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.

Integrity Counseling Services

In today's society, we hear a lot about women's issues. While this is important, we often forget that men have their unique issues that they struggle with. This can include relationships, career, fatherhood, self-esteem, addictions, etc. Our therapists can help men work through these issues to resolve them and live happier lives.

I specialize in working with men facing challenges related to identity, pressure, anger, emotional suppression, pornography use, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. Many of the men I work with are capable and driven but stuck in patterns that don’t change through willpower alone. Therapy is direct, structured, and designed for real-world results.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Our culture demands a limited kind of masculinity from men, telling them not to display their tender emotions, not to cry, and not to ask for help. It is important for men to feel their deepest feelings in the safe space therapy can provide.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy is something often uncomfortable for men because the process of therapy differs from the messages received growing up. But bottling up feelings can heighten anger and prevent growth and connection to friends, family, and partners. In the past several years that has also been much push back against prior "norms" that may bring anxiety and uncertainty and even resentment. Adapting to cultural and societal changes happens by being vulnerable - first with yourself.

Men often face unique challenges that can impact their mental and emotional well-being, from societal expectations and career pressures to relationship difficulties and struggles with identity.

Congruent Relationships Counseling & Wellness

Traditional expectations of masculinity often leave men feeling like they have to choose between being "strong" and being "real." At Congruent Relationships, we provide a space where you can trade the exhaustion of "holding it all together" for the clarity of genuine self-awareness. Whether you are navigating the pressures of fatherhood, career stress, or the isolation that often comes with modern manhood, we help you build a version of masculinity that is rooted in congruence rather than performance.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for men's issues, also known as men's counseling or male-focused therapy, is a specialized form of counseling that addresses the challenges and concerns unique to males. It provides men a secure and supportive environment to investigate their emotions, develop coping skills, and manage personal and interpersonal issues.
Counseling for men's issues acknowledges the unique social and cultural expectations that men may face. It aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for men to explore their concerns and emotions. The therapeutic approach will hinge on the individual's particular requirements and objectives.
Men pursuing therapy must find a therapist who understands and respects their experiences and is adept at addressing men's concerns. Reaching out to a qualified mental health professional with experience working with men's issues can be an essential step toward personal development and well-being if you are experiencing difficulties and could benefit from professional assistance.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Many men come to therapy not because they’re broken, but because they’re tired of holding everything together alone. Pressure, anger, sexual anxiety, or emotional shutdown can build quietly until connection feels out of reach - with a partner, with purpose, or with self. Therapy offers a space to unpack those patterns without judgment. We look at how early conditioning, attachment, and unspoken expectations shape your relationships and your sense of masculinity. Whether you’re navigating infidelity, intimacy struggles, performance pressure, or emotional distance, the goal is not to change who you are but to expand how you relate - to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in every part of your life. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

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.

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.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We support men navigating the unique emotional, relational, and societal pressures that can impact mental health, identity, and well-being. Many men face stress from work, family expectations, cultural norms, and experiences of trauma or systemic marginalization—but often struggle to find spaces where vulnerability is safe and respected.
Our trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach helps men explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflicts, fatherhood, life transitions, and identity development. Therapy focuses on strengthening emotional awareness, resilience, communication, and self-expression—without judgment or pressure to fit a narrow definition of masculinity.
Men’s issues counseling at Full Being Services creates a supportive space for growth, healing, and self-discovery, helping men reconnect with purpose, authenticity, and a sense of balance in their lives.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most men arrive in therapy having spent years inside a definition of masculinity that was never examined — only inherited. The cost shows up as numbness, as rage that finds no proportion, as relationships that stay on the surface because going deeper was never modeled and never permitted. The work is not about dismantling masculinity. It is about distinguishing between what was given to you and what actually belongs to you, so you can begin living from something real.

Michael Bernstein
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Traditional masculinity often emphasizes strength and stoicism, but relying on these as a sole identity can lead to isolation, depression, and internal conflict. My practice helps men transcend these rigid expectations by building emotional intelligence, fostering vulnerability for deeper relationships, and challenging the internal dialogue of shame. By moving from reactive anger to a deeper understanding of underlying emotions, men can develop a more authentic and healthy sense of self.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
