Men’s Issues
Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
We explore the archetypal forces shaping unconscious patterns of masculinity. By integrating these energies and spiritual insight, we move beyond societal scripts to find your authentic authority and purpose, fostering a grounded, soulful strength. Masculinity requires integrating the anima, your inner feminine emotional and spiritual depth, bridging the gap between outer achievement and inner needs to overcome isolation. This cultivates balanced power, allowing you to lead and love with presence. We view struggles as spiritual initiations, transmuting outgrown roles into conscious manhood. Through dreamwork and deep inquiry, we navigate the male soul's challenges to retrieve vitality and meaning, resulting in an identity grounded in integrity, resilience, and spiritual purpose.

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.

Josh Stieber
Psychologist, PhD
Being a man brings along many complexities. I work with many men who struggle ways that this part of their identity leads to challenges in their families, jobs, and communities. At various chapters in my life, I've been part of communities that have had very different norms for what is expected of men. If we work together, my focus will be to create a place where you can share whatever struggles you are facing and be met with non-judgment, warmth, and curiosity. You are on a difficult journey and having a therapist to stand beside you can make it an opportunity to learn, grow, and find acceptance along the way.

Men’s Issues
Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Each individual's concept of what it means to be "a man" is informed by norms and expectations impressed upon them by family, society, and their own experience. Challenges can arise when men achieve, fail to achieve, or experience conflict between these internalized standards. I have experience working with men navigating such challenges, which can manifest as symptoms such as low self-worth, loneliness, poor sense of self, unfulfilling relationships, discomfort with emotional expression, and sexual dysfunction.

Men’s Issues
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.
