Men's Therapy
in Barrington, IL
Helping men be the kind of fathers, husbands and friends that they'd like to be
Sometimes life sucks.
Perhaps right now, is one of those times.
Most men who start therapy feel like they ought to be able to handle things on their own . Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you're noticing that you often think a lot about how stressed you are, feeling like youre working hard but not seeing results, or not exactly where you thought you’d be at this time in life. Maybe you hear from your wife that she's not happy with the way things are right now.
Stuck in negativity and feeling unmotivated, you may feel like you can’t really get ahead.
Do You Feel Insecure, Angry, Ashamed?
Do any of the following resonate with you?
You aren’t present when you are spending time with people you love or doing the things you like to do.
You lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life.
You feel like you're living at a frenzied pace leaving you frazzled and stressed.
You feel like you are wandering through life, feeling like something is missing or your balance is "off."
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that even though you might feel like a failure for needing help, that couldn't be further from the truth. It takes courage to become aware about what you are going through and ask for help.
Self-care is not an indulgence or a selfish act. In fact, it is especially important to take care of yourself when you have the responsibility of providing for others.

How Men’s Therapy Works
Men's Therapy consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share thoughts when it's helpful, I play an active role.

First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.

Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.

We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations.

Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them.

Research shows that therapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
