Jesse R Cardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW
Many men grow up believing they must carry life's burdens alone or hide parts of themselves that feel vulnerable. Therapy offers a place to develop greater emotional freedom, deeper relationships, and a more authentic sense of strength.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Men often face pressure to manage emotions privately or maintain a sense of control, which can make it difficult to seek support. I work with men to better understand their emotional experiences, relationships, and internal expectations. Therapy offers a space to reflect, gain clarity, and develop more authentic and sustainable ways of relating.

Nina Marikian

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.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Men often face pressure to handle things on our own, which can make it harder to talk about stress, emotions, or personal struggles. This can lead to feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck. In therapy we will create a space where you can be open without judgment and work through challenges related to relationships, identity, stress, or expectations. The goal is to help you feel more clear, more grounded, and better equipped to handle what you are facing.

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.

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.

Brett Ryan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
I work with men who are addicted or struggling with porn use. Often times men don't know why they are drawn to using porn. I help them figure out the triggers, create accountability, and abstain from using porn.
