MEN

Therapy can help you feel more supported and less alone. 
Learn that asking for help is okay and normal. Discover how
personal identity is linked to work in men and how high
potential for anxiety and depression can result from being
too identified or consumed with work. Culturally, men are
so linked and tied to achievement and work performance
that it is not uncommon for men to feel lost outside of
their work or without employment. In fact, some men
really struggle with not knowing who they are when not
working; for example, some doctors and attorneys,
athletes and actors, become so over-identified with their
work, that issues related to job injury, job loss due to
unemployment, or inevitable retirement can generate
powerful but negative feelings of loss and identity, with
consequences of anxiety and depression. Professional
understanding of these dynamics can aid men greatly to
widen their knowledge of themselves and their lives, in
and outside of their work, thus greatly decreasing the
potential for anxiety and depression.

WOMEN

Similar issues for women related to loss and identity can
surface around the experience of being a mother, as an
unplanned pregnancy, or a miscarriage can trigger unfinished
business about the meaning of maternity for women as
expected mothers, with their mothers. Therapy helps to
increase and widen understanding of women and their roles
at home and work, in a supportive and healthy context.
Often women report in therapy that they socialize and feel
supported in ways similar to their interaction with friends. Plus,
discover how therapy can increase women's understanding of
men and their needs in relationships. Finally, understand how
men's roles and women's expectations for men at home have
changed and shaped women's current perceptions of
relationships and marriage.
