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.

Forest Williams
Life Coach, ICF
When I transitioned from female to male, I was shocked at the amount of social privileges I lost. I have deep compassion for men and the social conditioning that impacts their relationships (touch starvation, emotional suppression, etc.) and enjoy holding space for men to heal and grow.

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Similar to my specializing in relationship counseling, men's issues is also a secondary specialization. There are fewer men than women in my field and similar to relationship stress that follows mental health issues, so do men's issues similarly follow, particularly in young adult men. I didn't intentional specialize here, but I've found it helpful and rewarding.
My work in this area tends to be "socratic." This means I ask you about your relationship with men's issues and to what extent you're satisfied with how things are. If you're not satisfied, I continue asking what you think about it, whether you would prefer change, and if so, how you might achieve that and what might interfere with that goal.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Men's therapy carries a unique set of pressures — performance culture, the isolation that comes with leadership, and environments that reward emotional suppression and punish vulnerability. I work exclusively with high-performing men navigating perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, identity, fatherhood, emotional regulation, and proof-based self-worth through Character Driven Therapy — a framework I developed specifically for this population. This is not generic talk therapy; it is direct, structured, identity-level work built for men who are wired to handle everything alone and are ready to try something different.

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.
