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.

The key to the closeness men need in their relationships is the capacity for vulnerability. Explore this gently and discover the strength of tenderness

Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
In my work, "Men's Issues" are understood to be the work of taking stock of your identity and becoming more responsible for how you are showing up for yourself, friends, family and community. Men have inherited many ideas that limit how we express our myriad feelings and connect with other people authentically. Embracing masculinity means getting to know how gender is a lens through which we are filtering our social experience. Take the powerful step of owning your conscious and unconscious gender beliefs and choose deliberately how you embody these values in the world.

Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Growing up as boys and men in our culture, we're often told that we're weak if we can't figure something out for ourselves. I honor the courage it takes to reach out for help--you're not alone in feeling isolated.

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.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
I work with men navigating shifting expectations—at work, in relationships, and in how they understand strength, responsibility, and connection in a changing culture. For many, this shows up as stress, anxiety, irritability, shutdown, self-doubt, or a sense of drifting from purpose. Our work focuses on meeting this moment from a place of steadiness and self-respect—so you can respond from your values rather than from cultural scripts.
Together, we build emotional resilience and practical skills for communication, boundaries, and self-trust. We do this to help you access a stronger, more flexible version of yourself: grounded under pressure, clear in your values, and capable of real intimacy and leadership in your life.

Weston Pew
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCPC
Men today find themselves in a liminal space where traditional ideas of masculinity no longer resonate, leading to feelings of confusion, isolation, and frustration. The outdated expectations of strength, stoicism, and self-reliance often fail to capture the complexities of modern life, contributing to mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, with many men reluctant to seek help. My holistic approach to men's work integrates Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Inquiry, and Spiritual/Existential Inquiry to help men explore, heal, and redefine their masculinity. This journey allows for a deeper understanding of internal conflicts, emotional resilience, and a more authentic connection to self and others. Through this work, men can reclaim their identity, break free from limiting beliefs, and cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling expression of manhood. Start your journey today by booking a free consultation.

Umbrella Therapy - Andrew Baker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Unpacking the Blueprint
We will explore the "why" behind your reactions by looking at:
Cultural Expectations: The "strong, silent" scripts that often leave men without the tools to process complex pain.
Historical Roots: How your childhood experiences and the men who came before you shaped your view of success, failure, and vulnerability.
Building Resilience
Understanding the past is the foundation, but building a future is the goal. We will focus on:
Processing the Blow: Developing a healthy vocabulary for frustration and grief so they don't turn into burnout or isolation.
Persisting through Complications: Creating a personalized strategy to regain your confidence and move forward with purpose, even when the path ahead looks different than you planned.
Strength isn't about how much you can carry; it’s about knowing when it’s time to put the weight down and fix the harness.
