Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
Many men are taught to suppress emotions or handle things on their own, which can make it hard to reach out for support. I work with men to create a space where you can show up honestly, process what you’re carrying, and build emotional awareness without judgment.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Men are often educated, from an early age, to hid their emotions, leading to some confusing moments when others in our life expect more from us. We can work on uncovering what limits our range of expression and difficulties with anger and other complicated feelings that may arise.

Starlain Saldana

Throughout my career, I have found myself to be a good fit for men due to my direct, active engagement and willingness to challenge within sessions. I want men to be able to know and feel their emotions, growing an ability to let themselves touch in to a sensitive side.

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.

Men often carry pressure silently. When compulsive habits, broken trust, or internal conflict begin to erode confidence, isolation can deepen the problem. This coaching program is designed specifically for men ready to confront destructive patterns, rebuild self-respect, and lead their lives with clarity and strength. Through structured online sessions, clients develop practical tools to create lasting change.

Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
You’ve been told to be strong, to keep it together—but at what cost? Maybe you feel the pressure to handle everything alone, bury your stress, or push through emotions instead of dealing with them. You might struggle with anger, disconnection, or the weight of expectations that never let up. Whether it’s relationship struggles, anxiety, self-doubt, or past wounds that still linger, you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Therapy isn’t about weakness—it’s about gaining the tools to show up fully in your life, on your own terms. Let’s work through it together.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I work with cismen, transmen and masc non-binary people to support their work understanding themselves and their relationships. I enjoy creating an open and reflective space for clients to define their version of masculinity. Topic such as cultural expectation, sexual performance issues and sexual history often come up in these conversations.

Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
Men are often taught that struggle is weakness and that asking for help means something is wrong with them. By the time many men find their way to therapy, they have been white-knuckling it for a long time, managing stress, suppressing emotion, and carrying more than anyone around them knows. This is a space where that changes. No judgment, no pressure to have it together, no expectation that you should already know how to talk about this stuff. Just honest, real, effective work with someone who is genuinely in your corner.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many men have not been initiated into what mature masculinity really is. We have learned to carry stress, pressure, and emotion internally, often without a clear space to process it. Whether it’s related to relationships, identity, anger, or feeling stuck, therapy offers a place to step out of that isolation. I run mens groups that are adjacent to my work as a therapist. I care deeply about mens issues. In my practice I work with men to better understand the psychological underpinnings of their masculinity and where that has become obstructed.

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. 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.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many men, midlife or retirement can bring questions that are hard to talk about—Who am I now? What matters most? What’s next? You may feel pressure to hold it all together, even when something inside feels unsettled, anxious, or off track. Sometimes relationships start to feel strained or distant, or life simply isn’t turning out the way you thought it would. You might notice frustration, disappointment, or a quiet sense of disillusionment creeping in. Therapy can be a space to step back, breathe, and make sense of what’s been happening—without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll look at what’s working, what’s not, and what you want life to look like moving forward. As you begin to attend to your emotional wellbeing, you can find more clarity, steadiness, and direction. Whether you’re navigating changes in career, identity, or relationships—or simply wanting to feel more grounded and content—you can rediscover balance, purpose, and enjoyment in the life you’re living now.
