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
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Dr. Jenny Shields isn’t a “men’s therapist.” But a lot of men end up in her office—and stay—because her style just works. She’s direct, honest, and knows how to cut through the noise. No psychobabble. No pressure to bare your soul. Just a steady, grounded space where you can talk things through, figure out what’s not working, and get the kind of support that actually helps.
Many of the men she works with wouldn’t have called themselves “therapy people.” They’re used to solving problems on their own, holding it together, doing what needs to be done. But lately? The stress is constant. The anger shows up out of nowhere. The motivation’s gone. Or maybe life threw something unexpected—a loss, a health scare, a career shift—and suddenly the old ways of coping aren’t cutting it.
Dr. Shields gets it. She blends straight talk with genuine warmth and just the right amount of humor. Her approach is built on trust, practical tools, and real conversation. Using evidence-based therapies like ACT and CBT, she helps men get clear on what matters, get unstuck from what doesn’t, and move forward in a way that feels solid, honest, and fully their own.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you room to breathe—and someone you can trust to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.

Men's Issues
Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
High-performing men rarely struggle with what they appear to struggle with. The anger, the emotional shutdown, the sabotaged relationships those are symptoms of a deeper identity structure running in the background. I work with men to identify the specific subconscious programming driving these patterns and replace it. Not talk therapy. Not venting. Identity-level reprogramming that changes how you show up in every room.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
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.

The loneliness epidemic facing men in particular is important to address and I’ve been studying it for over 20 years. I offer a safe space to explore emotions and experiences.
