Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Being a male myself, I'm very aware of issues around sexuality and masculinity. Often us men are taught to hide our vulnerable emotions such as hurt or sadness and instead express anger and lash out impulsively. We also have challenges with Intimacy and affection including sexual issues. Sometimes we're numbing or pushing away emotions. I help men deal with those issues and help them get on track with their feelings and emotions.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with men navigating challenges related to identity, stress, relationships, and emotional expression. Many clients experience pressure to meet personal, professional, or societal expectations while struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulty communicating feelings. My approach provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these challenges, develop emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Research shows that men are less likely to seek therapy on their own. Messages like “I should handle this myself” or “therapy is for the weak” often keep men from reaching out—until something in life forces the issue. If you’re looking into therapy on your own, that’s a strong first step.
Many men struggle silently with anger, loneliness, dissatisfaction, sexual concerns, relationship stress, work pressures, body image, or feeling inadequate as a provider. These issues are common—and treatable.
Therapy offers a confidential, non-judgmental space to sort through what’s going on and regain a sense of clarity and control. If you’re ready—or even just considering it—reach out, and we can talk about what you need.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
