Men's Issues
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with men navigating the pressures and complexities of the social expectations they often place on themselves. Together, we explore identity, relationships, emotional expression, stress, and life transitions while building healthier coping strategies and self-awareness. My approach provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where men can develop greater emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity in their personal and professional lives.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We offer a thoughtful, nuanced approach to working with men and issues that often impact their mental health and well-being. We recognize that many men are shaped by cultural expectations around masculinity that can make it difficult to express vulnerability, seek support, or fully engage with their emotional lives. These pressures can contribute to concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, and a sense of isolation or disconnection. Our work with men is grounded in creating a space where openness is welcomed and complexity is respected. We help clients explore how internalized beliefs about masculinity may be influencing their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, while also building skills for emotional awareness, communication, and resilience. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach, we tailor treatment to each individual’s goals and experiences. Whether addressing mental health symptoms, navigating life transitions, or working to build more fulfilling relationships, we aim to support men in developing a more flexible, authentic, and connected way of living.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many men, midlife or retirement can bring questions that are hard to talk about—Who am I now? What matters most? What’s next? You may feel pressure to hold it all together, even when something inside feels unsettled, anxious, or off track. Sometimes relationships start to feel strained or distant, or life simply isn’t turning out the way you thought it would. You might notice frustration, disappointment, or a quiet sense of disillusionment creeping in. Therapy can be a space to step back, breathe, and make sense of what’s been happening—without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll look at what’s working, what’s not, and what you want life to look like moving forward. As you begin to attend to your emotional wellbeing, you can find more clarity, steadiness, and direction. Whether you’re navigating changes in career, identity, or relationships—or simply wanting to feel more grounded and content—you can rediscover balance, purpose, and enjoyment in the life you’re living now.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
In many societies and cultures, men have been conditioned to believe that voicing or showing their emotions equates to a lack of control or power. In other words, men have come to expect that when they authentically display their emotions, they must be weak or something must be “wrong.” Largely, this is due to very real social pressures and repercussions where boys, teens, and adult men are shamed by being bullied, targeted, or physically hurt. As such, these instances can lead to some men feeling as though they are less masculline or are not fulfilling their expected gender role. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that the way men operate is inherently different from women, not because of their gender, but because their behaviors are a byproduct of a system that has reinforced oftentimes ineffective and/or damaging strategies of emotional display to combat real or imagined shame (i.e., physical violence, aggression, name-calling, shutting down, etc.). Instead, what we hope to provide at PCT is a new space in which men are able to safely explore themselves without fear of judgment. Thus, leading to the understanding that a man’s emotional responses to internal and external experiences are a human process, not one that is solely based on gender or gender role expectations.
More often than not, when men enter therapy, much of the work centers around learning how and why they learned to cope with difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Most importantly, though, men are given a space to authentically “be” in a way that society does not always permit. They are able to speak without fear of judgment and think with a renowned sense of emotional awareness. It is this process that ultimately brings men the most fulfillment in their relationships. When we teach men that they are allowed to feel and communicate the emotions that are inherent to every human being, we give them the tools to see a world that they did not previously have access to. In other words, therapy gives men the permission to be the fullest version of themselves for themselves and for those around them.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help men navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career pressure, anger, confidence, and difficulty expressing emotions. Many men are taught to push through problems alone, which can lead to isolation, burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. In therapy, we work on building emotional awareness, improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and handling pressure more effectively. My goal is to help men develop a more grounded, confident, and sustainable way of living.
