Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I am keen on working with men navigating stress, identity, emotional expression, relationships, and life transitions. Therapy offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space to develop emotional awareness, strength, and authenticity without pressure to perform or “have it all together.”

Jennifer Nudo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
While not always talked about, new dads are at higher risk for anxiety and depression and often experience changes in their mental health while learning to be a dad. Changes in your partner or relationship after having a baby can be quite confusing and difficult to figure out while also trying to learn to care for a baby. In my practice, I help new dads adjust to parenthood while also caring for their and their partner's needs.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
It is not uncommon for those of us who have been instilled with the expectation that to be vulnerable is, to some degree, a reflection of weakness. However, to be human is to be inherently vulnerable and the best we can do is to accept this within ourselves and others so that we can continue in our journey toward living a fulfilling life.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most men arrive in therapy having spent years inside a definition of masculinity that was never examined — only inherited. The cost shows up as numbness, as rage that finds no proportion, as relationships that stay on the surface because going deeper was never modeled and never permitted. The work is not about dismantling masculinity. It is about distinguishing between what was given to you and what actually belongs to you, so you can begin living from something real.

Edward Alderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC; NCC
I specialize in working with cis male clients. A majority of my clientele identify as cis males. I utilize an integrative approach of CBT, ACT, DBT, and SFBT techniques to help men address the mental health issues that they want and/or need to work on. In my work with men, I work closely with men in addressing mental health issues, relationship and intimacy issues, and social issues. I work from a sociological lens as well and work for male clients to understand how micro and macro social expectations of men and stereotypical gender roles and expectations can impact men's mental health and well-being.

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.

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.

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
