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.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Many men carry unspoken pressure around emotional expression, sexual performance, provider roles, or vulnerability in relationships. In our work together, we create a space where you can talk honestly about desire, anxiety, anger, emotional disconnection, or the patterns that leave you feeling isolated—without judgment or quick fixes. Drawing on attachment and relational approaches, we explore how to show up more fully in intimacy, communicate needs clearly, and build relationships (and a relationship with yourself) that feel strong, satisfying, and genuinely connected.
