This is an area of mine I am particularly passionate about.

Therapy should be a process where you have the right to fully express your true authentic self while rising to your fullest potential.

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!

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Being a man myself, I understand a lot of what our gender struggles with. We are always told to be "tough", or "man up". We tend to bottle up our emotions because that is what means to be "manly". It is becoming increasingly difficult for a man to understand what his role is, with the world changing everyday. We can explore that together, and help you work through the stigmas associated with being a man.

Patrick Kelly, Psy.D., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage, Family, Therapist (LMFT)
Dr. Patrick works with men on issues that are unique to men as we navigate life at this unique time. The goal of our counseling work together will be to assist the client to become a more authentic version of himself as he navigates his life. For many men, going inside to do inner work is a very challenging journey, but once embarked on, many men find the journey an amazing experience as they discover who they are and what they really want from this 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.

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.

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.
