Therapy for Men Who Carry a Lot and Want to Carry It Better
Practical, structured support for stress, burnout, anxiety, and relationship strain. Work with David Harris, LP-MHC.
A Space to Think Clearly, Lower Internal Pressure, and Show up Better
Many men come to therapy not because everything is broken, but because the load has become unsustainable. Stress often shows up as irritability, withdrawal, overthinking, or shutdown. It does not always show up as obvious sadness or big emotion. That does not mean something is wrong with you. It often means your system has been under strain for too long. Therapy here is practical and structured. We focus on lowering internal pressure, building steadiness you can maintain, and improving how you function in real life, including at home, at work, and in your relationships.
What this helps with:
Reduce burnout, anxiety, and constant mental load
Stay engaged in your relationship instead of shutting down or snapping
Build steadiness you can maintain under pressure
Therapy for Men, Grounded in Evidence
Treatment Grounded in Research
At A.J.B. Counseling & Psychotherapy, our work with men is guided by research on what actually predicts improvement in psychotherapy. We focus on clear goals, skill-building, and the practical conditions that help men engage and make use of therapy, especially under high stress.
Structured, Practical Method
This work is collaborative and direct. Sessions are organized around patterns that repeat in real life, including stress cycles, relationship conflict loops, overthinking, shutdown, and irritability. We identify the triggers, track the costs, and build tools you can use between sessions. The aim is steadiness you can maintain, not a temporary motivational spike.
Progress Tracking and Accountability
We keep the work outcome-oriented. You and your therapist regularly check whether therapy is improving the areas you care about, such as sleep, patience, decision clarity, conflict tolerance, and follow-through. If something is not working, we adjust approach rather than staying stuck in the same conversation.
Lasting Change, Not Performative Vulnerability
For many men, progress looks like fewer “pressure leaks,” less reactivity, more presence in relationships, and a greater ability to stay steady when life demands more from you. The goal is durable capacity, not simply insight.
Testimonials
“The friendliest, most caring provider I've met with after having a few poor experiences with past therapist. Chris really cared about what I had to say and asked really good questions that always made sessions engaging.”
“Adam is above all a wonderful person, who truly cares about improving the life of his patients. I am so glad I found Adam: he is a rare gem, an incredibly smart and approachable person. If you are lucky enough to work with him, I am certain you'll see rapid improvements, whatever your goals may be. I highly recommend Adam's practice.”
“Nathaniel has a gift for crisis intervention. In one of my darkest moments, he provided immediate support and tools to stabilize my emotions. His approach is compassionate yet effective. I'm so grateful!”
