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.

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!

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Traditionally, it is not easy for us men to open up and share, including asking for help. Needless to say, this may be a problem for our partners. Just because we can learn to share thoughts and feelings more appropriately, does not mean we have to do so with the entire world. But the important people in our lives may appreciate this growth

Psychologist, PsyD
I work with a lot of men. Knowing your emotions takes strength and learning to include your emotions into your value-aligned life and relationships takes even more strength. Getting to know your emotions, especially when there is pain involved, often times takes being able to share about them with someone else. Therapy is a relationship that is a safe enough place to begin to know yourself and your emotions better, to help you more actively choose the life you want instead of being compelled by your emotions, whether that is through not knowing them, being overwhelmed, or having them play out in painful, sometimes subtle ways in relationships.

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.
