Men — whether in their 20s, 30s, 40s — often carry depression, anxiety, old wounds, and relationship stress behind a calm front. To the world, they look like steady partners, dads, workers — doing what’s expected. But inside, many feel disconnected, frustrated, or numb. Some struggle to speak up, afraid to disappoint. Some feel haunted by past traumas that shape today’s life. And as they age and roles shift, many feel lost or stuck. It can feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming. As life changes, many feel unsure how to grow. If this feels familiar, know you don’t have to carry it alone

Common Issues

I Help Men Better Cope With Issues Impacting Their Lives

Feeling Angry or Resentful..


It's very common for men to struggle with the pressure to meet expectations of parents, friends, romantic partners, employers and society in general. Do you feel the enormity of this weight in your daily life? Do you wear a "tough-guy" mask to the outside world, but take it off in private and feel insecure, inadequate or confused? Have you worn these masks for so long that it's hard to peel it off your face? Are you ready to take-off the masks and show the world and yourself the true authentic you?

These masks can create an enormous pressure on the inside for which men often lack a healthy outlet. It's very common for guys to use anger and resentment as their pressure release valve. However, the explosion of steam can unwittingly scar and burn those closest to us. Let me help you in a private, understanding and non-judgmental environment.

Feeling Stuck...


Men often feel stuck in their relationships, career and friendships. For a variety of reasons, men can feel like they have no choices in their present and future. They tell me that they can't change careers - even one they hate - because they need to earn money to support their families. They feel they can't change their relationships because while it may not be great, its not too bad - so why bother. They may have unsatisfying relationships with their children or parents - but "it is what it is." I've been there too and completely understand. Let's explore what untying the knots holding you stuck may feel like and the potential consequences.

Feeling Lost...


Men, in general, but especially millennial-aged men, are expected to know what they want, know how to get it, and know how to keep it. We're supposed to be sensitive to others, but strong and powerful at the same time. That can be and feel like a huge contradiction. Its common for men of any age, but especially men in the 20s-40s, to ask themselves: "am I really "good-enough?" or "am I meeting the expectations I have for myself or my partner/kids have of me?" The dichotomy between their outward successes as compared to their inner feelings of inadequacy or insecurity is striking, confusing and frustrating. While women may generally feel more comfortable expressing these feelings to others in their circle, men often ask these questions in silence. I am dedicated to accepting you as you are and not trying to change you. Let's dive deep together and find your true self-worth and inner peace.

Romantic Relationship Struggles


In today's society, it's often said that men just focus on the physical or superficial aspect of relationships. However, in my personal and professional experience, most men want romance and substantive relationships with their partners, but are often unsure how to develop and then maintain long-term committed relationships and marriages. When I work with men, either individually or a part of a couple unit, they are frustrated when their partner tells them "you aren't good enough." Men also can struggle with the time after a relationship begins or ends. Let's explore your emotions and find the perfect balance of love, commitment and satisfaction in your romantic relationships.

Father-Child Relationships


Fathers and their sons or daughters often have secure relationships that last a lifetime. Unfortunately, sometimes that strong bond is broken or never existed. As children grow from childhood into their teenage years, they often stop relying on their dads in the same way as when they were younger. For many men, this change in relationship and need can be unsettling. During this transition period, dads often struggle as they feel their 'fatherhood' and guidance is no longer welcome, or, in some cases, rejected by their adult children. Let Me Help Restore That Bond.

Men Can't Be Super-Heroes All The Time...


Therapy helps men to process and cope with the feelings, emotions and issues they may be experiencing that result from the struggles they face on a daily basis. It provides an effective way to combat the anxiety and pressure they often face in the personal and professional lives. Counseling allows and gives permission for men to safely and privately open-up and listen to the messages from their inner-voice that may have been stifled or shutdown, or to simply develop better tools to cope with life’s endless challenges.

As an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have helped numerous men recover from depression, anxiety, mid-life crisis, sexual-related issues, compulsive behaviors, and marital, family and other important relationship challenges.

Other Common Issues


Men are complex and unique individuals. While you are your guy friends or brother may have a similar situation or problem, you will each experience it in vastly different ways. Do you want to develop a better and more satisfying sense of self? Are you feeling anxious, sad or depressed? Are you unsatisfied in your career or job? Are you suffering due to a traumatic event, such as childhood abuse? Do you give too much to others and don’t get enough of what you need or deserve? Do you often feel hurt by friends, family or your partner? Are you often finding yourself in challenging or unsatisfying relationships? Are you grieving the loss of a relationship or loved-one? Are you struggling with compulsive behaviors? Is your role as "dad" or "son" unclear? Regardless of the "problem," it's solvable. Let Me Help.

Men experience many issues that are beyond their control, but dramatically and significantly impact their lives. Regardless if it results from depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, self-esteem, relationships, sexuality or parent-child interactions, men often suffer in silence - as they feel the pressure from society, friends and family to be a “strong guy.” It's Time To Stop Suffering In Silence.

affordable RATES

Private Pay & Insurance Options


Affordably priced private-pay session fees accommodate almost all budgets. One advantage of choosing the private-pay option is that only our clients and Erica & Eric are the ones who determine the number, frequency, and length of sessions - not an insurance company.

Insurance is accepted only for individual (not couples or families) clients who have mental health insurance benefits provided by: Aetna, Optum (Oxford, UMR, Oscar Health, AvMed), United Healthcare, Florida Blue, Cigna, Blue Cross of Mass., Carelon Behavioral Health, Horizon Blue Cross of New Jersey, and Quest Behavioral Health.

There are many pros/cons about choosing between private pay and insurance options.

Benefits of Therapy For Men

Trauma Resolution

Men may not recognize and understand the impact that trauma and abuse from their past can adversely have in their current life and relationships. I can help you process the pain and reduce the damaging impact it has for you.

Depression & Anxiety

Many men come to counseling with me suffering from depression or anxiety, regardless if diagnosed or undiagnosed. I provide strategies to change your thinking and explore the root causes of the unwanted feelings.

Self Esteem

Perhaps surprisingly, many men struggle with self-esteem issues. I view this concept as two related words. The "Self" answers the question: who am I now at this stage in my life? "Esteem" answers the question: how do I value who I am now?

Life Transitions

Transitions can be difficult times for men. Regardless of the change (relationship status, career, fatherhood, empty nest or loss of a loved one), I can help you process the feelings and learn coping skills to adapt to the new experiences you face.
