Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with men who are navigating challenges related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, and sexuality. Many men have learned to manage stress and expectations by staying busy, shutting down emotionally, or handling problems on their own. Over time, this can lead to disconnection, frustration, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work.
In therapy, I offer a space where men can slow down and talk openly about experiences that are often difficult to name. This may include relationship stress, sexual concerns, anger, shame, grief, or questions about purpose and direction. I help men better understand their emotional world, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen communication in their relationships.
The goal of our work is not to change who you are, but to help you build greater self awareness, emotional flexibility, and confidence in how you show up in your life and relationships. Over time, many men find they feel more grounded, connected, and capable of creating the life they want.

As a guy, I know we face unique challenges. For over ten years, I have been helping guys like you break through the barriers that keep you stuck, down, and flat-out stalled. From anxiety, depression, substance use, gaming addiction, pornography addiction, overthinking, and other issues that men face, together we can work to get you feeling better and moving forward.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I support men in identifying patterns, beliefs, behaviors, "shoulds" and narratives that have contributed to weakened relationships, misplaced anger or loss of joy, feelings of low self-worth, and other challenges. I've helped men cultivate tenderness, foster joy and self-esteem by recovering integrity, matching one's values with actions.

Being a man has its own sets of issues. Too manly? Not manly enough? Physical/emotional hurdles? Let's address these issues and work through it together.

Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in working with men around relationships, anger, confidence, vulnerability, identity, attachment, and the pressures men often carry without having a place to talk about them openly. My work in this area also led me to write Grounded Openness, a book about helping men build stronger relationships, become more emotionally open, and stay grounded in who they are.
