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.

Psychologist, PsyD
In many societies and cultures, men have been conditioned to believe that voicing or showing their emotions equates to a lack of control or power. In other words, men have come to expect that when they authentically display their emotions, they must be weak or something must be “wrong.” Largely, this is due to very real social pressures and repercussions where boys, teens, and adult men are shamed by being bullied, targeted, or physically hurt. As such, these instances can lead to some men feeling as though they are less masculline or are not fulfilling their expected gender role. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that the way men operate is inherently different from women, not because of their gender, but because their behaviors are a byproduct of a system that has reinforced oftentimes ineffective and/or damaging strategies of emotional display to combat real or imagined shame (i.e., physical violence, aggression, name-calling, shutting down, etc.). Instead, what we hope to provide at PCT is a new space in which men are able to safely explore themselves without fear of judgment. Thus, leading to the understanding that a man’s emotional responses to internal and external experiences are a human process, not one that is solely based on gender or gender role expectations.
More often than not, when men enter therapy, much of the work centers around learning how and why they learned to cope with difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Most importantly, though, men are given a space to authentically “be” in a way that society does not always permit. They are able to speak without fear of judgment and think with a renowned sense of emotional awareness. It is this process that ultimately brings men the most fulfillment in their relationships. When we teach men that they are allowed to feel and communicate the emotions that are inherent to every human being, we give them the tools to see a world that they did not previously have access to. In other words, therapy gives men the permission to be the fullest version of themselves for themselves and for those around them.

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
I specialize in helping men who are struggling with porn addiction, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and problematic pornography use. If you feel caught in a cycle of pornography, masturbation, sexual fantasy, hookups, infidelity, or other sexual behaviors that feel difficult to control, I can provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space to understand what’s driving the pattern and create lasting change.
My work with men addresses sexual compulsivity, out-of-control sexual behavior, porn addiction, excessive pornography use, compulsive masturbation, infidelity, and unwanted sexual behaviors that are affecting relationships, work, self-esteem, or overall well-being. We’ll look beyond the behavior itself to understand the emotional patterns that can fuel it, including stress, anxiety, loneliness, shame, trauma, and difficulties with intimacy or connection.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and free of judgment. Together, we can work on managing urges, breaking compulsive cycles, developing healthier coping strategies, improving intimacy and relationships, and building a healthier relationship with sexuality.
If you’re searching for help for porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, you don’t have to remain stuck in secrecy and shame. I can help you understand your behavior, regain a sense of control, and move toward the relationships and life you want.

Men face unique challenges and pressures in today's world, yet often feel they have nowhere to turn for support. Our therapy services for men provide a judgment-free space to address issues like stress, anger management, relationship difficulties, work-life balance, identity and purpose, depression, anxiety, and the weight of societal expectations around masculinity. We understand that asking for help can feel uncomfortable, especially when you've been taught to "tough it out" or handle everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with career transitions, family conflicts, emotional numbness, or simply feeling lost or overwhelmed, therapy offers practical tools and honest conversations to help you navigate challenges, build healthier relationships, and live a more authentic, fulfilling life. Strength isn't about struggling alone—it's about having the courage to invest in yourself and your wellbeing.

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.
