Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Men often learn early in life to organize themselves around competence, independence, and control. While these adaptations can be enormously protective for us, they also making intimacy and vulnerability painfully complicated. In our work, we can become curious about the particular meanings masculinity takes on in your life, rather than assume there is one "right way" to "be a man."

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Therapy can be especially difficult for men to open up to. It can also be difficult to distinguish between toxic and healthy masculinity. Often times the ideals of communication and vulnerability fly in the face of the "idea" of masculinity that society has historically thrust onto men. I understand that. There is no shame in taking care of your mental health. Think of going to therapy as going to the gym of the mind, as well as a place to gain clarity on what it means to live in the world as a man today.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Our culture demands a limited kind of masculinity from men, telling them not to display their tender emotions, not to cry, and not to ask for help. It is important for men to feel their deepest feelings in the safe space therapy can provide.

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.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help men challenge traditional notions of masculinity that may promote emotional suppression, stoicism, and avoidance of help-seeking behaviors. By providing a nonjudgmental and accepting therapeutic environment, I encourage men to explore and embrace a broader range of emotions, express vulnerability, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

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.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
Specializing in therapy for men in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for nearly a decade, I understand the unique challenges men face when seeking mental health support in a culture that often equates vulnerability with weakness. My approach to men's therapy recognizes how traditional masculine norms—the pressure to be providers, stay emotionally stoic, and solve problems independently—can create barriers to healing and authentic connection. Located in West Hollywood, I offer both in-person and online therapy throughout Los Angeles, creating a relaxed, goal-oriented environment where men can safely explore emotions, develop healthier coping strategies beyond anger or substance use, and redefine strength on their own terms. Having worked extensively with male clients from diverse backgrounds, I help men navigate everything from depression and relationship challenges to workplace stress and identity questions, using straightforward communication and action-oriented strategies that resonate with how many men process change. My West Hollywood practice serves as a judgment-free zone where men throughout Los Angeles can finally drop the armor and discover that seeking support is actually one of the strongest decisions they can make.
