This is an area of mine I am particularly passionate about. I have worked with men on issues with anger regulation (both internalized and externalized anger), stress, avoidance, perfectionism, covert incest/emotional enmeshment, relationship issues, gender stereotypes, body image, codependency, sex, and emotional expression.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Being a man myself, I understand a lot of what our gender struggles with. We are always told to be "tough", or "man up". We tend to bottle up our emotions because that is what means to be "manly". It is becoming increasingly difficult for a man to understand what his role is, with the world changing everyday. We can explore that together, and help you work through the stigmas associated with being a man.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Men are at once simpler and more complicated than we seem. We're as bound by gender stereotypes as any other breed of human, but we're often given fewer tools to figure out how to deal with them. Where does the worth and identity of a man come from? What makes him who he is? Are a man's values that much different from someone else's?
As far as I know, there isn't a single spokesman for all of "Manhood," which means we'll have to figure out the answer to these questions together. Let's do it!

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many men grow up believing they should be strong, self-reliant, and able to handle life's challenges on their own. While these messages may encourage resilience, they can also make it difficult to ask for help, express emotions, or seek support during times of stress. Over time, unaddressed emotional struggles can contribute to anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, trauma symptoms, anger, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people who matter most. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a supportive, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment where men can openly explore the challenges they're facing. Whether you're navigating work-related stress, relationship concerns, fatherhood, divorce, grief, trauma, major life transitions, or questions about identity and purpose, therapy offers a space to understand yourself better and develop healthier ways of coping.
Our approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication skills, establish healthy boundaries, and build resilience in both your personal and professional life.
We also have extensive experience supporting men in high-stress careers, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and other helping professions where chronic stress, trauma exposure, and emotional demands can take a significant toll. Therapy can help you process these experiences, reduce the impact of stress, and reconnect with the values that matter most. Seeking therapy isn't a sign of weakness—it's an investment in your health, relationships, and future. With the right support, you can develop greater self-awareness, emotional strength, and confidence while creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Men's Issues
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Men often come to therapy because something has stopped working. A relationship is struggling. Anger is getting harder to control. Work no longer feels satisfying. Anxiety has become constant. They're drinking too much, feeling disconnected, or achieving everything they thought they were supposed to achieve and wondering why they still don't feel particularly good.
Many men have spent a lifetime becoming very good at functioning while remaining disconnected from parts of themselves. We learn early to convert hurt into anger, vulnerability into withdrawal, insecurity into achievement, and fear into control. Being needed, productive, strong, or successful can become much easier than admitting that we're lonely, overwhelmed, ashamed, or unsure of ourselves.
Our approach to men's therapy is direct, practical, and depth-oriented. We use psychodynamic therapy alongside evidence-based approaches to understand the experiences and relationship patterns that shaped you, while also addressing what's happening in your life right now. This may include anxiety, depression, anger, relationships and marriage, fatherhood, career stress and burnout, addiction, intimacy, identity, or major life transitions.
Good therapy for men isn't about making you less masculine or endlessly analyzing your feelings. It's about expanding your range—understanding yourself better, becoming more emotionally capable, improving your relationships, and having greater freedom in how you respond to life.
Strength isn't the absence of vulnerability. Real strength is having access to all of yourself.
