You’ve worked hard all of your life.

You had to grow up fast. You’ve felt alone and unsupported for as long as you can remember. On your own, you had to navigate financial insecurity, your parent’s drinking problem, and violent outbursts from family members. You’re still haunted by events from your childhood and don’t trust others easily. Your anger feels out of control. You were taught that expressing your feelings was a sign of weakness. You’re terrified that you will repeat the dysfunctional patterns of the past in your current relationships. 

You’re not alone. You can find stability and emotional support in your relationships. You can change. You can heal from relational and family trauma, and break cycles of dependence and violence that have been with you since childhood. You can tap into the strength that has helped you put one foot in front of another all these years.

Connection and support are here for you. A simple phone call can provide you with the connection and support you are looking for. Your therapist can be a witness to your pain and suffering, and can help you make sense of all that has shaped you. After starting therapy, men like you have reported feeling as a weight had been lifted off their chest, and a burden taken off their shoulders. Your therapist is a fellow traveler on the path of self-improvement. With their help, you can find trust and security in relationships, and develop the skills to communicate both kindly and effectively. You’ll develop a greater understanding of how your childhood trauma impacts your adult life and feel empowered to make healthier choices. With this growing awareness you can make positive changes, and live the health and stable life you are seeking.
