Men’s Therapy
There is no stigma in seeking help, only relief from the burdens you are currently carrying alone.
From a young age, men are taught rigid masculinity – that is to be strong and to keep their emotions in check. This often leads to many men feeling isolated, anxious and depressed. The very emotions they should seek help for, they stuff down and “go it alone.” Bearing their emotional pain seems a better idea than opening themselves up to the stigma of seeking men’s therapy.
What are some of those most common mental health issues plaguing men?
- Substance abuse – Men are far more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs.
- Economic factors – Unemployment rates have skyrocketed, and many men sadly tie their worth or value into being the breadwinner.
- Bullying – Many young men are victims of bullying.
- Relationship issues – Believe it or not, studies have shown that men rely more on their partners for emotional support than women do. This can make relationship problems particularly hard to deal with.
- Challenges related to fatherhood – While it can be a great source of joy, fatherhood can also cause stress and anxiety, particularly for new fathers.
There is no denying that mental health issues manifest differently in men than in women, resulting in many going completely ignored and untreated. Often men minimize or don’t recognize their own emotional pain. This results in them bottling up their emotions, which often leads to a manifestation of a physical disease or illness, such as high blood pressure or heart disease.

Real Results From Fellow New Yorkers
"I was referred to Transformation Counseling Services because I wanted and needed to work with African American/Black counselors to help me process some of my thoughts after a car crash involving myself and my child. I highly recommend them to Black folk and folk of color but I see how their services are for any human who needs to process any aspect of their life to unclog or make clear issues that are rooted in trauma or traumatic experiences."

"I have been seeing Pia for 5 years and it has been the best decision I have made for my life. Starting therapy can be daunting (to say the least) and from day one Pia has made me feel seen, heard and supported. While I can’t see my life without her I also feel even more empowered and capable than when I started. The impact her practice has had on me has also translated to my family. As a child of immigrants I can see my parents changing as well which is one of the greatest outcomes so far. I highly recommend this practice and I can’t speak higher of Pia Johnson."
