Men's Issues
Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Many men come to therapy not because they’re broken, but because they’re tired of holding everything together alone. Pressure, anger, sexual anxiety, or emotional shutdown can build quietly until connection feels out of reach - with a partner, with purpose, or with self. Therapy offers a space to unpack those patterns without judgment. We look at how early conditioning, attachment, and unspoken expectations shape your relationships and your sense of masculinity. Whether you’re navigating infidelity, intimacy struggles, performance pressure, or emotional distance, the goal is not to change who you are but to expand how you relate - to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in every part of your life. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Judith Rapley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Men, especially men of color, have been ignored, or felt left out of the option of addressing emotional health and the way their mental health needs show up in their lives. I provide a safe space and possibility where they can be free, put down masks and face themselves without fear of danger, external definition or political pressures. We address these realities in their lives also.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Men’s issues often involve unspoken pressures around performance, intimacy, emotional expression, and identity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support men in developing a more coherent and embodied sense of self. This process allows for greater freedom in relationships, sexuality, and emotional life.

Men often face unique challenges that can be difficult to talk about—stress, anger, identity, relationships, or emotional pressure to “stay strong.” I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore these concerns openly and at your own pace.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
Common topics men come to therapy for include navigating relationship dynamics, handling stress, fatherhood and family responsibilities, sexual issues, career pressures, overcoming issues related to emotional repression and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Dr. Kessler helps with communication skills, self-esteem and developing healthier coping mechanisms. A good men’s issues therapist recognizes the importance of a supportive and understanding environment where men can explore and address these issues without judgment, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
When addressing men's issues, Dr. Kessler often addresses concerns like managing societal expectations and stereotypes, dealing with traditional notions of masculinity, and addressing emotional expression and mental health in a way that aligns with their personal identity.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
I work with men trying to find satisfying relationships while navigating the pressures and expectations that can feel overwhelming in our current social and cultural climate, who want to be "good men" but find it hard to let go of harmful messaging about what it means to be a man.
One part of my work with men includes supporting fathers and other non-birth partners in navigating life in the context of the tremendous shift that parenting presents. Many people don’t realize that fathers and non-birth partners and dads can get postpartum depression and anxiety. In fact, 1 in 10 fathers suffers from postpartum depression. This lack of awareness and visibility leads to isolation and loneliness, which creates disconnect in our most important relationships. Mental health is vital to the functioning of a family, and parents of all identities deserve to pursue and get help in improving their mental health. I work with expecting and new parents, whether they gave birth or not, who are struggling with the stress of starting a family, learning how to be a good parent and partner, and who may be experiencing their own perinatal mood or anxiety issues.
