues, or other barriers. As a result, telehealth has provided a resource for more men to connect with clinicians to address their unique therapeutic and privacy needs. Being a member of PSYPACT, I am able to provide telehealth services to over 40 states. This can be especially valuable to individuals who travel frequently for work or have limited time to travel to and from an office to get the care they deserve.

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.

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.
