Therapy for Men: Real Support for Real Challenges 

At Fash Counseling, we welcome people of all gender identities, but we recognize that men face unique emotional struggles, often silently. Culturally, men are taught to “man up,” not speak up, and certainly not ask for help. The result? An alarming number of men avoid therapy until problems boil over. 

Research shows that only 60% of men with depression seek treatment, far fewer than women. Emotional suppression and outdated masculine ideals can lead to unresolved anger, substance abuse, and disconnected relationships. 

Here’s what therapy for men at Fash Counseling can help you with: 

  • Substance Abuse & Addiction: Men are nearly twice as likely as women to develop alcohol dependency. We help you untangle the roots of addiction and build healthier coping skills. 
  • Fatherhood & Parenting Stress: Whether you’re a new dad navigating postpartum depression (which affects up to 25% of fathers) or facing custody stress post-divorce, therapy offers tools to handle it all. 
  • Managing Anger: Anger isn’t inherently bad—but when it becomes explosive or masks fear and shame, it deserves attention. Our counselors help men explore underlying emotions without judgment. 
  • Masculinity & Identity: Today’s man is expected to be strong and sensitive, assertive and nurturing. Therapy helps redefine masculinity on your own terms, not society’s. 

Prefer to speak with a male therapist? You’re in the right place.
