Men’s Issues
Coalesce Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Men are facing the challenges of a shifting landscape regarding what masculinity is, how to become emotionally attuned, and navigating romantic relationships. At the core of these is emotional intelligence, and many men were raised to avoid feeling. Together we can learn the purpose of our emotional experience and how to respond rather than avoid and suppress, leading to a richer lived experience.

Men’s Issues
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.

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.

Men’s Issues
Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
In many high-pressure professions, the traditional standard for men’s issues is to remain stoic, silent, and self-reliant, regardless of the cost. This "armor" is often necessary for the job, but it can become a barrier to genuine connection and mental clarity in your personal life. Having served in the National Guard and worked as an EMT, I understand the unique pressure men feel to be the provider and the protector while suppressing their own exhaustion or anxiety. My approach is direct and collaborative, providing a space where we skip the fluff and get to the root of the challenges you’re facing. We work to refine your strengths so that you can lead and serve effectively without losing your sense of self or your relationships in the process.

Dr. Mike 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.
