Men’s Issues
Athena McCullough
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LPC, LMFT
Everyday pressures, competing priorities, and high expectations can take a toll on any man. Many men grapple with a sense of self judgment, overwhelm, burnout, guilt and shame, feeling as though they are letting themselves and others down. Struggling with the idea that you are only as good as your last sale, asking “is this all there is?” or questioning your life’s purpose are more than just fleeting thoughts; they are indicators that it’s time to talk to someone.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Men face many challenges in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. Men may also want to avoid feeling like a burden to loved ones, friends, and family. Men can minimize or not recognize their own challenges or difficulties which can result in them bottling up or avoidance. Men are often more likely to externalize emotional pain or mental health issues by showing anger and engaging in high-risk behaviors. All of these factors can negatively impact the mental health and well-being of men. It doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you find better ways to cope with the difficulties in your life.

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.
