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.

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.

Men's Issues
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Dr. Jenny Shields isn’t a “men’s therapist.” But a lot of men end up in her office—and stay—because her style just works. She’s direct, honest, and knows how to cut through the noise. No psychobabble. No pressure to bare your soul. Just a steady, grounded space where you can talk things through, figure out what’s not working, and get the kind of support that actually helps.
Many of the men she works with wouldn’t have called themselves “therapy people.” They’re used to solving problems on their own, holding it together, doing what needs to be done. But lately? The stress is constant. The anger shows up out of nowhere. The motivation’s gone. Or maybe life threw something unexpected—a loss, a health scare, a career shift—and suddenly the old ways of coping aren’t cutting it.
Dr. Shields gets it. She blends straight talk with genuine warmth and just the right amount of humor. Her approach is built on trust, practical tools, and real conversation. Using evidence-based therapies like ACT and CBT, she helps men get clear on what matters, get unstuck from what doesn’t, and move forward in a way that feels solid, honest, and fully their own.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you room to breathe—and someone you can trust to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.

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.
