Men's Issues
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with men navigating the pressures and complexities of the social expectations they often place on themselves. Together, we explore identity, relationships, emotional expression, stress, and life transitions while building healthier coping strategies and self-awareness. My approach provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where men can develop greater emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity in their personal and professional lives.

Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be used to keeping things to yourself, pushing through, staying strong, and doing what’s expected, even when things feel... off. Maybe you’re carrying stress, anger, or sadness that doesn’t have a place to go. Or maybe you're just feeling disconnected. Disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or the life you thought you'd be living by now. Whatever brought you here, you’re probably ready for something to change. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

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.
