Men’s Issues therapists in Santa Paula, California CA
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As men, we are often taught to white-knuckle it through our problems and "tough it out." In many families, showing emotion is considered "weakness."
While public awareness of mental health is changing, the stigma around feeling persistent sadness or anxiety is a harsh reality for many men. Our therapy is a safe place to share what's going on. There's no judgment here. We will explore your emotions and how to better understand where they come from. Once we have that solid base of understanding, we will find ways to release those feelings in a healthy way.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
My clientele are both men and women but one of the things that draws male clients to work with me is that I am a man. The helping professions have a disproportionate amount of women practitioners. So, as a male therapist in my 50s I tend to be sought out by men of various ages who wish to address Men's Issues. These issues include men who are becoming more conscious about relating to women in non-oppressive ways, striving to find positive modes of being masculine, figuring out how to relate to other men in less competitive and more supportive ways, fathering, etc. Men feel comfortable addressing these issues with me, and find that I too am thoughtfully engaged in my own healthy male identity development.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Male identified people often face a lot of pressures in our society while at the same time not having the emotional outlets that all humans need. I offer a safe space where we can together look at what challenges you face and how to help you connect with your whole self to embody the most authentic version of yourself in life, work, and relationship.
