Therapists in California

I believe men face unique challenges and societal pressures that can often lead to emotional and psychological distress. I specialize in helping men explore a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, societal expectations, work related stress, masculinity norms, and substance abuse. Even though I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients, I have dedicated my career to helping men overcome these challenges and improve their mental health and overall well-being. In this day and age, it can be extremely isolating and frustrating to live as a man. Let me help guide you to living the life that you want.

Depression. Anxiety. Low self-esteem. Relational issues. These are common issues that people face when it comes to mental health challenges, which are enough to make life difficult. Chances are your relationships and most importantly your relationship with yourself have been greatly impacted by these factors. There’s this sense that something has to change, but you might not know where to begin. Together we embark on this journey of uncovering just how you got here and discovering where you want to go.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience. As a therapist, I’m not here to judge you or tell you what’s wrong. Instead, I am here to help you uncover your hidden strengths and harness those abilities to address any challenges or roadblocks you may face. You don’t have to do it alone; we can walk this path together.

You feel overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s crashing and burning. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started, but you do not feel the same. You got here because you know something is off. But you do not want to stay this way. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work and life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy and ready to tackle the days. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want to be full of life. You want the fire back. You came to the right place. I help guys just like you get the fire back and get back to life!

Fabrice Paracuellos

I view therapy as being invited to explore ourselves in a welcoming way with someone with kindness who shares knowledge about how we function as humans, so we can gain an understanding for how we have functioned, what we need to thrive, and then thrive. This is self-worth and mastery. And with it comes our being more loving toward toward others and toward ourselves.

Like water carving rocks, we are shaped by our surroundings and where we come from. I grew up in rural Alaska surrounded by a vast expanse of towering mountains and large glacial rivers. I worked for many years as a wilderness guide, experiential educator and wilderness therapist. Dramatic seasonal changes in light, temperature, and landscape taught me that stillness exists within the extremes. I work from a perspective that combines modern neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, internal family systems, eco therapy and eastern mysticism. Among other things I am a father, carpenter, adventurer and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP). Please feel free to reach out for a free 15 min consultation through my website.

My approach is one that allows all of you to show up in the therapy room. Anxiety, depression, overthinking, difficulty connecting in relationships, shame… all these things can impact our ability to live our life to the fullest. So much of the cultural messaging around masculinity centers around avoiding vulnerability, and avoiding difficult emotions. By being present to what is actually here, we are much better equipped to choose how we want to show up in our lives. Talking with someone, especially as a man, can feel difficult, and I strive to provide an environment that feels comfortable, safe, and real. Reach out for a free consultation.

Many difficulties stem from our relationships, with both ourselves and others. My work with men is direct, yet warm, empathetic, & understanding. Together we navigate how to process the blocks obstructing your view & ability to move forward. We will explore life events from the past, as behavior patterns emerge in the here-and-now. As this self-awareness develops, clients can lead more joyful & connected lives. I cater sessions to each unique individual using real-life examples & the material you provide to deepen your own understanding of YOU. Complimentary consultation visit is available to all prospective clients. AJ is employed & supervised by Marina Chatterton, LCSW #26126

Being a man never came with a manual. No sense of direction led to feeling lost, confused, stressed, not understood, and even angry. You just want to feel heard by someone who gets it, while taking impactful steps to create the life you’ve wanted for so long.
I coach and mentor you to create the masculinity you seek. I make therapy a space to workshop new perspectives, and forge newfound resiliency. I lead a path to find strength in compassion, kindness, and composure.
I know how hard it is, as a man, to admit you need help. Even more so to ask for it. I won’t judge or criticize. You can thrive with a men’s issues therapist who wants nothing more than to help you be all that you can, and more.
