Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Many men learn to keep difficult emotions to themselves, solve problems alone, and appear fine even when they feel deeply lonely, insecure, overwhelmed, or disconnected. You may have people around you but still feel that nobody truly knows you. You may struggle to form close friendships, communicate openly in relationships, cope with rejection, or feel confident in who you are.
I work with straight, gay, and bisexual men navigating loneliness, dating and relationship difficulties, sexual identity, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, career stress, and major life transitions. Therapy offers a private place to speak honestly without needing to perform, minimize what you feel, or have everything figured out.
Together, we can explore the experiences and beliefs shaping your current patterns while also taking practical steps toward change. My goal is to help you become more secure in yourself, more comfortable with vulnerability, and better able to build the close, lasting relationships and meaningful 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.

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.
