Men's Issues
Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Men face many challenges in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. Men may also want to avoid feeling like a burden to loved ones, friends, and family. Men can minimize or not recognize their own challenges or difficulties which can result in them bottling up or avoidance. Men are often more likely to externalize emotional pain or mental health issues by showing anger and engaging in high-risk behaviors. All of these factors can negatively impact the mental health and well-being of men. It doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you find better ways to cope with the difficulties in your life.

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.

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Similar to my specializing in relationship counseling, men's issues is also a secondary specialization. There are fewer men than women in my field and similar to relationship stress that follows mental health issues, so do men's issues similarly follow, particularly in young adult men. I didn't intentional specialize here, but I've found it helpful and rewarding.
My work in this area tends to be "socratic." This means I ask you about your relationship with men's issues and to what extent you're satisfied with how things are. If you're not satisfied, I continue asking what you think about it, whether you would prefer change, and if so, how you might achieve that and what might interfere with that goal.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, we recognize that many men are taught to be strong, self-reliant, and in control, often at the expense of their emotional well-being. We create space for men to talk openly about the pressures they face, the emotions they’ve been told to suppress, and the relationships they want to strengthen.
Our work helps men navigate anger, stress, identity, and vulnerability through approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing — always with compassion and cultural understanding. Whether it’s learning to manage emotions, improve communication, or redefine strength, we help men build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
