Trauma is often associated with major negative events such as war, assault, or witnessing or experiencing situations that threaten one’s life. The intense reactions to such events may lead to a diagnosis of PTSD. However, trauma is not limited to these experiences.

Many men experience a deep, collective struggle in defining their role and sense of self. Societal and cultural pressures often emphasize the need to provide security—for themselves, their partners, and their families—leading to feelings of isolation, self-doubt, and a sense of diminished worth. The belief that value is tied to performance can create internalized stress, making it difficult to seek support or express vulnerability.

As a result, men may turn to avoidance, suppressing emotions and struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, and low self-worth. Our therapy approach provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these challenges, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting.
