Support for Men
Real Conversations. Real Support. No Judgement.
“Be a man” and “man up” are common phrases in American culture. For many men, these phrases imply that to “qualify as a man,” he must be tough, brave, knowledgeable, and show little to no emotion or pain. This places tremendous pressure on men to live up to those standards and negates the unique qualities that make an individual his kind of man.

First Time?
Society often teaches men to “tough it out” and keep their struggles to themselves—but bottling up emotions doesn’t make them go away. Men face stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and self-doubt just like anyone else. Seeking support isn’t a weakness; it’s an investment in your well-being, relationships, and future.

"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds." – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Common Questions
Should a Male get a Male Therapist
The best therapist for you is the one you feel comfortable with. If you feel more at ease with a female therapist, that’s great. If talking to another man makes you feel safer, I’d be happy to support you. What matters most is finding someone you can trust and open up to.
What Type of Therapy is Best for Men?
At Therapy By You, the best therapy is the one that fits you. There’s no single approach that works for everyone. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) may help some with anxiety by changing negative thought patterns, while family systems therapy can improve relationships and intimacy. We work with you to find the right mix of strategies to support your goals and create lasting change.
Does Therapy Actually Help Men?
Yes, therapy has been shown to help men manage depression, anxiety, and stress. A study by Fogarty et al. (2022) found that the Man Therapy program reduced suicidal thoughts and depression in working-age men (Fogarty et al., 2022). Another study by Seidler et al. (2023) showed that therapy tailored for men improves engagement and mental health outcomes (Seidler et al., 2023). Therapy provides tools to handle emotions, build resilience, and improve relationships.
