David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Therapy can be especially difficult for men to open up to. It can also be difficult to distinguish between toxic and healthy masculinity. 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, as well as a place to gain clarity on what it means to live in the world as a man today.

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.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.
