Therapy for Men at Positive Regard Therapy

A Space to Be Real, To Be You

Men are often taught to push through, stay strong, and handle things on their own. The pressure to always have it together can make it hard to acknowledge struggles, express emotions, or even consider seeking therapy. At Positive Regard Therapy (PRT), we know that men—whether straight, gay, bi, or queer—face unique challenges when it comes to vulnerability and mental health.

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold it all in or figure everything out alone. Whether you're navigating relationships, career stress, identity, or deeper emotional struggles, we offer a supportive, affirming environment where you can be honest about what’s really going on.

Many of the men we work with are unpacking not only personal challenges but also the messages they've received about masculinity, success, and emotional expression. For queer men, that can also mean processing the complexities of identity, relationships, and self-acceptance in a world that hasn’t always felt welcoming. No matter your background, we’re here to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Common Reasons Men Seek Therapy

• Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck

• Depression or low motivation

• Relationship and dating challenges

• Exploring identity or self-acceptance

• Career stress or burnout

• Processing past experiences or trauma

• Sexuality, intimacy, and body image concerns

• Struggles with vulnerability and emotional expression

What Therapy Looks Like at PRT

Our therapists take a down-to-earth, affirming, and practical approach to therapy. We understand that being vulnerable isn’t always easy, and we tailor our work to what feels right for you—whether that means deep reflective conversations or goal-oriented support. Therapy isn’t about fixing something broken; it’s about learning to show up for yourself in a way that feels real and meaningful.

If you’ve been considering therapy but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, we’re here to talk. No pressure, no judgment—just a space where you can explore what you need.
