Men's Issues
Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
At Pathways To Connection, our counselors provide a safe, non-judgmental space for men to explore and address the unique challenges they face. Whether dealing with stress, relationship struggles, career pressures, or mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression, we help men navigate these challenges with understanding and support. We work to break through societal expectations and stereotypes, encouraging men to express their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve their overall well-being. By fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth, we empower men to build stronger relationships, achieve life balance, and live more authentically.

Men's Issues
Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many men have been raised to view emotional pain as a sign of weakness and, consequently, have difficulty identifying, expressing, and regulating their emotions. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment in which men can feel safe and supported while processing their emotions and to help reframe being in touch with one's emotions as an indicator of strength and empowerment.

The loneliness epidemic facing men in particular is important to address and I’ve been studying it for over 20 years. I offer a safe space to explore emotions and experiences.

Men's Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with men who are not new to self‑reflection. You may already value therapy, reading, or inner work, and want a place to go deeper and be more fully honest. This might be because stress from a high‑pressure or high‑responsibility career has built up, patterns in relationships keep repeating, or you have reached a point in life where “just pushing through” no longer feels like enough. You might notice burnout, irritability, withdrawal, difficulty talking about certain emotions, or feeling alone even when you are not physically alone.
Some men I work with are navigating ADHD in the workplace and feel misunderstood, disorganized, or constantly behind. Others want deeper friendships or more connection in their relationships but are unsure how to build or maintain that. You may be dating, going through a separation, adjusting to a new stage of parenting, or trying to make sense of old patterns that are resurfacing.
In many cultures, men are encouraged to handle things alone, minimize distress, or turn feelings into action. Over time, this can create pressure, isolation, or a sense of being cut off from yourself, even if things look fine from the outside. In our work together, there is no expectation that you arrive with the right words. We move at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system and your life, and we pay attention to what actually helps you feel clearer, more grounded, and more genuinely yourself in work, friendships, and relationships. You do not have to keep carrying all of this by yourself. I work extensively with men in this position, and I respect the courage it takes to start this conversation.

Men's Issues
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
I understand men's issues and take a compassionate empowering approach to helping men. Therapy is underutilized for men and can be incredibly helpful for learning to better communicate, to gain greater insight into oneself, coping, skills, stress management skills, reducing negative self-talk, increasing confidence, and behavioral activation (taking action).

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino, Hmong, and East African communities are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
