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.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Men approach the world with a strength and vulnerability that is pretty different from what women experience. I enjoy helping men question thinking patterns and notions about masculinity learned throughout a lifetime so that they can decide to what type of human they really want to be. Culture and race can play a large part in who we are taught to be and I would be happy to help you examine and ask questions about how you got to be the man you are and how you might become the man you want to be.
