Therapy for Men in MA
Reconnect with yourself. Redefine strength. Live with more ease.
Sound like you?
You did everything “right” but still feel alone.
Most of us—especially men—weren’t taught how to name or express our feelings. We learned to push them down, stay in control, and keep going. Maybe you heard “man up” or “don’t be weak,” and over time, it felt safer to shut down than show vulnerability.
What starts as self-protection often turns into frustration, anger, or distance—from yourself and from the people you care about.
Therapy offers a place to finally let your guard down, explore what’s underneath, and start reconnecting—with your emotions, your relationships, and the version of life that feels more like your own.
How we’ll work together
There’s more to life than this - let’s get you back on track.
A lot of us grow up being told—directly or indirectly—that emotions are a problem, that success matters more than self-awareness, and that vulnerability is a weakness. Over time, those ideas can shape how you relate to yourself and the people around you. In therapy, we’ll look at where those beliefs came from—your upbringing, your culture, your environment—and how they might still be getting in your way. This isn’t about judgment. It’s about understanding and creating space for something different.
We’ll question the old rules—about masculinity, emotional expression, and what strength really means—and start building something that actually fits. You’ll learn to identify and express what you're feeling, speak up for what you need, and show up more fully in your relationships.
Therapy isn’t just about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about figuring out what matters to you—and living in a way that reflects that. Together, we’ll make room for more clarity, more connection, and more freedom to be yourself.

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up.”

Men face unique pressures around masculinity, emotional suppression, fiscal and career success, and being physically fit. They’re also more likely to feel ashamed about facing mental health struggles, which makes them less likely to reach out for help. As someone who specializes in working with men and who has a deep understanding of these issues, I can help you figure out what’s wrong and tackle the issues you’re facing.

It’s definitely a part of the work, but we’ll come up for air and shift to lighter topics when you need it. My biggest priority is making sure you feel safe and understood, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

It really depends on what’s going on in your life and how much support you need and want. Many of my clients have been with me for over a year because they enjoy talking to someone who gets them, and others decide to move on after accomplishing their therapy goals. I’ll help you figure out what makes sense for you.
