Find Your Psychologists NJ (New Jersey)

Asking for help, validation, and support is increasingly normal and common. But it is often harder for men.

We are fathers, husbands, the guys… we are often expected to provide financially, support emotionally, lend a hand, fix that thing. Many of us were raised with the idea that men don’t cry. We are supposed to be Don Draper—strong, stoic, self-sufficient. Manly.

Men tend to be lonelier and more alienated. When did Saturdays are for the boys become Saturdays are for the chores? Medical science tells us it is unhealthy to live in this way; it shaves years off our lifespan.

So how about we don’t!

Every Wednesday at 6pm we gather for our men’s discussion group—led by yours truly—and talk. I don’t promise specific topics but I do know that we will be talking about our lives and our friends; about sex, our partners, and kids, economy and politics. We will be sharing (hence the confidentiality rule) some deep stuff and also shooting the shit. We’ll have a good time, in other words. I will be happy to share what I know about sports, nutrition, parenting but I would also be equally happy to hear what you know and what you care about. Come join us!
