Helping Hands Psychotherapy

We are often asked if we treat Men as well. The answer is a loud Yes!  

​​

Men's mental health is not overlooked here.  It is a crucial component of overall well-being. Men face unique pressures and expectations that can significantly impact their mental health- from societal norms around masculinity to the challenges of balancing work, relationships, and personal identity.

 

For fathers, these challenges can be even harder with the weight of family responsibilities and the changes that come with parenthood.

 

Fathers may experience their own set of mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and stress.  Did you know that 1 in 10 fathers experience a perinatal mood & anxiety disorder.  That's right, its not just the mom or the birthing person.  

​

Additionally, the transition into fatherhood can bring about feelings of isolation, guilt, jealousy, or a sense of inadequacy in managing the new dynamics of family life.

​

It is essential to recognize that fathers, just like mothers, need support and understanding during these life transitions.

 

Addressing men’s mental health and the father’s perspective in therapy creates space for emotional expression, helps break down barriers to seeking help, and promotes healthier family relationships.

​
