Support For Men Who Carry More Than They Show

Many men experience depression and anxiety. In fact, approximately one in ten do. However, many don’t seek help for these issues.  Men seek mental health support and therapy at rates that are much lower compared to women.

The reason men don’t ask for help is more than just “being stubborn.” Men are socialized not to ask. In fact, tucking one’s chin under and soldiering on can be a survival instinct. Men are socially penalized for straying from masculine norms—and that includes showing vulnerability.

Men commonly skip therapy because of stigma. Fear of the unknown, denial of a problem, or a general unfamiliarity with the therapy process can also stop men from seeking help. For men, formal help-seeking from professionals is mostly seen as a last resort for the most serious problems. Many men feel mental health professionals are not relatable or approachable.

Therapy provides men with a safe space to process pain, loss, and emotional hurdles. With the help of a therapist specializing in men’s issues, you can develop powerful tools for learning emotional skills, creating boundaries, creating balance, and building a life that makes you proud and empowered.

At Deep Centered Mental Health, you can bring in what’s been bothering you, and we’ll help you get through it with unconditional support and the tools you need to be happier. 

Why It Can Be Hard To Reach Out

Men often feel forced to struggle through life without being on the receiving end of compassion or empathy. They receive messaging over and over again that their struggles make them weak. They are raised to keep quiet and handle problems alone. Many men feel like they’ll be judged for asking for help. Reaching out can feel uncomfortable or almost like a hassle you don’t want to deal with. 

Other men simply don’t know where to start with therapy. While they know they need to do something, they question if simply sitting on a couch talking to a stranger will actually “fix” them. Therapy can also seem self-indulgent to some men. After all, most have been socialized to learn to ignore their feelings.

A Professional Approach to Men's Therapy

Thomas Clark, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I specialize in working with adult men navigating self-esteem issues, substance use, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My experience also includes supporting veterans, first responders, and individuals facing chronic or terminal illness. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to begin therapy, and I strive to meet each client with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to explore what truly matters to them.

My style is grounded in a person-centered approach, which I combine with directive techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and faith-integrated counseling when appropriate. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and authentic, where clients are empowered to take ownership of their growth while knowing they’re not alone in the process. I work to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can explore both the barriers and breakthroughs together.

Clients often tell me they feel heard, challenged, and genuinely supported in our work. Many have walked away with stronger communication skills, a clearer sense of boundaries, and a renewed perspective on themselves and their relationships. Whether you’re facing addiction, emotional stress, or a desire for deeper change, I’ll meet you where you are and walk with you toward something better.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy opens new doors in the exploration of self for men. It’s a space where you can speak candidly and open up about things. Topics that feel too heavy or taboo to discuss with a partner, friend, or family member can finally be explored.

Therapy allows you to process experiences and emotions you’ve buried. For some, therapy traces roots back to childhood experiences and traumas. For others, it’s about adopting healthy coping mechanisms and social-emotional tools. In fact, one of the most surprising benefits of therapy for men is that it leaves them with dynamic tools for “doing life better.” 

The most important aspect of therapy is that you can speak without judgment or interruption. You no longer have to fear that your feelings or opinions will be invalidated. You don’t have to push down your emotions or handle problems on your own. 

Therapy can also help you make sense of your emotions. Anger and aggression can be unmasked as hurt. Disconnection and aloofness can be unmasked as fear of rejection. It’s an opportunity to finally see all the ways your personality has evolved to cope with feelings that felt too overwhelming.

Men’s therapy doesn’t fit into a neat box. Therapists utilize a wide array of science-backed and holistic methods to help men prioritize mental health. Whether you need help stopping unwanted behaviors or regulating emotions, a therapy path can be tailored to meet your needs.

Therapeutic Approaches We Use

Common approaches used in men's therapy include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): With this therapy, you learn to identify specific thoughts and patterns that are actually under control.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Men struggling with repeated relationship habits or unwanted behavioral patterns can explore childhood patterns and identify root causes using this therapy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This innovative therapy is ideal for men struggling with PTSD or trauma responses. It provides a safe, structured way to reprocess experience and memories.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Designed to boost mindfulness, DBT is useful for setting boundaries, learning to communicate effectively, and staying present in difficult or uncomfortable situations.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): Used commonly for men struggling with depression, IPT focuses on managing mood systems, coping with conflict, and developing strong interpersonal tools.
