Men’s Issues
Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living in a world drowning in toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and hyper-competitive capitalism has done so much damage to our ideas of what it means to be a man in the world today. Let's climb through the shame, anger, frustration, and despair to find a new story of what it means to be a man and how that could change your connections to others.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Men are struggling these days. We often are unsure who we are supposed to be. We have a much hard time reaching out for help. Men suffer from a toxic gender norm that dictates they be strong, capable, and not express weakness or vulnerability. Overcoming that norm is one of the key things we do in our work. Helping men get in touch with and expressing their feelings is a powerful experience. I provide both individual and group therapy opportunities for men. There is nothing more inspiring than being in a group of men, holding another man as he weeps or rages.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist, I understand that men today face a wide range of complex issues, from masculinity and relationships, to work-life balance and emotional expression. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and understand these challenges, and to work towards finding solutions that will improve their well-being.
I specialize in working with men using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of your issues, identify patterns of behavior that may be holding you back, and develop effective strategies to improve your relationships, manage stress, and increase emotional intelligence.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace. I will provide a non-judgmental and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and work through your struggles.

Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Counseling can be a place where men identify their strengths and use these to promote healthy, productive relationships. They can also identify new ways of responding to situations in relation to others. In doing so, they may find others to be more receptive, interested, and engaged.

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.
