Men’s Issues therapists in Salinas, California CA
Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I run an inclusive, Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed group for male-identified survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault that supports growth, healing, and recovery in community with other survivors. Men often fear stigmatization and are reluctant to talk about past abuse experiences and sexual trauma with healthcare providers and supports, leaving them isolated and alone to carry the burden of what happened to them. This group was created for men to come together in solidarity and experience the truth; they are not alone in their survival. All men and gender non-conforming folx are welcome. I work with all genders of survivors in individual treatment as well.

Patrick Kelly, Psy.D., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage, Family, Therapist (LMFT)
Dr. Patrick works with men on issues that are unique to men as we navigate life at this unique time. The goal of our counseling work together will be to assist the client to become a more authentic version of himself as he navigates his life. For many men, going inside to do inner work is a very challenging journey, but once embarked on, many men find the journey an amazing experience as they discover who they are and what they really want from this life.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Male identified people often face a lot of pressures in our society while at the same time not having the emotional outlets that all humans need. I offer a safe space where we can together look at what challenges you face and how to help you connect with your whole self to embody the most authentic version of yourself in life, work, and relationship.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
My clientele are both men and women but one of the things that draws male clients to work with me is that I am a man. The helping professions have a disproportionate amount of women practitioners. So, as a male therapist in my 50s I tend to be sought out by men of various ages who wish to address Men's Issues. These issues include men who are becoming more conscious about relating to women in non-oppressive ways, striving to find positive modes of being masculine, figuring out how to relate to other men in less competitive and more supportive ways, fathering, etc. Men feel comfortable addressing these issues with me, and find that I too am thoughtfully engaged in my own healthy male identity development.
