Therapy for Men in NYC
Many men come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—often without fully knowing why. On the surface, things may look fine: work is moving forward, responsibilities are being met, and life appears stable. Internally, however, stress, anxiety, irritability, numbness, or relationship difficulties can quietly build over time.
Many men come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure why life feels harder than it looks from the outside. Work may be moving forward, responsibilities may be getting handled, and everything may appear stable — but internally, stress, anxiety, irritability, numbness, or relationship difficulties can quietly build over time.
Why Men Come to Therapy
Men often come to therapy when the usual ways of coping stop working as well. That may look like pushing through, staying busy, keeping feelings contained, intellectualizing, withdrawing, drinking or using substances more than intended, getting irritable, or feeling distant in relationships.
Some men come in because they feel anxious or depressed. Others come because a relationship is strained, dating feels discouraging, work has become consuming, anger feels harder to manage, or they feel successful in some areas but strangely disconnected from themselves.
You do not need to arrive with the perfect explanation. Part of the work is figuring out what is happening together.
Common Concerns I Help With
I work with men around concerns such as:
Anxiety, stress, and burnout
Depression, numbness, or feeling flat
Relationship difficulties and communication issues
Anger, irritability, or emotional shutdown
Dating, intimacy, sex, and identity
Substance use or other coping patterns that have become hard to manage
Work pressure, perfectionism, and feeling like you always have to perform
Life transitions, grief, family issues, and questions about who you are becoming
My Approach
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I listen closely not only to what is happening in your life, but also to the patterns that repeat — in relationships, at work, in family dynamics, and sometimes even in the therapy itself.
I work from an interpersonal and psychodynamic perspective, which means I’m interested in how your past and present relationships shape the way you experience yourself and others. At the same time, I’m practical and flexible. When it is useful, we may also focus on concrete ways to communicate more clearly, manage anxiety, understand triggers, or interrupt patterns that are getting in your way.
The goal is not to make you into someone else. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to make choices rather than simply react.
Therapy for Gay and Bisexual Men
I am LGBTQ-affirming and particularly attuned to the experiences of gay and bisexual men. For some men, therapy may involve questions around identity, sex, shame, family, dating, intimacy, masculinity, or the pressure to seem fine even when something feels off.
You do not have to explain or defend who you are here. We can focus on the parts of your life that feel painful, confusing, stuck, or ready for change.
