What Therapy Gets Wrong About Men
If therapy actually listened to men, more men would show up.
Therapy For Men Who Are Tired Of Feeling Stuck
A Place Built for Men Like You
Many men know they need to talk to someone, but they feel shut out by a mental health field that often does not speak their language. You want straightforward help. You want a therapist who respects responsibility, faith, family, and the pressure to perform. You want direction, not circles.
Common Man Therapy gives you a private space where you can speak freely, without censoring yourself or worrying about saying the wrong thing. Here, you get clarity, structure, and a path forward.
What I Do
I provide individual therapy for men who are dealing with stress, frustration, burnout, anger, relationship strain, or a loss of direction. My style is direct and action focused. I use proven methods like CBT and motivational interviewing along with practical guidance that strengthens self-leadership.
Sessions help you build clarity, problem solving skills, steady discipline, and the habits that move your life forward. You will leave each session knowing what you are working on and why it matters.
When appropriate, we may also look at routine, sleep, health habits, and daily structure, since these often support a man’s mental performance. This is always optional and always centered on your goals.
Who I Help
Common Man Therapy is for men who:
-
Feel overwhelmed, unfocused, or stuck
-
Are high functioning on the outside but frustrated inside
-
Have lost their edge or sense of purpose
-
Want clear goals, structure, and honest feedback
-
Carry the weight of providing and protecting and need a place to unload without judgment
-
Want a therapist who understands how men think and operate
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and you are in the right place.
Why Men Work With Me
Many men feel uncomfortable in therapy because the setting does not match the way they think or communicate. You may feel pressured to talk in circles, share more than you want, or speak in a language that does not feel natural.
My practice is built differently.
Men work with me because:
-
You can speak freely and openly without censoring yourself
-
You get clarity instead of confusion
-
You get direction instead of vague exploration
-
You get tools you can actually use outside the session
-
You get a therapist who respects responsibility, faith, family, and discipline
-
You get someone who has lived life, not just studied it
If you want a place where you can be honest, direct, and focused on results, you will fit well here.
The Anger Algorithm: How the Internet Keeps You Mad for Profit
Ever notice how logging onto social media feels like stepping into a fight you didn’t sign up for?That is not an accident. It is the algorithm doing exactly what it was built to do: keep you engaged, even if it means keeping you angry.
When Politics Break Bonds and How Online Outrage Keeps the Wounds Open
A friend recently told me that one of our oldest friends had vanished. No argument, no warning, just an unfollow, an unfriend, and radio silence.The only “offense”? She had voted the wrong way.
Seasonal Changes vs. Seasonal Affective Disorder
As fall settles in and daylight hours get shorter, many people feel a shift in mood, energy, and motivation. That does not always mean something is wrong. Sometimes it is simply your body adjusting to the rhythm of the season. Other times, the changes are more intense, lasting, and disruptive, which can point toward Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Struggle Isn’t the Problem. It’s the Point
Let me be blunt. If you’re waiting for life to get easier, you’re wasting time. Struggle isn’t a glitch in the system. It is the system. And the sooner you stop treating discomfort like a warning sign and start treating it like a training ground, the faster you’ll stop spinning your wheels.In my therapy practice, I don’t sugarcoat reality. I don’t hand out participation trophies for showing up to your own life. I work with high-functioning, burned-out men and women who are tired of avoiding the hard stuff and ready to use it. Because the truth is, most of what’s breaking you isn’t the pain itself. It’s your belief that pain means you’re broken.
The Post-Summer Reset: Why September Sends Us Back to Therapy
Every September, therapists see a surge in new appointments. Phones start ringing, email inquiries climb, and calendars that felt manageable in July suddenly feel jammed. This is not a coincidence. After the freedom of summer, reality comes rushing back, and many people realize they are not as steady as they thought.

The Hidden Dangers of AI, Apps, and Online Courses for Mental Health
We live in a culture that promises quick fixes. With a tap on your phone, you can track your mood, log your thoughts, or follow an online course that promises to “rewire your brain.” With artificial intelligence, you don’t even need another human being involved—you can type your struggles into a chat box and get a comforting response without ever exposing your real self. On the surface, it sounds great: affordable, convenient, and—most importantly for many—anonymous. No awkward silences, no difficult truths, no risk of judgment.

Obedience Isn’t Abuse: Reclaiming Authority in the Age of Fragile Parenting
Let’s get one thing straight: kids are not born with an innate knowledge of what’s best for them. They are born with needs, instincts, and impulses. It’s your job to help them shape those into something functional and healthy. But that job becomes impossible when you, the adult, are too afraid to do the hard part of parenting—saying no.
Therapy Isn’t for the Weak — It’s for the Fed Up
