Men's Issues
Bill Hoekstra
Psychologist, Psy.D., LP DBSM
Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or facing changes in your life? I have over 24 years of experience helping individuals, including men, navigate various challenges impacting their well-being. I specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing life transitions such as adjusting to retirement, career changes, or other significant life events; managing feelings of sadness, anxiety, or low motivation; relationship difficulties; and effective emotional management.
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including CBT, A.R.T., and EMDR, to help develop understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and triggers, equip you with tools to manage challenging situations and emotions effectively, and build healthier relationships
If you're ready to build a more fulfilling and resilient life, contact me today for a free consultation.

Men's Issues
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
I support men in navigating the demands they carry and the expectations they live with, easing distress and strengthening a more grounded way of living. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface, give language to what is hard to carry, and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less isolation and reactivity, more choice and steadiness, and a way of being strong that feels honest and connected.

Men's Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with men who are not new to self‑reflection. You may already value therapy, reading, or inner work, and want a place to go deeper and be more fully honest. This might be because stress from a high‑pressure or high‑responsibility career has built up, patterns in relationships keep repeating, or you have reached a point in life where “just pushing through” no longer feels like enough. You might notice burnout, irritability, withdrawal, difficulty talking about certain emotions, or feeling alone even when you are not physically alone.
Some men I work with are navigating ADHD in the workplace and feel misunderstood, disorganized, or constantly behind. Others want deeper friendships or more connection in their relationships but are unsure how to build or maintain that. You may be dating, going through a separation, adjusting to a new stage of parenting, or trying to make sense of old patterns that are resurfacing.
In many cultures, men are encouraged to handle things alone, minimize distress, or turn feelings into action. Over time, this can create pressure, isolation, or a sense of being cut off from yourself, even if things look fine from the outside. In our work together, there is no expectation that you arrive with the right words. We move at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system and your life, and we pay attention to what actually helps you feel clearer, more grounded, and more genuinely yourself in work, friendships, and relationships. You do not have to keep carrying all of this by yourself. I work extensively with men in this position, and I respect the courage it takes to start this conversation.

Men's Issues
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Men can face distinctive pressures related to emotional expression, self-reliance, achievement, work, providing for others, relationships, sexuality, and expectations about strength or control. Family, culture, community, and gender-role socialization can all influence how men understand themselves, respond to distress, connect with others, and decide when or how to seek support. These experiences may contribute to isolation, self-criticism, difficulty expressing needs, or a sense that self-worth depends on success or usefulness.
Therapy can offer space to explore and cultivate a version of masculinity that reflects your own identities, values, and experiences. There is no single healthy way to be a man; the goal is to help you define and live out a version that feels authentic, positive, and sustainable.
