Men's Issues
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
To be a man is to be exposed to perpetual contradiction. So many messages of what a man is, or isn't. Be tough, be gentle, be confident, be humble, take the lead, be a follower... the list goes on and on. Men's issues range the gamut! Let's unlock your true masculine self, the part of you that is graceful, complete, and confident in your power.

Men's Issues
Christopher Schadt
Psychologist, PsyD
We experience unique challenges when it comes to asking for help. Stigma and harmful stereotypes often lead to harmful patterns of coping such as "sucking it up" or "pushing through", which ultimately make the problems worse. Therapy helps to unlearn those harmful patterns so that we can learn how to feel and express a full range of emotions, identify the desire for connection, ask for help and all the stuff that makes you, you! Not just who you were told you could be in order to "be a man." That limited range of what is acceptable for "being a man," often keeps men lonely, depressed and angry. Let's fix that together.

Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in working with men around relationships, anger, confidence, vulnerability, identity, attachment, and the pressures men often carry without having a place to talk about them openly. My work in this area also led me to write Grounded Openness, a book about helping men build stronger relationships, become more emotionally open, and stay grounded in who they are.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I support men in identifying patterns, beliefs, behaviors, "shoulds" and narratives that have contributed to weakened relationships, misplaced anger or loss of joy, feelings of low self-worth, and other challenges. I've helped men cultivate tenderness, foster joy and self-esteem by recovering integrity, matching one's values with actions.
