First therapy, in a room fifteen minutes from your house.
The Long Beach version of my therapy for men page. What it adds is local: how men in this city tend to arrive, and what the practical business of walking into the office actually involves.
The main page is where I describe what working with men actually involves, and why I do not treat a man’s reluctance to be here as a character problem. Read that for the reasoning.
This page adds what is true about doing it in Long Beach: the particular way men in this city are held together by being useful, and the practical detail of a first in-person session at the Park Ave office.
Nothing has to describe you perfectly.
What it costs and what it involves.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes at $185, in person at 192 Park Ave or by video anywhere in California, with a sliding scale between $170 and $225 when the fee is the barrier. Private pay, and I do not work with insurance.
Se habla español. Sessions run in English or Spanish, and men who grew up speaking Spanish often find the difficult sentences arrive more easily in it.
Free 15-minute phone consultation, and it is a phone call rather than a form. You can ask what you want and decide nothing.
Mostly from men who have never done this before.
