Men's Issues

Support for Men Struggling with Work, Connection and Finding Success by Professionally Trained Therapists in Brentwood, TN

You Have Been Doing Everything You Can… and It’s Still Not Working

The effort you put into trying to achieve, get to the next level, or even figure out what you want life to look like so you can feel enough…it’s exhausting. As you look around there is always more you are being asked to do, whether that’s at work to move to the next rung of the ladder or maybe you don’t even know what ladder you want to be moving up. When you look at relationships with friends or significant others, you notice your efforts to try and connect and be happy are contingent on others being happy with you – and its an impossible space to be in to try and make others happy. You notice more and more the instinct to pull away, to get busy with things or distracted, to be consumed with TV or activities that feel good but maybe also make you feel more alone. You notice more and more your mood is low, you feel more dissatisfied with life and you don’t know what to do to change it. You try changing jobs, changing friends, doing something different in a relationship but nothing actually makes enough of a change to make you feel any different inside. You feel stuck.

Our Approach to Working With Men – It’s not all about Feelings and Mushy Topics but rather Working in an Intentional, Informed and Directed way that Make Sense

We know that even thinking about stepping into a counselor’s office can feel daunting for anyone. What will we talk about? Will I know what to talk about that will help me? Is it going to be uncomfortable and will I just want to leave? Counseling has so many different approaches and it needs to change based on the needs of the client. Many times, our therapists first need to listen to what the problem is in your terms to really understand the heart of the problem so we can approach the plan together with a common vision. If you are coming in wanting to figure out the problem and come up with solutions then we will need to approach this with a solutions focused therapy model. If you want to have better relationships that feel good to you, feel connecting and satifying, then we need to listen to what is satisfying to you that is missing in the relationships you have now and help you learn to seek those key aspects out with more success by trying out things first in the therapy room so that you have more success in the outside world. Just like in any sport, you start with the basics, practicing to use muscles you haven’t used before so that you don’t get hurt and you gain more traction in your ability to meet your goals.

Empowering You To Reach Your Own Goals - Leveraging Your Wisdom and Experience

You can do this work in a therapy room so that you can reach the goals you have for yourself, your family, your career. You can stay in the driver’s seat, just allow one of our therapists to hold the map in the passenger seat and help guide you toward a direction that you start to see real change in your life. Change you have been desiring for a long time but thought maybe that wasn’t the kind of life you get to have. We all have longings and desires and too often our own shame or negative self-talk tells us it’s never going to happen for us – this is just who I am. But what if that’s not true – what if it has never been true, you just haven’t had the right guide to help you take each step it takes to get you to meet your truest goals for yourself. We can help you at Cypress Counseling Group. With the right therapist, your life can get better.

The Future You Desire: Reaching For a Life You Deserve - Feeling Confident, Respected and Valued

As you move through counseling, some of the initial discomfort of sitting with a stranger talking about hard things starts to shift. You begin to trust this person and can talk more openly about what the real problems are like for you. This safe, confidential space, and this trusting person can help you begin to practice ways to be more authentically you with yourself and with others in your life. The change can feel dramatic and powerful – to be really seen and understood, maybe for the first time.
