Men's Issues
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.

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.

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.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
Unfortunately, men aren't socialized to see therapy and I respect that you're online look at options. I specialize in helping men to gradually open about vulnerable concerns in their lives, be it relationship and communication difficulties, erectile dysfunction, or feelings of inadequacy. I also try to take a solution-focused approach, so we can wind down sessions with clear skills to practice to help you feel more confident in the process. Call me for a free phone consultation so that we can decide if I'm the right fit for you!
