Group therapy provides a unique avenue to foster growth through community. It can show us that we are capable of building community and having healthy connections with others, which can in-turn inspire us to build that into our own lives. Members will strive to be vulnerable, openly share deeper emotional struggles, embrace individuality, and support one another to make difficult changes at a pace each man can tolerate.

  • Loneliness or alienation

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Upcoming or recent life transitions or changes

  • Substance abuse or over-use concerns

  • Struggles to form healthy relationships

  • Social and interpersonal anxiety
