Our Promise

Not your typical therapists office!

Our Promise

We promise to walk with you as you take each step of your journey. 


Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles and hurts, heal from your pain, to move forward in your life. 


RMC understands that men often express distress differently than do women. 


We appreciate that men will take the biggest steps when they are  comfortable and understand where you are asking them to go and why.
 

RMC understands that behavior is often not intended to cause harm to or  distress for others, but helps men understand what that continues to happen for them. 


RMC believes firmly  that men in our culture are in need of mentoring, honing and shaping which is achieved by working with by  strong, compassionate men. 
 

RMC uses strategies that make sense to men - straight forward, efficient, reflective, directive, and purposeful.  
 

You've found the right place.

Services in Detail

Counseling and Psychotherapy - In life, there are no one size fits all solutions : 

The RMC philosophy is to work collaboratively with you to identify your  untapped strengths and clarify those key obstacles in the way of you  finding greater success. We strive to facilitate your wellness,  happiness, and success in the most  efficient and effective ways  available. This is not to say that life's challenges and  curve-balls always have a simple cause or quick cure.  We learn more  every day about how biological factors, overall health, past  experiences, relationships, interpersonal skills, economic realities,  and environmental contexts all weigh in on your quality of life.   Many  of the obstacles you face today can  be altered and reduced through  contemporary intervention techniques and strategies. You've always known  yourself, your challenges and your dreams better than anyone.  Let me  outline some alternatives and we can then talk about which you believe  will maximize your wellness, happiness and success!
 

Teens  & Adults:
Today, everyone is facing challenges. Traditional talking therapies have  become more refined, shorter-term, and focused on finding a better  way.  What are those things that are interfering with your  relationships?  What role does the way you think about the issues play?  Are there behavioral strategies that individuals who are successful use  that you haven't tried? How are you expressing your needs to your  partner? What lessons that you learned as a young child are you holding  on to that don't serve you well?  The therapies integrated into  treatments that I offer include: cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal,  and psycho-dynamic.  Let's work together to find the right balance, a  treatment tailored to you.  
 

Men's Issues:
Contemporary society can be a confusing place for guys.  Our biology is  pulling for old ways of being while at the same time, we want to be  strong, supportive partners and fathers.  Research shows that men and  women often experience the same disorders quite differently.  Guys, if  it feels like a struggle and you want things to improve.  I'm someone  who really gets it.  Counseling isn't all about sharing your feelings,  there are things you can do today to improve yourself, your health, your  relationships, your job performance, and the level of success your  find.  It's a different way of thinking.  
 

Couples: 
My approach to working with married, dating and parenting couples  integrates cognitive, behavioral, experiential and family-of-origin  approaches.  Chose what's right for you and your partner, learn the  dance that only the two of you know.  If it hasn't worked well in the  past, let's restore the relationship to the level of magnetism that  brought you together.     

 

Evaluation and Psychological Testing: 

When you take your car in for service, it is reassuring that the  mechanic finds the problem through a diagnostic test.  Otherwise, you  are left with the mechanic's best guess.   Difficulties in mental  wellness can be similar.  For example, many mental conditions overlap  with or exhibit similarities with other diagnoses.  Also, you know how  descriptions of conditions are sometimes hard to distinguish from normal  life change stresses and typical developmental transitions.   If you  don't have a good sense of what the source of you or your child's  challenges are, let's talk about a tailored set of tests that I can  provide to help shed light on what seems to be the root of the  difficulties and obstacles as well as your natural tendencies that may  be underutilized.  The most common forms testing requested  are: difficulties with optimal performance, attention, learning and  behavioral problems.  Conditions like learning disabilities and  attention deficits are quite common and can cause so much unnecessary  struggle and distress.  When you know how best you or your child learns  and functions, you can set up situations for success!   I conduct  testing using a neuropsychological perspective, which means that the  goal of testing is to pick measures that map on to specific brain  areas (a.k.a., Broadman areas) associated with the cognitive functions.   When your brain is wired in a way different from the societal-norm,  cognitive symptoms and behavioral difficulties can signal that you work  best another way.  We can isolate problems with working memory (for  example) as opposed to attention or non-verbal processing difficulties  and clarify what will be most helpful moving forward. The stresses of  adult life can be similar.  Are the root difficulties best thought of as  depression, anxiety, social isolation, or misalignment of your  responsibilities with your goals.  Testing can be an aide in this  situation as well. Not everyone needs testing, but it is one more  powerful tool that is available to you through my practice. 
 

Consultations: 

I am baffled by the fact that some clinicians will  provide testing to clarify the source of difficulties but stop short of  working with folks at work and school contexts to make it all work.  I  do offer consultation services regarding individuals within my  practice.  Fees do apply. 


Training and Seminars: 

I also provide training and seminars to health providers, school staff, parent groups and community organizations on a variety of  topics.  A brief list includes: male subtype depression and paternal depression, the  latest in knowledge, testing, and intervention for behavioral  disturbances related to AD/HD, building father-friendly programs and services  and business environments as well as ways that  community programs can engage fathers.  I was also trained as a facilitator of  several fatherhood programs such as: Boot Camp for New Dads, the Caring  Dad's Program, 24/7 Dad, Inside-Out Dad, and the Nurturing Fathers  Program.
