Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
In my opinion, the therapy space doesn't always honor masculinity in the way that it should. Therapy with me involves preserving your masculinity while directly addressing the things that aren't working for you. My goal is to ensure that you don't stay in therapy indefinitely - and leave feeling empowered and capable of handling whatever comes your way. Let's get to work.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Men often face unique emotional, relational, and life challenges that can feel isolating or difficult to navigate alone. Struggles with anger, addictions, unmet needs, or communication challenges are common and can impact relationships, work, and overall well-being. In therapy, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these experiences, understand their roots, and develop healthier ways to cope and connect. With Christ-centered guidance, men are supported in processing emotions, improving communication, addressing addictive patterns, and embracing their God-given identity and purpose with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional balance.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many men grow up believing they should be strong, self-reliant, and able to handle life's challenges on their own. While these messages may encourage resilience, they can also make it difficult to ask for help, express emotions, or seek support during times of stress. Over time, unaddressed emotional struggles can contribute to anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, trauma symptoms, anger, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people who matter most. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a supportive, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment where men can openly explore the challenges they're facing. Whether you're navigating work-related stress, relationship concerns, fatherhood, divorce, grief, trauma, major life transitions, or questions about identity and purpose, therapy offers a space to understand yourself better and develop healthier ways of coping.
Our approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication skills, establish healthy boundaries, and build resilience in both your personal and professional life.
We also have extensive experience supporting men in high-stress careers, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and other helping professions where chronic stress, trauma exposure, and emotional demands can take a significant toll. Therapy can help you process these experiences, reduce the impact of stress, and reconnect with the values that matter most. Seeking therapy isn't a sign of weakness—it's an investment in your health, relationships, and future. With the right support, you can develop greater self-awareness, emotional strength, and confidence while creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

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.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Men often face pressure to handle things on our own, which can make it harder to talk about stress, emotions, or personal struggles. This can lead to feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck. In therapy we will create a space where you can be open without judgment and work through challenges related to relationships, identity, stress, or expectations. The goal is to help you feel more clear, more grounded, and better equipped to handle what you are facing.

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.

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!

Fullerton is an Orange County city home to California State University Fullerton, one of the largest campuses in the Cal State system, and the city's mental health landscape is anchored by the significant mental health needs of a large, diverse student body that includes a high proportion of first-generation college students from Latino, Asian, and working-class backgrounds. CSUF's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource, and the city's diverse permanent population—with large Latino, Vietnamese, and Korean communities—creates demand for multilingual and culturally competent private therapy. Orange County behavioral health services extend to Fullerton, and the county's strong private therapy sector is accessible to residents across the area. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, first-generation college student challenges, family and intergenerational dynamics, anxiety, and the navigation of multiple cultural identities in a diverse suburban city.
