Men’s Mental Health

The Manliest Men Know When to Ask for Help

There is a lot of stigma surrounding therapy in general, but men especially struggle to make the decision to work with a therapist. We understand that you may feel out of your depth or worried that people will judge you, but if you’re having a tough time in any aspect of your life—personal, professional, or familial—therapy can be an excellent resource. It can help you manage challenging situations, improve your overall mood, and live a more satisfied and fulfilling life. Men’s mental health is important, and this page offers a starting point for learning more about therapy options in the Greater Houston Area—or you can reach out to our team directly.

What To Expect During Therapy

We know—on TV and in the movies, therapy is often portrayed as a cry fest or a place where someone judges you for your choices. When you visit Greater Houston Counseling Services, you’re entering a judgment-free zone. While we welcome your emotions and encourage you to express them in whatever way feels right, you probably won’t be turning on the waterworks every week either. Especially when it comes to men’s mental health, we know that every person’s experience with therapy is different. Our therapists use evidence-supported approaches that are proven to make a difference. You’ll work with your therapist to set meaningful goals and learn the skills to reach them. Over time, you’ll build strategies to help you navigate whatever life throws your way.
