Men's Issues
Jesse R Cardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW
Many men grow up believing they must carry life's burdens alone or hide parts of themselves that feel vulnerable. Therapy offers a place to develop greater emotional freedom, deeper relationships, and a more authentic sense of strength.

Men's Issues
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Men often come to therapy because something has stopped working. A relationship is struggling. Anger is getting harder to control. Work no longer feels satisfying. Anxiety has become constant. They're drinking too much, feeling disconnected, or achieving everything they thought they were supposed to achieve and wondering why they still don't feel particularly good.
Many men have spent a lifetime becoming very good at functioning while remaining disconnected from parts of themselves. We learn early to convert hurt into anger, vulnerability into withdrawal, insecurity into achievement, and fear into control. Being needed, productive, strong, or successful can become much easier than admitting that we're lonely, overwhelmed, ashamed, or unsure of ourselves.
Our approach to men's therapy is direct, practical, and depth-oriented. We use psychodynamic therapy alongside evidence-based approaches to understand the experiences and relationship patterns that shaped you, while also addressing what's happening in your life right now. This may include anxiety, depression, anger, relationships and marriage, fatherhood, career stress and burnout, addiction, intimacy, identity, or major life transitions.
Good therapy for men isn't about making you less masculine or endlessly analyzing your feelings. It's about expanding your range—understanding yourself better, becoming more emotionally capable, improving your relationships, and having greater freedom in how you respond to life.
Strength isn't the absence of vulnerability. Real strength is having access to all of yourself.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Society often tells men to “tough it out,” leaving struggles buried and isolated. I provide a space to explore identity, emotions, and pressures, helping men live authentically, express themselves fully, and navigate life with strength and emotional insight.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Men often face pressure to manage emotions privately or maintain a sense of control, which can make it difficult to seek support. I work with men to better understand their emotional experiences, relationships, and internal expectations. Therapy offers a space to reflect, gain clarity, and develop more authentic and sustainable ways of relating.

This is an area of mine I am particularly passionate about. I have worked with men on issues with anger regulation (both internalized and externalized anger), stress, avoidance, perfectionism, covert incest/emotional enmeshment, relationship issues, gender stereotypes, body image, codependency, sex, and emotional expression.

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.
