Therapy for Men

Men’s Mental Health Matters

Even though rates of mental illness are similar between men and women, men are less likely to receive mental health treatment or a diagnosis.  Here at the Harmony Center for Change, we’re looking to work against the stigma or preconceived notions about men’s mental health, and we welcome you to give us a call if our services interest you!

Why Therapy for Men?

Some of the reasons that men state they are reluctant to seek mental health treatment include the belief that they can manage the problem, they don’t want to burden others, they’re embarrassed, they don’t want to appear weak, and the stigma is too strong. While these are valid beliefs, at the end of the day, they’re preventing men from accessing the services that will allow them to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

How Do I Get Therapy?

The first step in creating a life worth living for yourself is to be open and honest about what’s going on with you and reaching out for help. Mental health issues are manageable with the correct treatment, so seeking services is imperative if you’re struggling. At the Harmony Center for Change, we provide services for men that include individual therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and individual therapy specializing in depression, trauma, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ issues.
