Therapy for Men

 

Are you a man looking for a place to explore your feelings without judgment?

Maybe you feel stuck at your job or in your relationship. Maybe you’re navigating family changes, mental health issues, or the modern dating world. It’s tempting to think you need to be strong, avoid asking for help, and just deal with it. But true strength is knowing that sometimes you need help. Ignoring problems can allow them to grow bigger and interfere with relationships, work success, and life satisfaction. The therapists at Four Corners Counseling & Well-Being are trained in strengths-based and goal-oriented approaches to help you work through what’s tough right now.

 

Therapy can help with a range of common issues affecting men and individuals who identify as male.

Common questions and concerns about therapy for men

  • We’ll talk about whatever you want to talk about, whether it’s why you don’t get along with your boss or what the deal is with those dating apps you keep hearing about. Our goal will be to make you feel comfortable so you can share honestly about your goals at work, in your relationship, with your family, and more. We’ll help you figure out why things are stuck and how to move forward.

  • Yes, trying something new can feel risky. But you want something to change, and we’re here to help. In today’s rapidly changing world—with shifting ideas about what it means to be a man—therapy is a safe and confidential space to explore how you want to be your best self. Most men who come to therapy experience positive changes in the first few sessions.

  • Therapy is confidential. Everything you talk about will not be shared with anyone unless you provide express permission. This means you can open up about thoughts and feelings that may make you feel uncomfortable or vulnerable—that you wouldn’t share with anyone else.

  • Therapy usually only works when someone is inspired to change. But you might want to share this page with the men or male-identifying person you care about and ask if they’re willing to try. Four Corners therapists have worked with many people who are new to therapy, and know how to make the process as stress-free as possible.
