Stress, Anger, Depression, and Relationship Counseling for Men in Tacoma, WA and online

You've grown up in a world where the message was that it isn't ok to wear your heart on your sleeve, boys don't cry, and to 'suck it up' or 'be tough' or 'be a man'. Therapy is no longer being seen as a cry for help, but a call to action -a strength-and competitive force in today's unpredictable world.

You’re stressed or depressed and it’s getting out of control.

You are trying to be a good man. You work hard. You take care of your family. You’d do anything for your buddies. But work stress, life stress, and relationship stress is all coming to a head. Your relationship is falling apart -or worse- already did. You spend so much time scrolling funny videos on your phone or watching porn that your thumb hurts and your eyes are sore. You’ve been drinking or ‘weeding’ more and it’s gotten you into trouble; wasting the next day, or fights with your guy/gal, or friends and family wanting to hang out less.

You know you’ve needed therapy for a while but have been avoiding it. You see that your stress or the way your dealing with it is making a dent in your relationship, affecting your family and friends, or your kids (those you have or those you may want one day). You don’t want to be a hermit. You don’t want to keep pushing people away. You don’t want to keep hiding your porn use, your drinking, or your stress. You want to stop yelling, stop fighting, stop feeling so down.

You want better stress management. You want to feel better. You want to feel in control again.

Hi I’m Katie, a relationship and trauma therapist in Tacoma, WA. I help good and kind men in Washington who are experiencing stress, anger, depression, and relationship issues. My clients often come in not even having the words to describe what they are experiencing. This is not uncommon, but it can feel pretty difficult to come into therapy and not even know what to say or how to start.

That’s why we start where you are. I use a variety of very effective tools that do not require you talk at first, if finding the words is difficult. We move slowly, and progress quickly. My clients say they feel better able to manage their stress, they feel less depressed and are happier in their relationships, they are able to understand themselves better, communicate better with their friends and family, have less arguments, better sex and intimacy, and even start getting into better physical shape because they are feeling better.

You can have less stress, better relationships, and understand yourself better.
