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.

Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Counseling can be a place where men identify their strengths and use these to promote healthy, productive relationships. They can also identify new ways of responding to situations in relation to others. In doing so, they may find others to be more receptive, interested, and engaged.

COPE Psychological Center
Psychologist, PhD
Societal and cultural messages men receive about mental health can be particularly damaging. Learning a strong emotional vocabulary, feel one's feelings, and communicate effectively are some of the most important things that can be done with anyone, but particularly men.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
Being men are more "permitted" by our toxic culture to act out sexually... than to cry, to ask for help, to say "I don't know", to say they are "stuck", or admit defeat, I have many clients appear in sexual misbehavior treatment who seem to have been "acting out" their feelings sexually, under the behavior are feelings that they are not "permitted" by our culture to talk out verbally.
If you would like an insightful and skilled clinician to help you, or your partner, peel the layers of the onion and figure out a way to process the issue and end the acting out of these feeling and have the feelings talked out, then give me a call.
