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.

Men’s Issues
David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I work with all expressions of gender, men in particular seek me out. I can understand the vulnerability that comes up with first exploring emotions that may have historically been presented to us as a weakness. You can be a strong man while still developing emotional intelligence, at your own pace.

Men’s Issues
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Many men are taught to push through, stay strong, and handle things on their own. But strength doesn’t have to mean silence. As a therapist who works with men’s issues, I provide a grounded, straightforward space where you can speak openly—without judgment, pressure, or expectations about how you “should” feel. Whether you’re navigating stress, anger, relationship challenges, fatherhood, career pressure, identity questions, or feelings that are hard to name, therapy can be a place to unpack what’s underneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may no longer serve you, strengthen emotional awareness, and build practical tools to handle life’s demands with clarity and confidence. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and action-oriented. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable while still challenging you to grow. You don’t have to carry everything alone—and you don’t have to lose your sense of strength to gain support.

Men’s Issues
Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
I work with men navigating emotional expression, intimacy, identity, fatherhood, cultural expectations, and relational challenges — creating space for vulnerability without shame. I love supporting men who may want to explore their relationships to women or their mothers and being able to be a safe person to explore that with honestly and without judgement.
11 Years Experience
Online in San Francisco, CA California (Online Only)
San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
