Men’s Issues
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.

As a licensed therapist specializing in men's mental health, I have dedicated my professional life to helping men navigate through various life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, career concerns, and issues surrounding masculinity. I believe in the importance of mental wellness and emotional self-awareness, and I understand the unique societal pressures and expectations that many men face. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where men can express themselves openly, build resilience, and explore effective strategies for personal growth and improved mental health. My therapeutic approach is centered around empathy, compassion, and individualized care, as I firmly believe in each person's capacity to heal, change, and grow. Let's work together to build the strength, courage, and tools necessary for a more fulfilling, balanced life.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Therapy can be especially difficult for men to open up to. Often times the ideals of communication and vulnerability fly in the face of the "idea" of masculinity that society has historically thrust onto men. I understand that. There is no shame in taking care of your mental health. Think of going to therapy as going to the gym of the mind.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with a lot of men. Knowing your emotions takes strength and learning to include your emotions into your value-aligned life and relationships takes even more strength. Getting to know your emotions, especially when there is pain involved, often times takes being able to share about them with someone else. Therapy is a relationship that is a safe enough place to begin to know yourself and your emotions better, to help you more actively choose the life you want instead of being compelled by your emotions, whether that is through not knowing them, being overwhelmed, or having them play out in painful, sometimes subtle ways in relationships.
