Men's Issues
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Men often experience themselves, the world, and relationships in some fundamentally different ways than women. Moreover, they're often conditioned to ignore their own emotional experiences and needs. This can result in a great deal of distress that often leave men feeling frustrated and confused. I enjoy teaching men concrete skills for better understanding themselves and their needs, and then effectively express those needs in a way that is more likely to get them met.

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.

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. 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.

Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Men often face unique challenges that can impact their mental and emotional well-being, from societal expectations and career pressures to relationship difficulties and struggles with identity. These issues can sometimes be overlooked or misunderstood, leading to feelings of isolation and frustration. It's important to recognize that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you're dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, or navigating complex emotions, specialized support can provide a safe space to explore your experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and empower you to live a more balanced, fulfilling life.
