Men’s Issues
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.

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.

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.

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.

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
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.

Men’s Issues
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 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

Jeff Fish
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Everyone has strengths—even when life feels stuck or overwhelming. I focus on working with men because I’ve seen how powerful it can be when men are given space to talk, reflect, and build on what’s already working in their lives. From navigating stress, relationships, or big life changes, we’ll focus on your goals and what you want to be different. You don’t have to have it all figured out—we’ll start with where you are, and move toward where you want to be. This is a space where you’re heard, respected, and supported—just as you are.

Men’s Issues
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.
