Men's Issues
Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Men are often conditioned to push through rather than slow down, and therapy can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable at first. I work with men in a space that's straightforward, honest, and genuinely curious about what's going on beneath the surface. You don't have to have the right words. Showing up is enough.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
What does it mean to be a man in today's society and your culture? How is that image impacting your relationships (even the one with yourself)? Being a man has an inherent set of complications and pressures, which can effect your emotional well-being. If you are finding yourself being more angry, more sad, more lonely, and/or more stress, we address the underlying pressures you are facing and start to change the internal conversation to help you tap into your strengths.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Men often carry stress silently, feeling pressure to figure things out alone. I offer a space where men can talk openly without judgment — about relationships, fatherhood, work, sex, or identity — and find healthier ways to handle the weight they carry.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with men who are navigating challenges related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, and sexuality. Many men have learned to manage stress and expectations by staying busy, shutting down emotionally, or handling problems on their own. Over time, this can lead to disconnection, frustration, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work.
In therapy, I offer a space where men can slow down and talk openly about experiences that are often difficult to name. This may include relationship stress, sexual concerns, anger, shame, grief, or questions about purpose and direction. I help men better understand their emotional world, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen communication in their relationships.
The goal of our work is not to change who you are, but to help you build greater self awareness, emotional flexibility, and confidence in how you show up in your life and relationships. Over time, many men find they feel more grounded, connected, and capable of creating the life they want.
