Individual Therapy

Understand what's really driving your patterns and develop personalized strategies for change. Most men start here as the foundation of their integrated program—we'll work together to determine when to add group work and community support.

The Foundation of Your Program

Individual therapy is where most men begin their integrated program. This is where you do the foundational work of understanding yourself—not just managing symptoms, but addressing what causes them. As you build this foundation, we'll work together to determine when to add group therapy for peer learning and activate your included community membership for ongoing support.

Deep Exploration

Explore how your history, attachment patterns, and past experiences shape current behavior. This isn't surface-level work—it's understanding the operating system that runs your responses so you can finally change patterns that keep repeating.

Complete Confidentiality

What you discuss stays between you and your therapist. Ideal for sensitive issues around relationships, work, or family dynamics.

Flexible Pacing

Move at your own speed. Dive deep when you're ready, take breaks when needed, and adjust frequency based on what's working.

Integrated Approach

Combines insight-oriented work with practical skill development. Understanding why anger flares is as important as learning how to manage it. We address both so symptoms don't just migrate to new forms.

Best For:

  • Depression or anxiety that's affecting your work, relationships, or quality of life
  • Relationship issues including divorce, infidelity recovery, or communication problems
  • Career transitions or identity struggles around purpose and direction
  • Trauma or PTSD that requires specialized, trauma-informed approaches
  • Anger management when you need to develop better emotional regulation
  • Complex family dynamics including fatherhood challenges or aging parent care

How It Works

1

Free Consultation (15-20 min)

We'll talk about what you're dealing with, answer your questions, and determine if we're a good fit. No pressure, no obligation.

2

Initial Assessment (50 min)

We'll dig into what's going on, your goals, and start mapping out an approach. You'll leave with concrete next steps, not vague platitudes.

3

Ongoing Sessions (50 min each)

Weekly or biweekly sessions focused on specific issues and measurable progress. We adjust the approach based on what's actually working for you.

4

Regular Progress Checks

Every few sessions, we'll step back and evaluate what's working. If something isn't helping, we change it. If you've hit your goals, we transition out.

What to Expect in Sessions

Sessions combine exploration and action. We work to understand what's driving your patterns—which often means examining how past experiences, relationships, and emotional development affect you now. This isn't aimless talk; it's structured exploration to identify why you keep hitting the same walls.

Understanding your emotional history isn't about blame or dwelling on the past—it's about freedom. When you understand why depression shows up, not just how to manage it, you prevent it from morphing into anxiety or substance use. When you understand what anger is masking, you can address the actual issue instead of just controlling the symptom.

Most men see noticeable improvement within 8-12 sessions, though complex issues may take longer. You're in control of the timeline—therapy ends when you've reached your goals, not when some arbitrary number of sessions is up.

Common Questions

How long does therapy take?

Most men see significant improvement in 8-12 sessions for focused issues like stress management or recent relationship problems. Complex issues like trauma or long-standing depression may take 3-6 months of weekly work. We check progress regularly so you know where you stand.

What if I don't know where to start?

That's normal. In the consultation and first session, we'll help you identify what's most important to address. You don't need to have it all figured out—that's what therapy is for.

Is it really confidential?

Yes. What you discuss in therapy stays in therapy, with very limited exceptions (imminent danger to self or others, court order). We don't share information with family, employers, or anyone else without your explicit written permission.
