Therapy for Men in San Diego

Anxiety, Burnout & Identity Work

Men’s issues are rarely spoken about. If put in the open, they’re often not taken seriously or even made fun of. On top of that, they’re evolving.

What worked in the past is outdated. A few decades ago, the primary role of a man was to provide and protect. Now there’s role confusion.  

As a therapist for men’s issues in San Diego and a telehealth therapist, I often see this pattern: even if a man is checking off all the boxes, there’s still a feeling that prevails…it’s still not enough.

In a world that glorifies status, men feel a societal (and often relational pressure) to be a:

• Financially dominant

• Physically elite

• Emotionally intelligent

• Sexually confident

• Professionally successful

• Present and available in relationships

Beneath the performance and results, here are common issues men face:

• Anxiety and chronic stress

• Depression and hopelessness

• Pornography or alcohol overuse

• Feeling emotionally disconnected

• Identity confusion

• Relationship frustration

When it comes to men’s issues, how can I help?

In men’s therapy, we focus on two core areas:

1. Restoring Energy and Stability

   • We identify where stress, resentment, burnout, or unhealthy coping are draining you.

2. Rebuilding Identity and Direction

• We clarify what you stand for, what kind of man you want to be, and how to act in alignment with that.

If your energy and identity is lacking, the world will pull you in every direction until there’s no “you” left.
