Depression is NOT who are you, and it can get better if you’re brave enough to face it.
Life is full of difficult events that will challenge us, potentially even bringing us to our knees. There’s no reason to feel shame or guilt that you aren’t able to lift that burden on your own.
At OC Men’s Therapy, you can be assured that your struggle is not unique. Often times, there’s a stigma around men’s counseling that intensifies those feelings of low self-esteem and self-loathing that we should be strong enough to not need help.
The reality is most men suffer in quiet, alone and for years avoiding their pain through alcohol, substance abuse, exercise, pornography or becoming workaholics.
What most don’t realize is how their issues with anger is also a mask for depression.
Through our sessions, you’ll learn to understand where you’re depressive thinking comes from and how to feel more empowered and hopeful about your life. You’ll learn to feel better about yourself and learn new coping skills to conquer whatever life throws at you moving forward.
Therapy for men should be seen as no different than when you look for a trainer to build muscle. At OC Men’s therapy we are building resilient leaders who are looking to use their painful past as a strength. Schedule a time to talk with me.
