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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help men navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career pressure, anger, confidence, and difficulty expressing emotions. Many men are taught to push through problems alone, which can lead to isolation, burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. In therapy, we work on building emotional awareness, improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and handling pressure more effectively. My goal is to help men develop a more grounded, confident, and sustainable way of living.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Half of my practice is with male clients and many of the issues they come to me for might be characterized as "male" issues. I do a lot of work around male sexual concerns such as Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, and other sexual issues. According to research as much as 70% of these issues are the result of anxiety, emotional issues, mental blocks rather than physical problems. Many of my clients have been to doctors and therapists, or different types of alternative practitioners without getting relief. I can usually resolve their issue in one or two sessions. I also work with many men who struggle with relationship problems, emotional issues with their partners, loss and grief stemming from a breakup or death.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

Forest Williams
Life Coach, ICF
When I transitioned from female to male, I was shocked at the amount of social privileges I lost. I have deep compassion for men and the social conditioning that impacts their relationships (touch starvation, emotional suppression, etc.) and enjoy holding space for men to heal and grow.
