Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Men face many challenges in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. Men may also want to avoid feeling like a burden to loved ones, friends, and family. Men can minimize or not recognize their own challenges or difficulties which can result in them bottling up or avoidance. Men are often more likely to externalize emotional pain or mental health issues by showing anger and engaging in high-risk behaviors. All of these factors can negatively impact the mental health and well-being of men. It doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you find better ways to cope with the difficulties in your life.

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.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, we recognize that many men are taught to be strong, self-reliant, and in control, often at the expense of their emotional well-being. We create space for men to talk openly about the pressures they face, the emotions they’ve been told to suppress, and the relationships they want to strengthen.
Our work helps men navigate anger, stress, identity, and vulnerability through approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing — always with compassion and cultural understanding. Whether it’s learning to manage emotions, improve communication, or redefine strength, we help men build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Men present to counseling with histories informed by generational messaging, cultural influences, societal expectations, and other, often covert, influences on mental health. Having undergone years of my own counseling and self-understanding of these issues, I am intimately attuned to factors that negatively impact men's access to emotional wellness. I work with many male-identified clients, regardless of orientation, and create a safe environment for men to understand their emotional needs and expression.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Many men grow up receiving messages that make it difficult to acknowledge vulnerability, ask for help, or express emotion openly. Therapy offers a place to explore those expectations with curiosity rather than judgment while considering whether they still fit the life you want to live. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional flexibility, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity. You don't have to choose between being strong and being emotionally honest.
