Men are often educated, from an early age, to hid their emotions, leading to some confusing moments when others in our life expect more from us. We can work on uncovering what limits our range of expression and difficulties with anger and other complicated feelings that may arise.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy is something often uncomfortable for men because the process of therapy differs from the messages received growing up. But bottling up feelings can heighten anger and prevent growth and connection to friends, family, and partners. In the past several years that has also been much push back against prior "norms" that may bring anxiety and uncertainty and even resentment. Adapting to cultural and societal changes happens by being vulnerable - first with yourself.

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.

Deborah Redmond
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
To one degree or another, our problems, concerns, issues, etc. are the result of any number of influences on our life from the moment we are born into this world. Race, gender, cultural environment, etc. each play a part. Men may have particular issues that they authentically face that may require an understanding from "a man's perspective" in order to work through them and grow physically, emotionally, psychologically, and/or spiritually. With over 20 years working with men (and women and couples) and a deep sense of empathy and compassion for human suffering, I can work with you and help you actualize more of the man that you intend to be in your professional and personal lives.

Michael Bernstein
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Traditional masculinity often emphasizes strength and stoicism, but relying on these as a sole identity can lead to isolation, depression, and internal conflict. My practice helps men transcend these rigid expectations by building emotional intelligence, fostering vulnerability for deeper relationships, and challenging the internal dialogue of shame. By moving from reactive anger to a deeper understanding of underlying emotions, men can develop a more authentic and healthy sense of self.
