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 Austin 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.
Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks Austin 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.
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.
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 have a great deal of demands on their time. Work, family, friends, health; the list can go on and on. At times, the stress of daily life can be simply too much to handle. Work is not going well, there is fighting at home, and you seem to be just losing control of all the things you care about in life. Men are often expected to be strong and silent. While this can be helpful for resiliency, it can also create communication problems and a lack of coping skills. Whether the daily challenges of life are causing you to consider counseling, or you are dealing with a serious trauma or psychological issue, we are here to help.
Thriveworks counselors can help you press the pause button on life. We can help you find perspective and patience for the challenging times. We have counselors that are skilled and experienced in helping men with many different issues. Addictions, grief counseling, career counseling, life coaching, couples counseling and divorce recovery are just some of the specialties that are helpful to men. We will match you with a counselor that is well equipped to deal with your particular need and place in life.
Many counseling offices operate with long waiting lists. Thriveworks is different. We understand that it can be overwhelming to make that first phone call for help. When you call us for the first time, we have appointments available within 24 hours. We are ready to help when we are needed.
