Psychotherapy for Men and Dads
Where men and dads come to talk about the stuff they can’t talk about anywhere else.
Welcome
John is a licensed psychotherapist serving clients in and around Boston, MA. He specializes in working with men and fathers as they navigate work and relationships that bring on feelings of stress, anger, depression, anxiety and loneliness. John believes that too many men go through life alone and need more connection, curiosity and compassion in their lives.
As a father himself, John is deeply passionate about supporting fathers and provides them with a comfortable place to talk about what ever is on their mind or heart. While working with clients, he incorporates an approach that encourages his clients to slow down so they can process and make sense of their thoughts and feelings; this helps them understand who they are, what they want and need and assists in making healthy decisions.
​
John is also the author of Becoming a Dad: The First Three Years, a book on fatherhood, which has sold more than 50,000 copies.
John was someone who helped me when I was feeling most vulnerable. He saw me through a lot of big changes in my life: losing my job, going back to school, becoming a father. John helped me learn about myself and understand what my anger was trying to communicate. He endured and patiently sat with my hurt underneath it all and taught me how to be compassionate toward myself and to others. I will always be grateful.
