Therapy for men FAQs

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 Blacksburg 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 Blacksburg 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.

Men’s Issues Counseling in Blacksburg, VA

If you’re wondering, “How could I benefit from counseling?” A handful of benefits for men can include:

  • Tools to help you handle problem situations, such as arguments with your partner, etc.
  • A great therapist who is understanding, supportive, non-judgmental, and can relate to YOU.
  • Confidentiality and acceptance. We understand and appreciate that some things are difficult to talk about, even to your family, friend, pastor or priest.
  • A good chance at a happier, emotionally healthier life.

You’ll gain a highly skilled, well-trained Thriveworks counselor to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your relationships, your job, your family and more.

But Aren’t Men Supposed To Be Strong?

Recognizing the problems in your own life and looking for a place to get help is not a sign of weakness. We help our clients meet men problems head on with straightforward advice and proven solutions.

Don’t let yourself stay stuck. If you are struggling with any of the problems on the list above or any other issues in your life, it is time to reach out for help.

So . . . Guy Centered Counseling?

Many men grew up thinking that it wasn’t ok to show emotions, or to experience emotional pain. But we now know that holding in our pain only makes it worse, and can even contribute to problems in our personal life, relationships, family, work, and more.

Here at Thriveworks, we don’t like to see so many men struggling silently and alone. Our counselors know that men suffer from depression, anxiety and the other emotional concerns, and that these issues can be treated effectively with counseling. Our therapists want to help men experience fulfilling lives where they’re able to thrive.

Counseling is a proven and time-tested way to address anxiety and depression, and counseling geared to men is especially effective in helping guys improve their quality of life! Your Thriveworks counselor wants to help you feel better about yourself and your life. All men face emotional concerns at some point – don’t let these struggles control your life and happiness. Counseling for men works!

What Exactly Can You Help Me With?

Do you have a problem that’s affecting your ability to function or enjoy your life? Is it even costing you jobs or promotions? Are your relationships suffering? Whatever it is that’s troubling you, it’s important to get help. No matter what issues you’re facing, our caring therapists are here to help. They have years of experience and expertise in helping men just like you with a wide variety of issues and concerns. Some of the men’s problems that we see most often include:

  • Relationship Issues
  • Improved Communication Skills
  • Infidelity (you OR your partner)
  • Marriage, Separation, Divorce
  • Substance Abuse, Addictions
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Anger Management

Anything Else??

Actually, yes, there’s an added benefit to starting and continuing with therapy! I’m sure you don’t need anyone to tell you that statistics show you’re spending almost as many hours at work as you do at home. Maybe even more. But know this: The time you spend working can have a huge impact on your well-being, emotionally and physically. Job-related problems are a great reason to go to counseling.

What’s Therapy Like? How Long Will I Need To Go?

Don’t worry. You’re not going on trial. The process is much more informal/casual than you might expect.

Your Thriveworks therapist will do their best to help you feel comfortable so you’re able to express your concerns in your own time, in your own way. You’ll find a safe, non-threatening environment where you’ll be able to get the help you’re looking for.

As for the duration of your therapy, it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all situation. Some people only need to attend for 2 or 3 months, while others remain in therapy indefinitely.

At Thriveworks, we generally recommend 12 to 15 sessions. Depending on your specific individual issues and concerns, the duration of your therapy may be more or less than that.

At any rate, even when you feel you don’t need to attend therapy any longer, it’s recommended that you keep the Thriveworks phone number in your contacts!

Most men find it very helpful to “check in” with their therapist every few months, just to touch base.

The Ball’s In Your Court!

Now it’s up to you! Take control of your own emotional well-being, and do something to improve the overall quality of your life. You can thrive, and we can help.

Call us at 540-376-3348 to schedule an appointment or schedule a session today to get started.

I am enjoying my new counselor. Barring any unforeseen incidents, I hope to continue seeing her to work on all the issues I have. So far she has had many excellent ideas. I just have to implement them and I am having a hard time doing that because changing is difficult. But she’s incredibly patient and continues to remind me what my goals are and how I need to get there. She is extremely nice, compassionate knowledgeable and expresses her points and advice clearly.
