Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Society often tells men to “tough it out,” leaving struggles buried and isolated. I provide a space to explore identity, emotions, and pressures, helping men live authentically, express themselves fully, and navigate life with strength and emotional insight.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
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.

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.

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.
