Men’s Issues therapists in Torrance, California CA
T.J. VanMarter, MA, BCBA, LMFT
Therapist, LMFT, BCBA
It is no secret that many people pick their therapist based on their gender, predominantly because that person will likely be more understanding about their unique challenges. I help men understand their emotions, make more mindful decisions, and shed the stigma of mental health.

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!

Therapy should be a process where you have the right to fully express your true authentic self while rising to your fullest potential.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living in a world drowning in toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and hyper-competitive capitalism has done so much damage to our ideas of what it means to be a man in the world today. Let's climb through the shame, anger, frustration, and despair to find a new story of what it means to be a man and how that could change your connections to others.

Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
When men struggle with their feelings, it can look different. They may hide their thoughts and emotions, reject therapy, socially isolate, and cope using anger -- because, they've been told, that's how a real man does it. Nonsense. While masculinity has some wonderful aspects, others are toxic to a man's mental health and relationships. I help my clients explore these aspects of masculinity and how they may intersect with other problems, like depression, relationships, addiction, and anger.

COPE Psychological Center
Psychologist, PhD
Societal and cultural messages men receive about mental health can be particularly damaging. Learning a strong emotional vocabulary, feel one's feelings, and communicate effectively are some of the most important things that can be done with anyone, but particularly men.

Patrick Kelly, Psy.D., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage, Family, Therapist (LMFT)
Dr. Patrick works with men on issues that are unique to men as we navigate life at this unique time. The goal of our counseling work together will be to assist the client to become a more authentic version of himself as he navigates his life. For many men, going inside to do inner work is a very challenging journey, but once embarked on, many men find the journey an amazing experience as they discover who they are and what they really want from this life.
