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.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You were taught to handle things on your own. Push through. Don't complain. Provide. And maybe that worked for a while, but now something's off. The anger that flares too fast. The numbness that's settled in. The sense that you're going through the motions but not really present in your own life. Asking for help can feel like failure when you've been told your whole life that needing help is weakness. It's not. It takes more strength to look at what's not working than to keep pretending everything's fine. We offer a space where you can be honest without judgment. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many men have been raised to view emotional pain as a sign of weakness and, consequently, have difficulty identifying, expressing, and regulating their emotions. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment in which men can feel safe and supported while processing their emotions and to help reframe being in touch with one's emotions as an indicator of strength and empowerment.

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.
