Men's Issues
Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
Many men struggle silently with stress, anger, anxiety, or feeling disconnected—but aren’t always sure how to talk about it. I offer a straightforward, supportive space where you don’t have to filter what you’re going through. Whether it’s pressure to perform, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to sort things out, build clarity, and help you show up more fully in your life—on your own terms.

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.

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
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Men are often expected to handle things on their own—to push through, stay quiet, and keep functioning no matter what’s going on underneath. From a young age, many men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, minimize their needs, and equate vulnerability with weakness. That pressure doesn’t just disappear—it shows up as stress, anger, isolation, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself without fully knowing why. And for men navigating cultural, racial, or generational expectations around masculinity, those layers can run even deeper.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t buy into the idea that men need less support—or that the only acceptable emotions are anger or silence. We work with you to understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface and help you build a more honest relationship with yourself. This includes developing emotional awareness, improving communication, navigating relationships more intentionally, and redefining what strength looks like on your terms. We also name the cultural and systemic expectations that shape how men are taught to show up, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is about helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more aligned with who you actually are—not who you’ve been told to be.
