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.

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.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Men face many challenges in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. Men may also want to avoid feeling like a burden to loved ones, friends, and family. Men can minimize or not recognize their own challenges or difficulties which can result in them bottling up or avoidance. Men are often more likely to externalize emotional pain or mental health issues by showing anger and engaging in high-risk behaviors. All of these factors can negatively impact the mental health and well-being of men. It doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you find better ways to cope with the difficulties in your life.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many men struggle with finding a safe place to experience emotion or connect deeply with anyone other than a romantic partner. This can create unnecessary stress on relationships or lead to a sense of isolation. Learning to identify and process emotions in a safe space and build strong, connected relationships can help men find connection and peace in today's difficult world.
