Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
It is not uncommon for those of us who have been instilled with the expectation that to be vulnerable is, to some degree, a reflection of weakness. However, to be human is to be inherently vulnerable and the best we can do is to accept this within ourselves and others so that we can continue in our journey toward living a fulfilling life.

Integrity Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist
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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with men who are not new to self‑reflection. You may already value therapy, reading, or inner work, and want a place to go deeper and be more fully honest. This might be because stress from a high‑pressure or high‑responsibility career has built up, patterns in relationships keep repeating, or you have reached a point in life where “just pushing through” no longer feels like enough. You might notice burnout, irritability, withdrawal, difficulty talking about certain emotions, or feeling alone even when you are not physically alone.
Some men I work with are navigating ADHD in the workplace and feel misunderstood, disorganized, or constantly behind. Others want deeper friendships or more connection in their relationships but are unsure how to build or maintain that. You may be dating, going through a separation, adjusting to a new stage of parenting, or trying to make sense of old patterns that are resurfacing.
In many cultures, men are encouraged to handle things alone, minimize distress, or turn feelings into action. Over time, this can create pressure, isolation, or a sense of being cut off from yourself, even if things look fine from the outside. In our work together, there is no expectation that you arrive with the right words. We move at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system and your life, and we pay attention to what actually helps you feel clearer, more grounded, and more genuinely yourself in work, friendships, and relationships. You do not have to keep carrying all of this by yourself. I work extensively with men in this position, and I respect the courage it takes to start this conversation.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Since transitioning to an all-telehealth practice, I have found many men struggle to find therapists in their area that feel like a good fit. This may be due to a limited amount of male therapists, cultural stigma about men seeking psychotherapy services, limited training of local clinicians in men's issues, or other barriers. As a result, telehealth has provided a resource for more men to connect with clinicians to address their unique therapeutic and privacy needs. Being a member of PSYPACT, I am able to provide telehealth services to over 40 states. This can be especially valuable to individuals who travel frequently for work or have limited time to travel to and from an office to get the care they deserve.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
I specialize in working with men facing challenges related to identity, pressure, anger, emotional suppression, pornography use, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. Many of the men I work with are capable and driven but stuck in patterns that don’t change through willpower alone. Therapy is direct, structured, and designed for real-world results.
