Starting Therapy for men

What is therapy for men?

Therapy for men maintains a focus on the emotional and mental impacts of being a man in society, dealing with issues like the pressures of toxic masculinity and the traditional familial roles of men, among others. Thriveworks Abingdon therapists who specialize in treating men work to create a safe space for them to emote and care for their mental well-being without fear of judgment.

How does therapy for men work?

Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks Abingdon therapists will work with men to reach their therapy goals through self-reflection and introspection—uncovering specific emotional, behavioral, and mental patterns that are having a negative effect or are inhibiting personal growth and slowly working to change them over time.

Is therapy for men conducted in person or online?

Therapy for men at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does therapy for men last?

Therapy for men can last for a few months or occur over the course of years, often continuing until the client feels that their goals are met and their desired growth has been achieved. However, it will likely last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time it takes for the therapeutic process to take effect and bring about lasting change.

Counseling for Men — Therapists, Counselors, and Life Coaches in Bristol, VA

Men and women are equal in many ways, but sometimes they have very different needs in counseling. The same traits that make men strong and capable, can also hinder them when attempting to communicate and express their feelings.

The counseling needs of men vary from person to person. But there are some areas with which men struggle more often than their female counterparts. At Thriveworks Bristol, we understand the unique needs of men. We can help you understand your goals for therapy or counseling, create a plan for our time together, and then help you work towards personal progress.

Some areas of counseling that may be helpful for men include:

  • Life coaching
  • Career counseling
  • Sex addiction and sexual issues
  • Substance abuse
  • Marriage and family therapy
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Divorce recovery

This is just the beginning of the ways in which we have helped clients. You may be unsure of why you feel the need to pursue counseling, but simply feel stagnated in life, unable to even understand the source of your discontentment. We understand this feeling and have counselors standing by, ready to walk with you on this journey.

At Thriveworks Bristol, we often have appointments available for new clients within a week of your first call. Reach out to get started—or simply book online.

I highly recommend Trish! She is very helpful, kind, compassionate and excellent at getting down to the roots of the problem. I have made more progress with her than I have with multiple therapists in several different cities. P.S--EMDR therapy sounds totally crazy, but it has significantly helped me. Give it a try!

Dr Mike Pilcher took me under his wing and coached me through one of the biggest decisions of my life...opening a new business. At one point...well more than once...I felt like pulling my hair out and his calm demeanor and no BS approach really helped me get focused and confident. I was able to really pour on the steam and my business is doing well as a result. Dr. P is a great counselor and a man I respect. Call him...I still do to this day.
