Counseling Men In Chicago
Are you looking for a counselor and life coach in Chicago who understands men’s issues? Do you struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, career issues or relationship problems? Hoping to create positive change?
If the answer is yes, I’m really glad you are here. Over the years, I’ve developed a great deal of experience helping men reclaim their lives. I’m talking about guys from different walks of life – be it straight, gay or bi.
All of these men shared three common traits:
1. The need to talk to someone confidentially in a supportive environment.
2. A desire to learn new coping strategies for anxiety, stress and other life challenges.
3. The hope to heal emotional wounds and live happier, more fulfilling lives.
My Approach To Therapy
Interactive and intuitive, I use the tenets of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and hypnotherapy as tools for insight and change.
Other modalities may be employed as well, including mindfulness based strategies, energy psychology and goal focused coaching. Depending on your situation, EMDR may also be a possibility. Homework is often given to reinforce learning concepts.
Common Men’s Counseling Problems Include:
- Anxiety and stress
- Marriage problems
- Affairs and infidelity
- Career challenges and indecisiveness
- College, university challenges
- Problems with focus on school or work
- Separations and breaking Up
- Negative thinking
- Life transitions and adulting
- Dating challenges
- Habit control
- Fears and phobias

- Assertiveness issues
Here is the deal – many guys feel like they need to face issues alone and “man up” in order to be a dude. That’s complete non-sense and isn’t reality based.
In truth, one of the strongest things you can do as a guy is reach out for guidance and support when you need help. My solution focused approach is designed to help men – perhaps just like you – focus on what’s working and what’s not.
If you are tired of being stuck in neutral, don’t you owe it to yourself to do something about it?
Here’s a video of my office in Chicago in case you are wondering what it might look like.
Counseling and Therapy for Men
If you are a guy and need support and coaching around a particular life challenge, Guy Counseling is the place to come to for help. You don’t have to deal with your issues all on your own.
The solution focused “guy friendly” approach I use has been cultivated to move you to a place of meaningful change. There is only one catch. You have to be willing to put in the time and effort to make it happen. When you get a chance, you can read more about my bio and background.
If you are still in a place of not being sure if counseling or coaching is right for you, that’s cool. In the meantime, head on over to my men’s blog to check out guy related articles to see what resonates.
The last thing I’ll say is this. I’m a guy just like you. I get it.
