Helping Men Find Clarity & Direction

Mental Health Counseling in Redding, CA

Angry, sad, depressed and confused

Something just feels off. People tell you “Just be a man!” But you have no idea what that means.

You may be walking through life asking yourself “Is this it? Where is my purpose, the excitement, the adventure? I am bombarded with so many confusing messages of who I should be. If I am too loud, aggressive, dangerous, selfish; quite too passive, weak, not manly.”

These messages paralyze you. So you procrastinate, feel trapped, like you are locked in a cage and don’t know how to get out.

This cage is constricting

It is a cage of shame. I will never be good enough.

You have thoughts like…

  • “What if I take the risk and it doesn’t work out, then what?”

  • ‘Why can’t I figure this out?”

  • “I’m doing everything I can, but nothing seems to work! What am I doing wrong?”

These ever burning questions can take you out of the life you want.

Stress, low motivation, stomach in knots, bouts of anger and yelling, addictions, pornography, failed relationships, the list goes on and on. You feel like you are failing at your job, failing at your marriage, failing as a father, failing at life.

You know you want to get better but you don’t know how. You want to have an amazing relationship, be the engaged dad, the man you dreamed of being.

The truth is, if you take more strategic action then you can find the path to healing that lets you destroy old patterns which are not serving you. Drastic change is possible when you have the right map and the right guide.

We also offer support for dads.

Men’s Counseling can help

Most men have been raised by outdated information about what it is to be a man. Think about it. Where did you learn about what kids need? What does your partner want? Money? Sex? Success?

Chances are you were taught by people who struggle with the very same things you are struggling with.

So we are taught and we develop rules for living. These look like:

  • “Happy wife, happy life.”

  • “I avoid/don’t like conflict”

  • “If I do this for you then you will do this for me.”

These mottos lead to people pleasing, hiding, and peacekeeping. Bottom line “it is exhausting.”

Lets work together

Learning a new path

As a man, I have a unique understanding of the problem you face. Through therapy we get to the root of the problem. Explore your inner stories and programming to figure out why you don’t have the life, relationships, communication skills, or job you want.

By getting to the bottom line we can destroy old patterns that keep you stuck and put you on the path to the story you desire.

Once you figure out how your past is influencing your present, we can let go of self destructive behaviors, build confidence, self esteem, and communication skills.

Now you will have the skills to develop each day and choose into joy, excitement, passion, purpose, and adventure. You can wake up and look forward to the items in your to-do list vs. feeling overwhelmed and doomed. Through therapy we will not only focus on what’s holding you back, but we also focus on optimizing your life so you can live the life you want!

Asking for help is not weakness, it is courageous, and it’s your time to get started.
