Men’s Group Therapy
A supportive, confidential space for men who cary a lot and rarely have anywhere to put it.
Men’s Therapy Groups
Many men move through life holding everything together: careers, parenting, relationships, pressure, expectations and the quiet belief that they should be able to “handle” it on their own. Under the surface, that often looks like anxiety, irritability, emotional shut down, burnout or feeling disconnected from the people who care about you.
These groups aim to change that.
A Space Where You Don’t Have to be “On”
This is a small group of men who are willing to talk about what real life looks like behind the scenes. No cliches, no forced sharing, no judgement. These are closed groups, meaning you will meet with the same men over time and new members are added to existing groups only after having discussed this with current group members. New groups can form on their own and are open until they are officially deemed a closed group.
This is a safe place to be real about:
Overthinking or worry
Constant stress or pressure
Anger, irritation or emotional shutdown
Burnout or exhaustion
Relationship or communication struggles
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Carrying responsibility that no one else sees
Being “the strong one” for too long
Reducing shame through being met with empathy and non-judgement
Here, you don’t have to pretend everything is fine. You get to show up as you are.

Why Men’s Groups Work
Men often don’t get many places where they can:
Talk without being judged
Be vulnerable/open without being criticized or given unsolicited advice
Ask questions without feeling weak
Slow down without feeling lazy
Feel seen without being attacked
These groups give you a space to breathe with a group of men who are also doing the work, same as you
