Therapy for Men in Utah
You are a man that doesn’t fit the Utah mold.
You don’t feel like you fit in. Despite trying hard to be a good person, and doing well in school and at your job, you beat yourself up for some of the choices you’ve made. You have close family and friends who seem to care about you but there are some things they don’t know about. As a man, you’ve been given the message that you don’t talk about your feelings unless it’s being angry and pissed off. Men feel other things too but that’s never been shown to you.
You’re seen as a strong man. You are reliable and someone people can depend on. Maybe your wife or girlfriend has told you that they never know how you’re feeling and would like to connect with you more emotionally. Whatever that means. In these types of conversations, you often find yourself shutting down and feeling confused about what they want from you.
Maybe you’ve grown up LDS, you feel like you should have all the answers but you don’t. You don’t. You feel lost, and if you’re being honest with yourself, pretty lonely too. Some of the men that I work with have served LDS Missions and found that it wasn’t what they hoped it would be. It wasn’t the best time of your life like others said it would be. You feel ashamed for how you feel and feel like it’s your fault. You’ve heard other people talk about how incredible their missions were but it wasn’t that way for you. You may compare yourself to others who did have a great experience. Maybe your mission ended up being painful and disappointing.
Sometimes even admitting to yourself how you feel is tough. It seems like everyone else has it together and just wouldn’t understand. However, pretending everything is fine only works for so long. Therapy for men might help.
Therapy is for men too.
I know you’ve heard and been given the message that guys don’t talk about their feelings, and honestly, maybe you don’t even know how. I want you to know that I want you to find the solutions you are looking for. I know you’ve been trying to deal with things on your own, and this hasn’t really worked.
My clients are looking to overcome some of the experiences that have hurt them. They have told themselves those things aren’t a big deal but that doesn’t seem to change the pain they feel.
Common reasons men go to therapy:
You want to feel better about yourself
Need solutions to the things you’re struggling with
Want to have better relationships
Don’t want your past experiences to impact you so much
Understand yourself better
Be a better husband, boyfriend, or father
You might not know many men that are talking about going to therapy. The idea of therapy might sound uncomfortable and not something you ever thought you would try. My goal for you is to help you get closer to being the kind of man you want to be. Working with a men’s therapist can help you find the solutions and answers you’ve been trying to find so you can be more confident in who you are. I assure you there are many men that go to therapy and find it helpful. I’ve been there myself. I’m not going to shame you for the choices you’ve made or how you’ve handled things.
Marcus Hunt Therapy’s approach to therapy for men
My goal for you is to help you overcome the things that might be holding you back. I know you’re used to handling things on your own but my clients have shared therapy that has helped with:
Feeling more content and confident
More openness with their partner
Having more tools to cope
Improving their overall wellbeing
Being calmer in stressful situations
We’ll meet for your initial intake session to get an idea of what your goals are and how I can help. I love helping clients who want to want to dig in and do the work regardless of what it takes. What we talk about in therapy is 100% confidential. Nobody even has to know you’re coming to therapy. The privacy you value is always respected. The pace of therapy and what we work on will be up to you but I’m genuinely excited to help you find solutions to the problems you are experiencing.
What’s stopping you from working with a men’s therapist?
I get that part of your struggle is that you’re already feeling overwhelmed by all that you have to do, and it’s hard to imagine taking more time out of your busy schedule to think about going to therapy. I totally get it and don’t blame you. I offer online therapy in Utah as a way to offer more convenience to your schedule. This means you can have a face-to-face therapy session with a therapist without having your home or office.
This also means if you are located in Heber City, St. George, Cedar City, Salt Lake City, or Logan, Utah I can work with you through online therapy.
