Counseling and Therapy for Men – Therapists in Colorado Springs
Men of all ages and ethnicities are less likely than women to seek help. Why is this? There is no biological reason, of course. Do men have fewer conflicts, frustrations, depression or anxiety? Of course not. Maybe society to blame for men not getting help? Traditionally, society demands men to be independent, tough and unemotional. Studies have shown that two thirds of outpatient appointments are with women. This inability or reluctance in men to get help will affect a man’s mental and physical health, their relationships and careers. This is clearly a problem!
We recognize the historical, social and cultural factors that go into a man deciding to seek counseling. We work to normalize counseling, similar to a physical checkup, or having dental work done. Counseling and life coaching is also preventative, such as seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. Talking with a counselor prior to, during or after a life adjustment can prevent negative coping habits and keep people feeling well and achieving their best.
