Men's Issues
Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Men need men to talk to. But men do not talk to other men. This is possibly from fathers not talking to sons, or the often acute social anxiety when men speak to each other in ways that make them vulnerable. But in the sanctity of my office, or virtual office, we talk frankly about men. We share stories of challenges, successes and failures. And we do so, without judgment or scorn. And most importantly, as a 50 year old man, I have ground some of the same grist for the mill that you have. I have answers to the things you would be embarrassed to talk with your physician about and I talk about those things in an honest and frank manner. And all without any judgement or scorn. This is a safe place.

Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Men's issues are unique and universal at times. As a male clinician of color I navigate this space and try to use my own lived experiences to assist others so similarly situated to live better and effective lives as men in a complex world that is not always positively-focused on our best lived outcomes

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.

The Well Counseling and Consulting Group
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT, LCSW, PHD
Many men were taught to handle things alone, push through, and keep it moving. That works until it doesn’t. We offer a direct, respectful space for men to talk about stress, anger, relationships, fatherhood, career pressure, and the expectations they’ve been carrying. No lectures and no forced vulnerability. Just honest conversation with clinicians who understand the pressure to perform and the cost of never putting it down. We have a special focus on African American men as well.
