Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most men arrive in therapy having spent years inside a definition of masculinity that was never examined — only inherited. The cost shows up as numbness, as rage that finds no proportion, as relationships that stay on the surface because going deeper was never modeled and never permitted. The work is not about dismantling masculinity. It is about distinguishing between what was given to you and what actually belongs to you, so you can begin living from something real.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Many men grow up receiving messages that make it difficult to acknowledge vulnerability, ask for help, or express emotion openly. Therapy offers a place to explore those expectations with curiosity rather than judgment while considering whether they still fit the life you want to live. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional flexibility, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity. You don't have to choose between being strong and being emotionally honest.

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Similar to my specializing in relationship counseling, men's issues is also a secondary specialization. There are fewer men than women in my field and similar to relationship stress that follows mental health issues, so do men's issues similarly follow, particularly in young adult men. I didn't intentional specialize here, but I've found it helpful and rewarding.
My work in this area tends to be "socratic." This means I ask you about your relationship with men's issues and to what extent you're satisfied with how things are. If you're not satisfied, I continue asking what you think about it, whether you would prefer change, and if so, how you might achieve that and what might interfere with that goal.

Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Men face unique challenges that are often overlooked or minimized, including pressure to stay strong, difficulty expressing emotions, and navigating identity, relationships, or fatherhood. You may feel isolated, angry, or unsure of how to cope with stress, trauma, or major life transitions. I provide a respectful and supportive space for men to explore these experiences without judgment. Together we work to better understand your internal world, build emotional resilience, and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Therapy can be a place to reconnect with your values and define strength on your own terms.
