Men's Issues
Jacob Hamlin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed., LMFT, CST
Many men arrive in therapy feeling pressure to be steady, capable, sexual, successful, emotionally controlled, and relationally available, often all at once. My work with men creates room to examine the hidden weight behind anger, anxiety, disconnection, shame, grief, sexual concerns, identity questions, and relationship struggles. I help men develop a deeper connection with themselves and others without reducing masculinity to performance, toughness, or silence. Therapy can become a place to tell the truth, build emotional clarity, and practice a more grounded way of living.

Men's Issues
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.

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.

Men's Issues
Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
In my work, "Men's Issues" are understood to be the work of taking stock of your identity and becoming more responsible for how you are showing up for yourself, friends, family and community. Men have inherited many ideas that limit how we express our myriad feelings and connect with other people authentically. Embracing masculinity means getting to know how gender is a lens through which we are filtering our social experience. Take the powerful step of owning your conscious and unconscious gender beliefs and choose deliberately how you embody these values in the world.

Men's Issues
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Dr. Jenny Shields isn’t a “men’s therapist.” But a lot of men end up in her office—and stay—because her style just works. She’s direct, honest, and knows how to cut through the noise. No psychobabble. No pressure to bare your soul. Just a steady, grounded space where you can talk things through, figure out what’s not working, and get the kind of support that actually helps.
Many of the men she works with wouldn’t have called themselves “therapy people.” They’re used to solving problems on their own, holding it together, doing what needs to be done. But lately? The stress is constant. The anger shows up out of nowhere. The motivation’s gone. Or maybe life threw something unexpected—a loss, a health scare, a career shift—and suddenly the old ways of coping aren’t cutting it.
Dr. Shields gets it. She blends straight talk with genuine warmth and just the right amount of humor. Her approach is built on trust, practical tools, and real conversation. Using evidence-based therapies like ACT and CBT, she helps men get clear on what matters, get unstuck from what doesn’t, and move forward in a way that feels solid, honest, and fully their own.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you room to breathe—and someone you can trust to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.
