Men’s Issues
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.

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.

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.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
My clientele are both men and women but one of the things that draws male clients to work with me is that I am a man. The helping professions have a disproportionate amount of women practitioners. So, as a male therapist in my 50s I tend to be sought out by men of various ages who wish to address Men's Issues. These issues include men who are becoming more conscious about relating to women in non-oppressive ways, striving to find positive modes of being masculine, figuring out how to relate to other men in less competitive and more supportive ways, fathering, etc. Men feel comfortable addressing these issues with me, and find that I too am thoughtfully engaged in my own healthy male identity development.
