Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Relational Psychoanalyst, LCSW, Psychotherapist
Men often learn early in life to organize themselves around competence, independence, and control. While these adaptations can be enormously protective for us, they also making intimacy and vulnerability painfully complicated. In our work, we can become curious about the particular meanings masculinity takes on in your life, rather than assume there is one "right way" to "be a man."

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.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Our culture demands a limited kind of masculinity from men, telling them not to display their tender emotions, not to cry, and not to ask for help. It is important for men to feel their deepest feelings in the safe space therapy can provide.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
Specializing in therapy for men in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for nearly a decade, I understand the unique challenges men face when seeking mental health support in a culture that often equates vulnerability with weakness. My approach to men's therapy recognizes how traditional masculine norms—the pressure to be providers, stay emotionally stoic, and solve problems independently—can create barriers to healing and authentic connection. Located in West Hollywood, I offer both in-person and online therapy throughout Los Angeles, creating a relaxed, goal-oriented environment where men can safely explore emotions, develop healthier coping strategies beyond anger or substance use, and redefine strength on their own terms. Having worked extensively with male clients from diverse backgrounds, I help men navigate everything from depression and relationship challenges to workplace stress and identity questions, using straightforward communication and action-oriented strategies that resonate with how many men process change. My West Hollywood practice serves as a judgment-free zone where men throughout Los Angeles can finally drop the armor and discover that seeking support is actually one of the strongest decisions they can make.

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.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help men challenge traditional notions of masculinity that may promote emotional suppression, stoicism, and avoidance of help-seeking behaviors. By providing a nonjudgmental and accepting therapeutic environment, I encourage men to explore and embrace a broader range of emotions, express vulnerability, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Santa Clarita is a large suburban city north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley — one of the primary bedroom communities for the entertainment industry, with a significant population of production workers, crew members, and support staff whose careers are tied to the cycles of film and television production. The city's family-oriented, relatively conservative character contrasts with the precarious employment reality of many of its entertainment-connected residents, and therapists frequently address creative career anxiety, the boom-bust psychology of production employment, and the identity challenges of supporting roles in an industry that prizes visibility. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Santa Clarita's suburban sprawl and car-dependent layout contribute to social isolation themes that therapists encounter frequently.
