Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In addressing men's issues, I provide a supportive and understanding space to explore the challenges and concerns unique to men. Through therapy, we examine various aspects such as societal expectations, gender roles, relationships, mental health, and identity. I offer strategies to help men navigate issues such as stress, anger, depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. Additionally, we explore ways to promote emotional expression, build resilience, and foster healthier coping mechanisms. The goal is to empower men to prioritize their mental health and well-being, develop a more authentic sense of self, and lead fulfilling lives.

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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Men often come to therapy carrying pressures that feel hard to name—expectations to be strong, self-reliant, and in control, even when things feel anything but. In our work, we create space to explore what’s underneath: stress, anger, disconnection, questions about identity, relationships, or purpose. Together, we’ll make sense of these experiences at your pace, helping you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and more flexibility in how you respond—so you can feel more grounded, connected, and authentic in your life.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
High-performing men rarely struggle with what they appear to struggle with. The anger, the emotional shutdown, the sabotaged relationships those are symptoms of a deeper identity structure running in the background. I work with men to identify the specific subconscious programming driving these patterns and replace it. Not talk therapy. Not venting. Identity-level reprogramming that changes how you show up in every room.
