Men’s Issues
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.

Guzel Safina
Therapist, MA, MS, NCC, LMFT
Being a man today comes with unique challenges — balancing work and family, managing stress and anxiety, navigating relationships, coping with societal expectations, dealing with career pressures, and understanding your emotions in a world that often discourages vulnerability. Therapy helps tackle these challenges, build confidence, improve communication, and develop practical strategies to handle life transitions. Together, we create a safe, judgment-free space where you can be honest, gain clarity, and take control of your well-being.

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.

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.

Men’s Issues
LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Men’s Issues & Modern Masculinity: Many men carry the weight of responsibility in silence while struggling internally with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional disconnection, relationship challenges, and the pressure to always be strong, successful, and in control. You may feel exhausted from constantly performing, numb or disconnected from your emotions, or unsure how to express what you actually feel without judgment or conflict.
As a therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help men move beyond survival mode and rigid expectations of masculinity. Together, we explore emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, sexual concerns, stress responses, and the internal beliefs that keep you stuck in overworking, shutting down, or coping alone. You’ll learn how to regulate emotions, communicate more clearly, and reconnect with your body and inner world in a grounded and practical way.
This work is about redefining masculinity into something more whole. Strong enough to feel, grounded enough to stay present, and open enough to build real connection in your relationships, sexuality, and life.

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.
