Men’s Issues
Specialized Support for Men’s Mental Health and Well-being
Most of the men who end up in my office—or on my telehealth screen, never planned on seeing a therapist. They manage crews, fix boats, sign paychecks, coach Little League. They also wake at 3 a.m. doing mental math on bills, snap at kids for making normal kid noise, drink one beer too many to quiet the buzz in their heads, or wonder why intimacy feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. If any of that sounds familiar, this page is for you.
