About

In our first session, you will do most of the talking, and my only job is to understand exactly how the last month has actually gone. Most men find that easier than they feared and harder than they admit. Irritability is usually the tip of something older, and we treat it that way. Expect honest conversations about masculinity, since most men learned the rules for anger before they learned to spell. The framework is cognitive behavioral: we test your explanations against the record and keep only what survives. I was a client long before I was a clinician, and I have never forgotten how much nerve the first appointment takes. I try to be the kind of man clients did not know they were allowed to talk to. I will encourage you constantly and hold you accountable consistently, because you need both. Whenever you are ready, the next step is one short message.
