Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Throughout our lives, we’re always thinking about not being "man enough." What does that even mean? Who sets these standards? Why are they set in stone, and why is the bar set so high that we all feel like we’re falling short? Maybe you need to ventilate, talk things out, brainstorm or even just admit that you don’t always know what to do. Or maybe you simply need to hear that what you’re going through is normal and that there are answers to your questions. Therapy gives you the opportunity to take up some space and talk it out with someone who isn’t going to judge you for it.

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.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist, I understand that men today face a wide range of complex issues, from masculinity and relationships, to work-life balance and emotional expression. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and understand these challenges, and to work towards finding solutions that will improve their well-being.
I specialize in working with men using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of your issues, identify patterns of behavior that may be holding you back, and develop effective strategies to improve your relationships, manage stress, and increase emotional intelligence.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace. I will provide a non-judgmental and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and work through your struggles.

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.
