Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

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.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Being a man in today’s world isn’t easy. You’re expected to be strong, yet silent — successful, yet never vulnerable. But true strength isn’t about suppressing emotion; it’s about having the courage to face it. Many men carry silent battles — shame, anger, loneliness, or the pressure to perform — without ever feeling truly seen. Healing begins when you stop running from your pain and start reclaiming your purpose. Through truth, forgiveness, and love, you can rediscover your identity, rebuild your confidence, and lead from a place of freedom. You’re not broken — you’re becoming who you were meant to be.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Men are often shaped by rigid gender expectations that limit emotional expression and reinforce harmful power dynamics in relationships. I work with men individually and in couples therapy to examine masculinity, accountability, and relational impact, while building emotional awareness, communication skills, and more equitable ways of relating. This work supports personal growth alongside healthier, more respectful relationships.
