Men's Issues
Alistair Highet
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.

Men's Issues
Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
Common topics men come to therapy for include navigating relationship dynamics, handling stress, fatherhood and family responsibilities, sexual issues, career pressures, overcoming issues related to emotional repression and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Dr. Kessler helps with communication skills, self-esteem and developing healthier coping mechanisms. A good men’s issues therapist recognizes the importance of a supportive and understanding environment where men can explore and address these issues without judgment, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
When addressing men's issues, Dr. Kessler often addresses concerns like managing societal expectations and stereotypes, dealing with traditional notions of masculinity, and addressing emotional expression and mental health in a way that aligns with their personal identity.

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
I specialize in helping men who are struggling with porn addiction, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and problematic pornography use. If you feel caught in a cycle of pornography, masturbation, sexual fantasy, hookups, infidelity, or other sexual behaviors that feel difficult to control, I can provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space to understand what’s driving the pattern and create lasting change.
My work with men addresses sexual compulsivity, out-of-control sexual behavior, porn addiction, excessive pornography use, compulsive masturbation, infidelity, and unwanted sexual behaviors that are affecting relationships, work, self-esteem, or overall well-being. We’ll look beyond the behavior itself to understand the emotional patterns that can fuel it, including stress, anxiety, loneliness, shame, trauma, and difficulties with intimacy or connection.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and free of judgment. Together, we can work on managing urges, breaking compulsive cycles, developing healthier coping strategies, improving intimacy and relationships, and building a healthier relationship with sexuality.
If you’re searching for help for porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, you don’t have to remain stuck in secrecy and shame. I can help you understand your behavior, regain a sense of control, and move toward the relationships and life you want.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most men arrive in therapy having spent years inside a definition of masculinity that was never examined — only inherited. The cost shows up as numbness, as rage that finds no proportion, as relationships that stay on the surface because going deeper was never modeled and never permitted. The work is not about dismantling masculinity. It is about distinguishing between what was given to you and what actually belongs to you, so you can begin living from something real.

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.
