Men’s Issues therapists in Glennville, Georgia GA
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
More men are turning to therapy. They’re realizing the benefits of having space to connect with their feelings, deepen their relationships, and find greater meaning in life. As they understand themselves better through therapy, many men gain new insights into the ways they were shaped by masculinity, both for good and for ill. Reckoning with how masculine and patriarchal norms have shaped us can help us build on the strengths found in masculinity and reduce the influence of more toxic elements.
I work with male-identified patients of all sexualities and cultural identities. I have particular strengths working with queer men and same-sex male couples. My research and clinical work has focused on the experiences of queer men, especially bisexual men and queer male military Veterans. Some men elect to work specifically on men’s issues from the start of treatment, and others only address issues of masculinity explicitly when relevant in treatment. Regardless, people who struggle with issues related to masculinity would likely benefit from working with a provider specializing in psychotherapy with men.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Men often experience themselves, the world, and relationships in some fundamentally different ways than women. Moreover, they're often conditioned to ignore their own emotional experiences and needs. This can result in a great deal of distress that often leave men feeling frustrated and confused. I enjoy teaching men concrete skills for better understanding themselves and their needs, and then effectively express those needs in a way that is more likely to get them met.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, MDiv, LCMHC, LPC
Men's Issues have been a primary interest of mine since entering the counseling field. Male experiences can be unique and challenging. I enjoy helping clients to figure out a variety of male-related concerns, from male identity to toxic masculinity to sexual performance issues.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Men are often raised in a culture that limits their emotional expression and holds them to specific, limiting standards of masculinity. Anger, feelings of emptiness, difficulty forming or keeping close relationships, and lack of purpose can result from this. We will explore how this has impacted you, and help you find effective ways to communicate your thoughts and feelings to those in your life while working through barriers to growth and change. We will also explore other areas such as parenting, career, and personal development as applicable.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
There is such a range of issues that men experience that can lead to psychological distress. There are pressures that many men experience that may prevent them from leading the full lives that they want, and experiencing some of the relational depth that they crave. Therapy is a wonderful place to address those issues in a supportive and collaborative way.
