Therapy for Men

Men face unique challenges and pressures in their everyday lives, particularly when it comes to how to deal with and communicate feelings.

Today’s culture often upholds rigid expectations of masculinity, which can prevent men from really getting to know themselves, healing from their past traumas, and truly reaching their full potential.

As a result of these powerful cultural ideas about what it means to be a man, you may find yourself hiding behind a mask in front of others. Alternatively, you may feel that your masculinity unnatural or a placeholder for toxicity.

It’s hard to know how to balance healthy masculinity with emotional expression. 

Especially at a time in our culture where men are often blamed, scapegoated, or villainized just because of their gender.

From the expectations to be a family provider, to the lack of emotional support that men may receive from family and friends, to the need to uphold a stable and societally masculine image, the pressure can be immense.

At Journey to Meaning, we have a heart for men’s issues and support men in seeking out therapy to discover greater possibilities of aliveness and confidence.

We will help you gain a better understanding of your wants and needs, heal any past wounds, and explore how you want to show up in the world, regardless of what society says.

How we help

We implement Evidence-Based Practices that have been proven by research to be effective, and we keep up with the latest industry practices.

We specialize in male-focused depression, anxiety, trauma and emotional regulation.

We’re sensitive to men’s issues that you may be struggling with, and won’t disregard anything that you feel is important, regardless of the dominant cultural narrative.

Many clients come to us for help with stage-of-life transitions, often during young adulthood when social expectations are at their highest and roles begin to change, and during middle age when there are new demands in career, child-rearing, and long-term relationships.

We understand the unique challenges that men face when it comes to changes in family dynamics, loss of a loved one, loss of a job or income, and many other abrupt changes that may happen over the course of your life.

Whatever your specific needs are, we have different forms of therapy under our belt to help you navigate this difficult time and tailor a unique treatment plan that suits your individual needs.

We offer couples therapy as well for those individuals who wish to develop a healthier relationship with their partner.

We also offer performance focused therapy for professionals, athletes or individuals who wish to performance at their best in their work, sport or everyday life.

Our work is trauma informed and culturally sensitive. We understand Men may process trauma differently, and this is why we take a trauma-centred approach to help you understand your history and find healing.

We would be honoured to support you on your journey. Please reach out today if you have questions.
