Men’s Issues
Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
Many men are taught to suppress emotions or handle things on their own, which can make it hard to reach out for support. I work with men to create a space where you can show up honestly, process what you’re carrying, and build emotional awareness without judgment.

Men’s Issues
Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many men have not been initiated into what mature masculinity really is. We have learned to carry stress, pressure, and emotion internally, often without a clear space to process it. Whether it’s related to relationships, identity, anger, or feeling stuck, therapy offers a place to step out of that isolation. I run mens groups that are adjacent to my work as a therapist. I care deeply about mens issues. In my practice I work with men to better understand the psychological underpinnings of their masculinity and where that has become obstructed.

Men’s Issues
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I'm good at helping a man gain the insight necessary to grow and broaden his bandwidth of emotional intelligence. I don't think there are bad men. I think many men have been socialized and programmed in such a way that they get a bad rap especially in relationships. Call me and I'll work with you to find ways out of this dark trap of toxic masculinity. Call: 913-991-2302.

Men’s Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with men who are not new to self‑reflection. You may already value therapy, reading, or inner work, and want a place to go deeper and be more fully honest. This might be because stress from a high‑pressure or high‑responsibility career has built up, patterns in relationships keep repeating, or you have reached a point in life where “just pushing through” no longer feels like enough. You might notice burnout, irritability, withdrawal, difficulty talking about certain emotions, or feeling alone even when you are not physically alone.
Some men I work with are navigating ADHD in the workplace and feel misunderstood, disorganized, or constantly behind. Others want deeper friendships or more connection in their relationships but are unsure how to build or maintain that. You may be dating, going through a separation, adjusting to a new stage of parenting, or trying to make sense of old patterns that are resurfacing.
In many cultures, men are encouraged to handle things alone, minimize distress, or turn feelings into action. Over time, this can create pressure, isolation, or a sense of being cut off from yourself, even if things look fine from the outside. In our work together, there is no expectation that you arrive with the right words. We move at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system and your life, and we pay attention to what actually helps you feel clearer, more grounded, and more genuinely yourself in work, friendships, and relationships. You do not have to keep carrying all of this by yourself. I work extensively with men in this position, and I respect the courage it takes to start this conversation.
26 Years Experience
Online in Kansas City, MO Missouri
Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
