Men's Issues
Open Pathways Counseling Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Many men face pressure to suppress emotions, carry stress alone, or meet unrealistic expectations. I help clients address concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment while developing healthier coping skills, communication, and emotional resilience.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
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.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Throughout my career, I have found myself to be a good fit for men due to my direct, active engagement and willingness to challenge within sessions. I want men to be able to know and feel their emotions, growing an ability to let themselves touch in to a sensitive side.

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.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I work with cismen, transmen and masc non-binary people to support their work understanding themselves and their relationships. I enjoy creating an open and reflective space for clients to define their version of masculinity. Topic such as cultural expectation, sexual performance issues and sexual history often come up in these conversations.
