Do you feel you are always falling short as a husband or parent? Does your partner complain about you not being able to express your emotions? If you feel that you manage stress well, but your loved ones are always nagging you about being more present, you might benefit from therapy.
Society often imposes rigid expectations of masculinity, such as the pressure to be stoic, self-reliant, and dominant. I can help you explore how these societal norms impact your self-esteem, relationships, and mental health. Challenging harmful stereotypes and encouraging vulnerability can be beneficial.
Some common mental health issues experienced by men include:
- Anger management issues
- Anxiety
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

- Low self-worth
- Mood-related challenges
- Obsessive thoughts and compulsions

- Sexual dysfunction

Why Seek Therapy for Men’s Issues?
Many men struggle with expressing their emotions openly due to cultural norms that discourage vulnerability. Therapy can provide a safe space for you to explore and express your feelings, help you develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve your ability to communicate more effectively.
Treating men's issues in therapy involves understanding and addressing the unique challenges, experiences, and societal pressures that men face.
