Men's Issues
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
In many societies and cultures, men have been conditioned to believe that voicing or showing their emotions equates to a lack of control or power. In other words, men have come to expect that when they authentically display their emotions, they must be weak or something must be “wrong.” Largely, this is due to very real social pressures and repercussions where boys, teens, and adult men are shamed by being bullied, targeted, or physically hurt. As such, these instances can lead to some men feeling as though they are less masculline or are not fulfilling their expected gender role. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that the way men operate is inherently different from women, not because of their gender, but because their behaviors are a byproduct of a system that has reinforced oftentimes ineffective and/or damaging strategies of emotional display to combat real or imagined shame (i.e., physical violence, aggression, name-calling, shutting down, etc.). Instead, what we hope to provide at PCT is a new space in which men are able to safely explore themselves without fear of judgment. Thus, leading to the understanding that a man’s emotional responses to internal and external experiences are a human process, not one that is solely based on gender or gender role expectations.
More often than not, when men enter therapy, much of the work centers around learning how and why they learned to cope with difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Most importantly, though, men are given a space to authentically “be” in a way that society does not always permit. They are able to speak without fear of judgment and think with a renowned sense of emotional awareness. It is this process that ultimately brings men the most fulfillment in their relationships. When we teach men that they are allowed to feel and communicate the emotions that are inherent to every human being, we give them the tools to see a world that they did not previously have access to. In other words, therapy gives men the permission to be the fullest version of themselves for themselves and for those around them.

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.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Men are often raised in a culture that limits their emotional expression and holds them to specific, limiting standards of masculinity. Anger, feelings of emptiness, difficulty forming or keeping close relationships, and lack of purpose can result from this. We will explore how this has impacted you, and help you find effective ways to communicate your thoughts and feelings to those in your life while working through barriers to growth and change. We will also explore other areas such as parenting, career, and personal development as applicable.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I'm good at helping a man gain the insight necessary to grow and broaden his bandwidth of emotional intelligence. I don't think there are bad men. I think many men have been socialized and programmed in such a way that they get a bad rap especially in relationships. Call me and I'll work with you to find ways out of this dark trap of toxic masculinity. Call: 913-991-2302.
