Male-Focused Psychotherapy for Men
Why Choose MMHI?
- collaborative, not judgmental
- structured, not vague
- focused on what’s happening in your life, not only on diagnoses
- understand how their internal reactions connect to conflict and disconnection
- develop language and tools for difficult conversations
- align their decisions with their values in relationships, work, and family
How It Works
Step 1: Book Your Intake Session
A paid 50–60 minute intake where we:
- explore what is bringing you in now
- clarify key patterns in your relationships, emotions, and behaviour
- discuss what you would like to work on over the next 8–12 weeks
- recommend a clinician who is a good fit for your needs
Step 2: Begin Weekly Sessions
You start regular online sessions with your therapist.
Sessions focus on:
- understanding your internal responses
- exploring how past experiences show up in the present
- practicing new ways of communicating and responding
- connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions more clearly
Step 3: Review & Adjust Over Time
We periodically review:
- what has felt helpful
- what feels stuck
- where you are noticing changes
Together, you and your therapist adjust goals and focus areas as needed.
No outcomes are guaranteed. Each person’s experience is shaped by many factors, including history, context, and engagement in the process.
Between-Session Support

Meet the Therapists
Introduce a short grid with:
- Name + designation (e.g., MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying))
- 1–2 lines on focus areas (e.g., men’s relationships, anxiety, trauma, separation, etc.)
- A neutral, non-promotional description of style (e.g., “direct but compassionate; structured and collaborative”)
If you’re a man who knows something needs to change — in yourself, your relationships, or the way you handle pressure — therapy can be a grounded place to start.
