Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
It is a very challenging time to be a man, maybe the most challenging time in history. There is no roadmap, and we haven't been encouraged to develop a language to acknowledge our pain and struggle. But we can do that, and find a true foundation of strength that will allow us to go forward with authenticity and self-respect.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for men’s issues, including stress, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, emotional disconnection, low motivation, identity concerns, and difficulty navigating life transitions, work pressures, and family responsibilities. Many men seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, isolated, or unsure how to manage emotions while maintaining healthy relationships and a strong sense of self.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to men’s mental health, helping clients develop emotional awareness, resilience, and healthier coping strategies without judgment. Therapy provides a private, respectful space where men can openly address personal struggles, relationship challenges, past experiences, and emotional patterns that may be impacting their well-being.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process unresolved trauma, reduce emotional reactivity, and build healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. The focus is on creating lasting emotional stability, improved communication, and stronger personal and relational functioning.
Brad understands that many men feel pressure to “handle things alone” or suppress emotions, which can lead to increased stress, disconnection, or unhealthy coping patterns over time. Therapy offers a different path—one that supports emotional strength, clarity, and growth while maintaining a grounded and practical approach to real-life challenges.
Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to each client’s needs and goals. No topic is off limits, and clients are encouraged to explore whatever is impacting their emotional health, relationships, or sense of purpose.
The goal is to help men build healthier relationships, stronger emotional regulation, and a more balanced and fulfilling life rooted in authenticity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Since transitioning to an all-telehealth practice, I have found many men struggle to find therapists in their area that feel like a good fit. This may be due to a limited amount of male therapists, cultural stigma about men seeking psychotherapy services, limited training of local clinicians in men's issues, or other barriers. As a result, telehealth has provided a resource for more men to connect with clinicians to address their unique therapeutic and privacy needs. Being a member of PSYPACT, I am able to provide telehealth services to over 40 states. This can be especially valuable to individuals who travel frequently for work or have limited time to travel to and from an office to get the care they deserve.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I'm good at helping a man gain the insight necessary to grow and broaden his bandwidth of emotional intelligence. I don't think there are bad men. I think many men have been socialized and programmed in such a way that they get a bad rap especially in relationships. Call me and I'll work with you to find ways out of this dark trap of toxic masculinity. Call: 913-991-2302.
