Men's Issues
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.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
I work with men navigating emotional expression, intimacy, identity, fatherhood, cultural expectations, and relational challenges — creating space for vulnerability without shame. I love supporting men who may want to explore their relationships to women or their mothers and being able to be a safe person to explore that with honestly and without judgement.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Many men are taught to perform strength rather than feel it; to suppress vulnerability, disconnect from emotion, and measure worth through achievement or desirability. Over time, this can show up as burnout, relationship strain, loneliness, anger, or feeling emotionally “stuck.”
No matter how you identify or see the world, therapy can be a place to redefine masculinity on your own terms. We can explore emotional expression, intimacy fears, attachment patterns, body image, sexuality, and the pressure to “have it all together.” My goal is not to dismantle your strength- it’s to expand it, so it includes softness, connection, and depth.

Christopher Schadt
Psychologist, PsyD
We experience unique challenges when it comes to asking for help. Stigma and harmful stereotypes often lead to harmful patterns of coping such as "sucking it up" or "pushing through", which ultimately make the problems worse. Therapy helps to unlearn those harmful patterns so that we can learn how to feel and express a full range of emotions, identify the desire for connection, ask for help and all the stuff that makes you, you! Not just who you were told you could be in order to "be a man." That limited range of what is acceptable for "being a man," often keeps men lonely, depressed and angry. Let's fix that together.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Of all of the issues that confront men, some of the most common are anger and confusion about roles. We can work on accepting the way things are right now. Then, without fighting your demons, we can see how anger and confusion might be your system's way of telling you something that is needed.
