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.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We offer a thoughtful, nuanced approach to working with men and issues that often impact their mental health and well-being. We recognize that many men are shaped by cultural expectations around masculinity that can make it difficult to express vulnerability, seek support, or fully engage with their emotional lives. These pressures can contribute to concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, and a sense of isolation or disconnection. Our work with men is grounded in creating a space where openness is welcomed and complexity is respected. We help clients explore how internalized beliefs about masculinity may be influencing their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, while also building skills for emotional awareness, communication, and resilience. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach, we tailor treatment to each individual’s goals and experiences. Whether addressing mental health symptoms, navigating life transitions, or working to build more fulfilling relationships, we aim to support men in developing a more flexible, authentic, and connected way of living.

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

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
There is such a range of issues that men experience that can lead to psychological distress. There are pressures that many men experience that may prevent them from leading the full lives that they want, and experiencing some of the relational depth that they crave. Therapy is a wonderful place to address those issues in a supportive and collaborative way.

Psychologist, PhD, JD
Similar to my specializing in relationship counseling, men's issues is also a secondary specialization. There are fewer men than women in my field and similar to relationship stress that follows mental health issues, so do men's issues similarly follow, particularly in young adult men. I didn't intentional specialize here, but I've found it helpful and rewarding.
My work in this area tends to be "socratic." This means I ask you about your relationship with men's issues and to what extent you're satisfied with how things are. If you're not satisfied, I continue asking what you think about it, whether you would prefer change, and if so, how you might achieve that and what might interfere with that goal.
