Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Therapist, Betrayal Trauma Therapist & Coach, Sex & Porn Addiction Therapist & Coach. Visit my website 👇
I specialize in helping men who are struggling with porn addiction, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and problematic pornography use. If you feel caught in a cycle of pornography, masturbation, sexual fantasy, hookups, infidelity, or other sexual behaviors that feel difficult to control, I can provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space to understand what’s driving the pattern and create lasting change.
My work with men addresses sexual compulsivity, out-of-control sexual behavior, porn addiction, excessive pornography use, compulsive masturbation, infidelity, and unwanted sexual behaviors that are affecting relationships, work, self-esteem, or overall well-being. We’ll look beyond the behavior itself to understand the emotional patterns that can fuel it, including stress, anxiety, loneliness, shame, trauma, and difficulties with intimacy or connection.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and free of judgment. Together, we can work on managing urges, breaking compulsive cycles, developing healthier coping strategies, improving intimacy and relationships, and building a healthier relationship with sexuality.
If you’re searching for help for porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, you don’t have to remain stuck in secrecy and shame. I can help you understand your behavior, regain a sense of control, and move toward the relationships and life you want.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Many men come to therapy when something in their life no longer feels sustainable—whether it is a relationship that is struggling, a divorce or separation, pressure at work, parenting challenges, anxiety, anger, loneliness, or simply a growing sense that something needs to change.
I work with men in a way that is direct, practical, and compassionate. Therapy doesn't have to mean simply talking about problems. It can be a place to understand what is happening beneath the surface, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop a clearer sense of how you want to move forward.
Together, we explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness, and a strength-based approach, I help you examine the beliefs and expectations that may be influencing how you see yourself and how you respond to the people and circumstances around you.
For some men, this may mean learning how to communicate more effectively, manage anger or anxiety, navigate infidelity or divorce, strengthen a relationship, or become more present as a parent. For others, it may involve questions about identity, purpose, confidence, success, or what they want the next chapter of their life to look like.
You don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can start wherever you are.
My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing without judgment or unnecessary labels, while also challenging the patterns that may be getting in your way. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, and a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether we focus on masculinity or not, the pressures and expectations that men can face create a unique dynamic that can't be ignored. As a psychologist specializing in men's issues, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce your strengths while exploring the aspects of your life that don't fit or work as well as you'd want. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences can impact the body and brain in ways that disrupt our daily life. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

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.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
For a lot of men, asking for help is the hardest part. You were taught to push through, stay strong, figure it out on your own. Showing vulnerability was not exactly encouraged, and somewhere along the way the weight of that expectation became its own kind of burden.
We see you. And we want you to know that coming here took strength, not weakness.
At CCW International, we create a space where men can talk honestly about what they are carrying without judgment, without having to perform toughness, and without being rushed toward a solution before they have had a chance to actually be heard. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship struggles, identity questions, career pressure, anger, or the quiet depression that nobody around you seems to notice, we are here for all of it.
For our veteran and military clients, we understand the particular weight that comes with a culture that prizes resilience above all else. We know what it costs to carry that alone. And we know that real resilience is not about never struggling. It is about having the courage to get the support you deserve.
You have spent enough time holding it together by yourself. Let us help you carry some of this.

Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Men have unique issues in therapy that not all therapists understand. Folks must find someone who can meet them where they are and many folks want someone who at least has a reference for being of the same sex even though no man is the same. Certain social, sexual, and cultural pressures are unique to inhabiting a male body that cannot be overstated and we must treat it differently. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.
