Men’s Issues therapists in Oreland, Pennsylvania PA

There is such a range of issues that men experience that can lead to psychological distress. There are pressures that many men experience that may prevent them from leading the full lives that they want, and experiencing some of the relational depth that they crave. Therapy is a wonderful place to address those issues in a supportive and collaborative way.  

Varun has a deep passion and extensive experience in working with a variety of men's issues and has in the past held exclusive Men's psycho-educational and process groups.  

Guys are in a weird spot right now - raised by (typically) emotionally shut-down fathers, wanting to learn emotional intelligence, wondering how it fits in with their image of "masculinity", not wanting to be disrespectful of women, curious about sexuality, it's a lot to think about! We work on developing a personalized understanding of what it means to be a man based on each clients' individuality, beliefs, and values. Also, highly recommend the book "STRONG" by Kristal DeSantis.  

There aren't many places where men can be themselves, where they can suspend shame when they feel vulnerable, or where they can examine their masculine identity without judgment. My male clients find that our sessions are a space where caring feminine energy holds their pain and and supports their healing while challenging stagnation and lack of accountability.  

We recognize that men are often socialized differently than females. As such, social pressures need to be considered and taken into account when helping male clients process their thoughts and feelings regarding their lives.  

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.  

PhilaTherapy, LLC acknowledges that different genders experience different challenges. PhilaTherapy, LLC. offers psychotherapy, from some our trained clinicians, to identify and process issues and concerns that our male clients maybe experiencing.  

In today's society, we hear a lot about women's issues. While this is important, we often forget that men have their unique issues that they struggle with. This can include relationships, career, fatherhood, self-esteem, addictions, etc. Our therapists can help men work through these issues to resolve them and live happier lives.  

Men often struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationships, pornography, etc. Unfortunately many are unable to find the help needed to overcome these issues. As a male therapist, I am able to create a safe environment where men are truly understood and can work on overcoming painful issues.
