Men’s Issues
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.

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.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
It is not uncommon for those of us who have been instilled with the expectation that to be vulnerable is, to some degree, a reflection of weakness. However, to be human is to be inherently vulnerable and the best we can do is to accept this within ourselves and others so that we can continue on in our journey toward living a fulfilling life.

Men's issues have often been overlooked. "We have problems too!" is often something I hear and agree with.
