Men’s Issues
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help men navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career pressure, anger, confidence, and difficulty expressing emotions. Many men are taught to push through problems alone, which can lead to isolation, burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. In therapy, we work on building emotional awareness, improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and handling pressure more effectively. My goal is to help men develop a more grounded, confident, and sustainable way of living.

Men’s Issues
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.

Men’s Issues
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.

Patricia Tuohy
Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
Generally men are socialized to not show emotion and "push on." This does not serve them well as they are human and therefore have and experience all the emotions women feel, but feel they need to internalize them. In many ways men are different from men in how they relate and process things. I enjoy assisting men in finding a new relationship with emotions and learning healthy ways to express them.

Men are inundated with harmful messages about what it means to "be a man". I have significant experience and training addressing men's issues and developing healthier perspectives of masculinity. See website for more information and I would be happy to discuss during a free consultation.
