Men’s Therapy Group
Many men are carrying more than they let on: pressure to provide and perform, relationships that feel thinner than they want, a sense of disconnection from their own bodies and feelings. Most of us were taught to handle it alone. A men’s group is a place to set that down. Lean into your edge. Live more embodied. Speak your truth clearly, and find out what becomes possible when other men are actually in your corner.
What happens in the group
We meet weekly in person in downtown San Francisco. The group is small enough for everyone to be known, and ongoing, so the relationships deepen over time. In our sessions, we practice:
Speaking honestly about what’s actually going on, rather than the polished version
Noticing what’s happening in your body as you speak and listen
Giving and receiving direct feedback from other men
Working through conflict and difference without shutting down or blowing up
Building real accountability for the changes you say you want
My approach
I facilitate actively. I’ll invite you toward your edge: the feeling you’d rather not feel, the thing you’d rather not say, and I’ll support you in staying with it rather than retreating. My facilitation draws on Gestalt therapy, somatic therapy, and Core Energetics, a body-based approach that works with breath, movement, and energy. This is experiential work. It asks more of you than talking about your life, and it tends to give more back.

Frequently asked questions
I’ve never done group therapy. What if I don’t fit in? Most men arrive nervous, and most find that the nervousness is shared. You don’t need experience with therapy or groups. You need a willingness to show up honestly and to be curious about yourself.
Is what I share in the group confidential? Yes. What’s said in the group stays in the group. That agreement is part of what makes honest work possible, and we talk about it explicitly before anyone joins.
How long do men usually stay in the group? The group is ongoing, and men stay as long as it’s serving them. Many stay for a year or more, because the relationships and the practice deepen over time. I ask for a minimum commitment of three months, so the group has stability and you give it a real chance.
