David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
As men, our culture tells us:
Push your emotions down.
Don’t show anything that might indicate you’re not 100% straight.
Be the breadwinner. Go out and earn money.
Your partner will raise your kids while you work.
Repeat the cycle the next day…
Next week…
Next year…
As a result, many men end up:
Living in your head instead of in your body.
In a job you don’t like, even if you’re making money.
Feel disconnected from your partner and disconnected from your kids.
You’ll have checked the boxes but you won’t feel fulfilled.
You might even feel aimless and purposeless.
You’ll feel disconnected from yourself.
But there’s a part of you that knows there’s more.
So How Can You Feel Fulfilled?
The key is to reconnect to yourself.
Your body. Your emotions. Your intuition.
When you can draw on your body, emotions, and intuition as well as you’re mind…
You’ll make richer, healthier, more fulfilling decisions…
Because they’re more informed decisions.
Rather than living up in your head you become a more whole version of yourself.
You’ll be able to show up more fully for yourself.
Show up more fully for your partner and your kids.
And engage with life from a place of raw vitality, excitement, curiosity, and playfulness.
You’ll be able to tap into your unique gifts and offer those to others.
You’ll know your strengths and act from there.
You’ll find your center, your ground and sit in that stability.
Your partner will feel more connected with you.
You’ll be able to see, hear and understand your partner more fully because you’re more connected to yourself.
You’ll be able to tap into masculine archetypes to draw on examples of healthy masculinity and embody those in your own life so can come from an aligned place of healthy power and well-being.

Chris Davis
Counselor/Therapist, M.A.
Many men become skilled at functioning while having much less opportunity to understand what is happening internally. Emotions may show up indirectly through anger, withdrawal, relationship conflict, overwork, anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from life. I help men develop a more direct relationship with their emotional experience without asking them to become someone they are not. The goal is greater awareness, stronger relationships, and more freedom in how they respond to the things that matter to them.

Lance Kair
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, LPC
Many men reach out for therapy when they recognize that, despite meeting their responsibilities and appearing successful on the outside, they feel disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. They may be struggling with stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, loneliness, or a loss of purpose and direction.
Lance provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can step away from the pressure to always have it together and explore what is happening beneath the surface. His approach helps men better understand the emotional, relational, and physical experiences that may be contributing to their current challenges.
Drawing from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Lance works with the whole person, not just symptoms. He helps clients develop awareness of patterns that may be keeping them stuck, understand how stress and past experiences are affecting their lives, and build a stronger connection to themselves, their values, and the people who matter most.
Therapy with Lance is a collaborative process that balances support with practical guidance. His goal is to help men develop greater clarity, emotional resilience, and confidence so they can navigate life's challenges with intention and create a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and authentic.

Benediction Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC

Our therapists provide a supportive space to explore stress, relationships, identity, fatherhood, career pressures, emotional wellbeing, and mental health without judgment. Therapy can help you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and live with greater authenticity.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Cultural and familial messages often leave men with strict rules for the role they need to play in business, relationship, love, and life. Examples of this include caretaker, the man of the house, dominant, "strong", no emotion, breadwinner, protector - the list goes on and on. Combined with these roles is an early learning process where they learn how to squash or bottle their emotional experiences, leaving them with less self-connection and lack of tools to initiate closeness (vulnerability and intimacy). Here, at Denver Wellness Counseling we address a variety of men's issues, including: difficulty recognizing and responding to emotions; sexual fears or problems, overwhelm with responsibilities, shame about not meeting responsibilities or underperforming, anger and irritability, and deprograming themes of toxic masculinity. In our practice, over the last 10 years, we have seen a shift where more and more men are prioritizing their wellness, reducing the stigma of counseling, and now make up approximately 50% of our practice.

Glenn Permar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Many men I work with aren’t in crisis; they’re just carrying a lot. Pressure to perform at work, show up in relationships, and stay steady can leave little room to process what’s underneath. Over time, that endurance can lead to tension, irritability, emotional distance, or burnout. I work with men who want a steady, direct space to sort through stress, identity, relationships, and expectations without performance. Our work focuses on clarity, regulation, and building patterns that support confidence and connection rather than constant internal pressure.

Melissa Clark with Fire and Reins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support men who are navigating challenges related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, anger, anxiety, and major life transitions. Many men I work with are seeking a space where they can step out of pressure, isolation, or old conditioning around how they “should” show up, and instead explore what it means to be more grounded, connected, and authentic.
In our work, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, understanding relational patterns, and building the capacity to stay present with difficult internal experiences without shutting down or reacting impulsively. This often includes working with anger, stress, or disconnection in a way that leads to more clarity and intentionality rather than avoidance or overwhelm.
This is a supportive but direct process aimed at helping you build a more integrated sense of self—one that can hold both strength and emotional depth in your relationships and your life.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
