Selecting the "right" therapist can be tricky, and I hope the information I've provided will help you to determine if perhaps we might be a good fit.
Deciding to seek help from a therapist can be complicated.
Often the decision to do so is made reluctantly, after many unsuccessful attempts at managing difficulty on one's own.
Perhaps you are ambivalent about trying therapy because it is not clear what therapy really is or how it can help.
I get that.
I hope to demystify and simplify the therapy process to the extent possible.

What is Stress?
Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way.
When you sense danger-whether it's real or imagined-the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the "fight-or-flight-or-freeze" reaction, or the stress response.
The stress response is the body's way of protecting you.
When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert.
In emergency situations, stress can save your life-giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.

The stages of mourning and grief are universal and are experienced by people from all walks of life.
Mourning occurs in response to an individual's own terminal illness or to the death of a valued being, human or animal.
There are five stages of normal grief that were first proposed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her 1969 book "On Death and Dying."
In our bereavement, we spend different lengths of time working through each step and express each stage more or less intensely.
The five stages do not necessarily occur in order.

Many who struggle with perpetual low self-esteem experience the situation as something that they simply have to tolerate and bear-as if it were a chronic health condition.
The fact is finding the path to positive self-esteem is a skill people develop.

Men are far less likely to seek help than women, and they often delay getting help until there is a crisis.
Men are less likely to follow through with treatment recommendations by therapists and psychiatrists (GoodTherapy.org).
Help seeking can, in and of itself, lead to psychological distress as men are socialized to suppress emotions and to "need no one."
Men often experience inner conflict when it feels as if their attempts to live up to the standards set by society fall short.
Males may internalize stereotyped societal norms around gender ideals that are often contradictory, inconsistent, and unattainable.
