Mental health issues affect people of all genders, but men often face unique challenges when it comes to seeking help. The stigma surrounding mental health can prevent men from getting the support they need. However, the benefits of therapy and mental health coaching are clear. As a board certified mental health coach with training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, I want to encourage men to take control of their mental health.
The statistics show how common mental health issues are among men:
1 in 8 men will experience depression during their lifetime.
Over 6 million men in the US experience depression each year.
Suicide rates are 3.5 times higher for men than women.
Despite these numbers, stereotypes about masculinity and strength cause many men to avoid addressing their mental health concerns. They may see it as a sign of weakness or feel uncomfortable expressing emotions and talking about problems. However, ignoring issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction can allow them to worsen over time.
My mental health coaching provides a bridge between male clients and professional therapy. As a coach, I offer a judgment-free space to talk and gain clarity. Through CBT techniques, I help clients examine their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find solutions. Together we develop customized strategies and tools to manage mental health more proactively.
The benefits of this approach include:
Developing a clearer understanding of your mental health needs
Exploring emotions and experiences in a confidential setting
Learning new coping strategies for life’s challenges
Feeling empowered to make positive changes
Getting support and guidance along your mental health journey
With mental health coaching, men can take action to improve their wellbeing in a practical, stigma-free way. My goal is to provide a comfortable entry point to start chipping away at those stereotypes and build motivation for a mentally healthy life.
