I am a psychologist that specializes in treating men. If you’re 18-80, I work with you. If you’ve got ADHD, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, career problems, you’re an ideal client. If you’ve served in the military, if you’re a first responder, police, firefighter, if you’re a lawyer, a doctor, a business owner, a coder, a gamer, an electrician, a carpenter, or if you drive a truck – I’m your guy.

I’ve had a few questions from folks recently about anxiety. “Hey Jay, I’ve got anxiety about [this]. What should I do?”
It’s really pretty normal for people to struggle with anxiety, but most people are so embarrassed and ashamed, that they mostly suffer in secret.
The National Institute of Mental Health has found that anxiety disorders are the number one mental health concern for women and second among men, only topped by alcohol and drug abuse. This works out to be roughly 17 percent of Americans or fifty million people. That’s a big chunk of America!
We have a choice. We can maintain the status quo and watch news of suicide, depression, divorce, and dissatisfied careers. Or we can choose to be different, by changing the way we think, speak, and act around issues of mental health.
