Men's Issues
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Most men are not taught to talk about what they are actually going through. They are taught to manage it, push through it, and figure it out on their own. That works until it does not. And when it stops working, the cost shows up in relationships, at work, in physical health, and in a quiet but persistent sense that something is off.
Men's issues in therapy is not a vague category. It is about the specific ways that stress, identity, emotion, and expectation intersect for men across different stages of life. That includes navigating pressure to perform and provide, struggling with anger or emotional shutdown, working through relationship conflict, managing the weight of fatherhood, facing a career transition or identity shift, or simply feeling disconnected from a version of yourself you used to recognize.
I work with men from adolescence through adulthood and have spent my career building the kind of clinical relationships where honest conversation is actually possible. My approach is direct without being confrontational, and structured without being rigid. I am not interested in telling you how you should feel. I am interested in helping you figure out what is going on, what you want, and what it is going to take to get there.
Therapy for men works best when it is practical, focused, and built on trust. That is what I aim to offer from the first session forward.
If you are ready for a different kind of conversation, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Our culture demands a limited kind of masculinity from men, telling them not to display their tender emotions, not to cry, and not to ask for help. It is important for men to feel their deepest feelings in the safe space therapy can provide.

Men's Issues
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Men often experience themselves, the world, and relationships in some fundamentally different ways than women. Moreover, they're often conditioned to ignore their own emotional experiences and needs. This can result in a great deal of distress that often leave men feeling frustrated and confused. I enjoy teaching men concrete skills for better understanding themselves and their needs, and then effectively express those needs in a way that is more likely to get them met.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in men's issues, I recognize that societal standards and predispositions often lead many men to face mental health challenges in silence, resulting in a range of problems. I offer support in areas particularly relevant to men, such as relationships and dating, confidence, self-expression, and sexual issues including erectile dysfunction, sexual performance anxiety, and sexuality. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual.

Men's Issues
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.
