Men’s Issues, Leadership & Mid-Life Mastery
Grounded Psychological Care for High-Achieving Men
While the mental health field is predominantly female-led, the majority of my practice today—roughly three-quarters—consists of high-achieving, middle-aged men, tech founders, executives, and professionals. Many present after feeling disconnected from prior "standard" therapy, looking instead for a grounded, direct, and sophisticated male clinician who understands their world.
My work with men is not a recent pivot; it is built on decades of intensive clinical depth. My background spans the full spectrum of male psychology—from my early work with incarcerated adolescent capital offenders in Texas and my clinical residency at the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital, to leading specialized domestic violence rehabilitation programs and guiding corporate leaders. This deep foundation allows me to meet men wherever they are with unwavering composure, clinical precision, and zero judgment.
Navigating the Modern Male Experience
Today's high-functioning men face a unique set of internal and external pressures. We live in an era where traditional models of masculinity are shifting, leaving many men searching for a clear, authentic blueprint for their lives, careers, and relationships.
Our work creates a high-trust environment to address the core dimensions of healthy male development:
Shifting from Competition to Connection: Learning to relate to other men, colleagues, and peers in ways that foster genuine support and collaboration rather than perpetual, isolating competition.
Modern Masculinity & Relating to Women: Cultivating ways of being powerful, grounded, and emotionally present without relying on outdated, dominant, or emotionally reactive habits.
Fatherhood & Legacy: Navigating the profound shifts of fatherhood, co-parenting, and raising adolescents, ensuring you pass down emotional resilience and presence to the next generation.
Mid-Life Recalibration & Burnout: Addressing the quiet crisis that often arrives in a man's 40s or 50s—where outward career success no longer yields internal fulfillment, prompting a need to redefine purpose, health, and personal alignment.
A High-Resonance, "Vibe-Aligned" Approach
Men often tell me that working together feels less like traditional "medicalized" therapy and more like an intellectual, strategic, and deeply resonant partnership.
Rather than forcing you into rigid emotional protocols, we speak the same language: strategic problem-solving, nervous system optimization, and honest self-analysis. By blending doctoral-level psychological rigor with real-world male experience, our work provides a powerful, confidential sounding board to help you quiet internal noise, master high-stakes pressure, and step into the most authentic version of your life.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Men are struggling these days. We often are unsure who we are supposed to be. We have a much hard time reaching out for help. Men suffer from a toxic gender norm that dictates they be strong, capable, and not express weakness or vulnerability. Overcoming that norm is one of the key things we do in our work. Helping men get in touch with and expressing their feelings is a powerful experience. I provide both individual and group therapy opportunities for men. There is nothing more inspiring than being in a group of men, holding another man as he weeps or rages.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
Feminism missed the mark on encouraging men to live fully in their traditionally "feminine" energy. Being shamed for having strong emotions and feelings is something that every man has to deal with. Men need and crave emotional intimacy too. Its hard to do in a society that doesn't support it. I'll show you how being sensitive is the best thing you can do for yourself and the world.

Men face their own issues which affect them in their own way. To be able to understand and be with them with their issues and move forward to help them is what will make a difference in their lives. How men are int he world is different than women and their issues must be addressed according to their goals and beliefs.
