Men's Issues
Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We offer a thoughtful, nuanced approach to working with men and issues that often impact their mental health and well-being. We recognize that many men are shaped by cultural expectations around masculinity that can make it difficult to express vulnerability, seek support, or fully engage with their emotional lives. These pressures can contribute to concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, and a sense of isolation or disconnection. Our work with men is grounded in creating a space where openness is welcomed and complexity is respected. We help clients explore how internalized beliefs about masculinity may be influencing their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, while also building skills for emotional awareness, communication, and resilience. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach, we tailor treatment to each individual’s goals and experiences. Whether addressing mental health symptoms, navigating life transitions, or working to build more fulfilling relationships, we aim to support men in developing a more flexible, authentic, and connected way of living.

Men's Issues
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.

Steven Merino
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
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. My approach is respectful, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs, helping you gain insight, build healthier coping tools, and move toward greater balance, confidence, and fulfillment.

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.

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.
