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.

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.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Men often carry stress silently, feeling pressure to figure things out alone. I offer a space where men can talk openly without judgment — about relationships, fatherhood, work, sex, or identity — and find healthier ways to handle the weight they carry.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
What does it mean to be a man in today's society and your culture? How is that image impacting your relationships (even the one with yourself)? Being a man has an inherent set of complications and pressures, which can effect your emotional well-being. If you are finding yourself being more angry, more sad, more lonely, and/or more stress, we address the underlying pressures you are facing and start to change the internal conversation to help you tap into your strengths.
