Men’s Issues
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
More men are turning to therapy. They’re realizing the benefits of having space to connect with their feelings, deepen their relationships, and find greater meaning in life. As they understand themselves better through therapy, many men gain new insights into the ways they were shaped by masculinity, both for good and for ill. Reckoning with how masculine and patriarchal norms have shaped us can help us build on the strengths found in masculinity and reduce the influence of more toxic elements.
I work with male-identified patients of all sexualities and cultural identities. I have particular strengths working with queer men and same-sex male couples. My research and clinical work has focused on the experiences of queer men, especially bisexual men and queer male military Veterans. Some men elect to work specifically on men’s issues from the start of treatment, and others only address issues of masculinity explicitly when relevant in treatment. Regardless, people who struggle with issues related to masculinity would likely benefit from working with a provider specializing in psychotherapy with men.

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.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I joined a men’s group in 2002, and my life has never been the same. Until then, I’d never thought much about how hard it is for men to seek help – and how men struggle unnecessarily as a result.
American society teaches men that they should be able to figure things out on their own, that they should keep things to themselves, and they should “tough it out” when things are hard. Most men only have a friend or two who they might be able to talk with about “real” issues, and that lack of social connection is tragic.
Seeking help doesn’t mean a man is weak – it means he’s smart. It means he’s stopped buying into the B.S. that making more money and owning shinier stuff and looking cool and having the right relationship is going to solve his problems and make him happy. In other words, he’s getting real.
My therapeutic approach is more about action than talk. Yes, I need to know the experiences that formed you, and clients usually find me to be a non-judgmental listener who makes it safe to unburden themselves. But I want to start empowering you quickly, with tools for mind, body, and spirit that are known for their efficiency and effectiveness.
So, whether you’ve never sought coaching or therapy, or have found traditional talk therapy to be less than you want, I think you’ll find a conversation with me a good place to start.
