Men’s Issues
Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Men are struggling these days. We often are unsure who we are supposed to be. We have a much hard time reaching out for help. Men suffer from a toxic gender norm that dictates they be strong, capable, and not express weakness or vulnerability. Overcoming that norm is one of the key things we do in our work. Helping men get in touch with and expressing their feelings is a powerful experience. I provide both individual and group therapy opportunities for men. There is nothing more inspiring than being in a group of men, holding another man as he weeps or rages.

Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living in a world drowning in toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and hyper-competitive capitalism has done so much damage to our ideas of what it means to be a man in the world today. Let's climb through the shame, anger, frustration, and despair to find a new story of what it means to be a man and how that could change your connections to others.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist, I understand that men today face a wide range of complex issues, from masculinity and relationships, to work-life balance and emotional expression. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and understand these challenges, and to work towards finding solutions that will improve their well-being.
I specialize in working with men using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of your issues, identify patterns of behavior that may be holding you back, and develop effective strategies to improve your relationships, manage stress, and increase emotional intelligence.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace. I will provide a non-judgmental and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and work through your struggles.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As men, we are often taught to white-knuckle it through our problems and "tough it out." In many families, showing emotion is considered "weakness."
While public awareness of mental health is changing, the stigma around feeling persistent sadness or anxiety is a harsh reality for many men. Our therapy is a safe place to share what's going on. There's no judgment here. We will explore your emotions and how to better understand where they come from. Once we have that solid base of understanding, we will find ways to release those feelings in a healthy way.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Men are at once simpler and more complicated than we seem. We're as bound by gender stereotypes as any other breed of human, but we're often given fewer tools to figure out how to deal with them. Where does the worth and identity of a man come from? What makes him who he is? Are a man's values that much different from someone else's?
As far as I know, there isn't a single spokesman for all of "Manhood," which means we'll have to figure out the answer to these questions together. Let's do it!

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a supportive and understanding environment tailored to addressing men's issues, recognizing the unique challenges and societal expectations faced by men today. Through a blend of holistic and psychotherapeutic strategies, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I help men explore and express their emotions, improve communication skills, and navigate personal and professional challenges. This comprehensive approach encourages self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth, allowing men to break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors. By fostering a space for open dialogue and exploration, I aim to support men in developing healthier relationships, achieving life balance, and cultivating a strong sense of self. Whether dealing with stress, relationship issues, identity concerns, or emotional health, I am here to guide men through their journey towards well-being and fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of holistic health and emotional integrity.

Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
When men struggle with their feelings, it can look different. They may hide their thoughts and emotions, reject therapy, socially isolate, and cope using anger -- because, they've been told, that's how a real man does it. Nonsense. While masculinity has some wonderful aspects, others are toxic to a man's mental health and relationships. I help my clients explore these aspects of masculinity and how they may intersect with other problems, like depression, relationships, addiction, and anger.

There are so many things men keep inside. It's time to let it all out. I want to help you find your voice without all of the stereotypes regarding how a man should think, feel, and behave. I want you to be yourself in all areas of your life!

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Throughout our lives, we’re always thinking about not being "man enough." What does that even mean? Who sets these standards? Why are they set in stone, and why is the bar set so high that we all feel like we’re falling short? Maybe you need to ventilate, talk things out, brainstorm or even just admit that you don’t always know what to do. Or maybe you simply need to hear that what you’re going through is normal and that there are answers to your questions. Therapy gives you the opportunity to take up some space and talk it out with someone who isn’t going to judge you for it.
