Welcome to “No Shame, Man,” a platform dedicated to breaking the silence around men’s mental health. Led by a therapist deeply committed to this cause, our mission is to help men acknowledge their struggles, embrace vulnerability, and find the courage to seek support. Whether you’re ready for therapy or just exploring resources, we’re here to guide you on your journey to mental wellness.
Thank you for visiting the “No Shame, Man” platform to learn more about this pivotal campaign that I am so passionate about. As a man and a therapist that not only treats other men, but also the women that love them, I have experienced firsthand the effects of today’s man pushing his mental health to the wayside.
As we navigate our lives through an unprecedented global pandemic, the impact of stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns can be seen within millions of men nationwide. Though a recent KFF poll, stated that nearly half (45%) of adults in the United States reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the COVID-19 virus, another poll with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that men with mental illnesses are less likely to have received mental health treatments than women in the past year yet we are more likely to die by suicide than women. This is a critical concern when the ramifications of these studies are applied to our everyday lives.Many men are struggling.
Many men feel lost and adrift knowing they could make so much more of their lives. And many men don’t know how to ask for help or acknowledge that there is a concern that needs to be addressed by a mental health professional.
By creating the “No Shame, Man” campaign, I wanted to let men know that it is OK to not be OK. I know that at times it is easier to numb yourself to the realities of what is going on within yourself with drugs, alcohol, sex or even your career, but under numbness is something invaluable to us; pain. Pain, whether at a low hum or a giant roar, is the beginning of our true growth. “Our life grows or shrinks in proportion to our courage,” and vulnerably understanding your pain is courageous.So, thank you again for taking the first step towards your mental wellness. Myself and my highly trained staff are available to support you along this journey through in-depth psychotherapy work. For those that are not ready for that aspect of your healing, that’s fine!
