Therapy for men may have some unique challenges. Depending on your cultural beliefs, and experiences, you may have believed for a long time that men don’t go to therapy or talk about their problems. Another common misconception is that men are always supposed to be strong and handle their problems quietly. I personally think that this couldn’t be further from the truth. There is great strength in going to therapy and working through your challenges. I understand that sometimes it is more challenging for men to seek therapy due to stigma around mental health and cultural perceptions about men. I also understand that due to the challenges, that it can be more challenges to discuss adversities that you may face.

Over the years, I have worked with a significant number of men providing counseling services.
