Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I began my career focusing on the treatment of children and adolescents, but most of my work prior to graduate school focused on assisting boys in therapeutic foster care and other foster care settings. Since becoming a therapist, I've been surprised that everyone just sends me their boys. As a result, my focus over my career has turned more to issues related to boys and men. I am currently expanding my practice to treat more adult men. While I still have openings for children and adolescents, I'm more likely to have openings for adults, as I have a few business hour slots available, prior to 3pm.

Mathews Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMFT, LPC
Every individual is unique with their own story and men face specific issues influencing that story. Men face specific issues related to the job, relationships, emotional congruence, or simply acknowledging and addressing common mental health issues. We want to hear your story and the specific problems you are facing. We want to work alongside, collaborating together to find solutions that work for you. Solutions come easier when we face them together. When we work together we can create a personalized plan for you to reach your goal.

Edmund Buckman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LCAS
I specialize in working with men who often feel pressure to carry emotional pain silently. Whether it's anger, isolation, work stress, or relationship challenges, I offer a space free of judgment where you can speak honestly and begin to understand your inner world. Together, we work on emotional awareness, communication, and self-acceptance.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Many men carry unspoken pressure around emotional expression, sexual performance, provider roles, or vulnerability in relationships. In our work together, we create a space where you can talk honestly about desire, anxiety, anger, emotional disconnection, or the patterns that leave you feeling isolated—without judgment or quick fixes. Drawing on attachment and relational approaches, we explore how to show up more fully in intimacy, communicate needs clearly, and build relationships (and a relationship with yourself) that feel strong, satisfying, and genuinely connected.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Men are often expected to handle things on their own—to push through, stay quiet, and keep functioning no matter what’s going on underneath. From a young age, many men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, minimize their needs, and equate vulnerability with weakness. That pressure doesn’t just disappear—it shows up as stress, anger, isolation, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself without fully knowing why. And for men navigating cultural, racial, or generational expectations around masculinity, those layers can run even deeper.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t buy into the idea that men need less support—or that the only acceptable emotions are anger or silence. We work with you to understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface and help you build a more honest relationship with yourself. This includes developing emotional awareness, improving communication, navigating relationships more intentionally, and redefining what strength looks like on your terms. We also name the cultural and systemic expectations that shape how men are taught to show up, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is about helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more aligned with who you actually are—not who you’ve been told to be.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address men's issues and adopt a comprehensive and faith-based approach that integrates psychological insights with Christian principles. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by men, I create a supportive space to explore issues such as identity, relationships, and purpose through the lens of Christian values. Drawing upon biblical teachings on masculinity, responsibility, and integrity, I help men navigate the complexities of their lives while fostering personal and spiritual growth. Discussions on prayer, scriptural reflection, and reliance on God's guidance are incorporated to provide a foundation for addressing challenges specific to men. This integrated approach aims to support men in finding strength, purpose, and a deeper connection with their faith as they navigate life's journey within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with men who are navigating stress, pressure, relationships, and the expectation to “hold it all together.” Many men have learned to push through, shut things down, or handle challenges on their own—but that often leads to burnout, frustration, or feeling disconnected. My approach is straightforward and practical, focused on helping you better understand your reactions, manage stress, communicate more effectively, and feel more in control of your life. This is a space where you don’t have to have all the answers—you just have to be willing to show up and start.
