Therapy for Men
As men, we are taught that there isn’t space for us to be vulnerable and open up, especially in black and brown communities.
Do You Feel Disconnected From Your Emotions?
Maybe you swing between anger and numbness, with little in between. You react before you can think. You carry heavy emotions that you can't quite name or express, and it's taking a toll on your relationships and daily life.
You don't have anyone you feel safe turning to. You worry they'll dismiss what you're going through or tell you you're overreacting. You've heard it your whole life: keep your chin up, figure it out, be strong.
The Pressure of High Performance
For many men, especially those in demanding careers, the pressure to perform is relentless. You've built success through discipline, drive, and pushing through discomfort. The same qualities that make you excellent at your job, compartmentalizing emotions, staying focused, powering through, become barriers at home. You're used to solving problems with logic and strategy, but relationships require something different. And when stress builds, it's easier to work longer hours, have another drink, or shut down entirely than to acknowledge what you're really feeling. Success shouldn't cost you your relationships or your mental health.
The Weight Men Carry
As men, especially Black and Brown men, we're taught there's no space for vulnerability. We're expected to shoulder everything: family, responsibilities, the weight of the world. It's exhausting. It's isolating.
We're told to persevere, be resilient, manage our anger—because that's the only emotion deemed acceptable. The impact on mental health is staggering:
Nearly 1 in 10 men experience anxiety or depression daily, but fewer than half will seek treatment
Men account for 75% of suicide deaths globally each year
60% of men will experience trauma in their lifetime
What does therapy do for men?
It's time to redefine masculinity. Feeling and expressing emotions isn't weakness—it's human. When emotions go unchecked, they turn into anger and resentment that feel impossible to control.
If you grew up without space to talk about your feelings, you learned to push them down. Now, as an adult, you want balance—but therapy can feel uncomfortable because it asks you to do the one thing you've avoided: feel.
Our approach is person-centered. We meet you where you are. If you know something needs to change but don't know where to start, we'll help you find your way. We'll teach you skills to strengthen your relationships and find internal peace.

Do men respond better to male therapists?
While men tend to prefer male therapists, it is not a rule. It is most important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Many men see female therapists and make great progress in therapy.
What if therapy isn’t enough to help me?
There is no one way to seek help. Sometimes therapy is enough and sometimes we need more support. This might look like medication or establishing a better support system. These are all topics you can discuss with your therapist.
