Men's Issues
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include men’s issues, masculinity and identity support, stress and emotional regulation, relationship challenges, fatherhood, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ on challenges commonly experienced by men, including navigating identity, emotional expression, relationship difficulties, stress, and life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling pressure to “handle it all” or struggle with societal expectations around masculinity, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, or disconnection. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and nonjudgmental, helping clients explore their emotions, build healthier coping strategies, and strengthen relationships. Therapy is a safe space to develop self-awareness, resilience, and confidence while living a life aligned with your values and strengths.

Men's Issues
Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
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.

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.

There can be so many societal pressures, expectations, and messages about what it means to be a man, or about what you should or should not do. In our work together, we can walk through the current stressors in your life and the areas you may be feeling stuck, while gaining understanding of the pressures that surround you. Our sessions contain a mixture of insight-building and strategy development to help you get to where you wish to be.

Men's Issues
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Many men grow up receiving messages that make it difficult to acknowledge vulnerability, ask for help, or express emotion openly. Therapy offers a place to explore those expectations with curiosity rather than judgment while considering whether they still fit the life you want to live. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional flexibility, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity. You don't have to choose between being strong and being emotionally honest.
