Men's Therapy in Seattle, WA
Many people who identify as male grow up being told that emotions are weakness...that asking for help means you’re failing...that logic alone should solve everything. These messages can deeply impact emotional development, self-identity, and connection with others.
At Clarity Counseling Seattle, we work with men - including cisgender, transgender, and nonbinary individuals with a masculine identity - who are ready to challenge those outdated beliefs. We know how hard it can be to reach out, especially when you're used to handling things on your own. But seeking support isn’t weakness...it’s strength. And developing emotional intelligence, self-trust, and deeper relationships can unlock a more authentic and satisfying life.
If you’re a man whose partner has said they feel like they’re doing all the emotional heavy lifting in your relationship, or if you’ve noticed tension but aren’t sure how to respond, you’re not alone. Clarity's founder was recently quoted in the New York Times about “mankeeping,” a term for the emotional labor that women are often expected to perform to manage the emotional lives of the men they love when in straight relationships. You may wish to read our blog to explore how this dynamic may be quietly affecting your relationships (and what you can do to shift it!).
The therapists in this group help men to build secure attachment, explore identity, develop empathy, and show up more fully in their relationships...with partners, friends, and themselves.
Men’s Therapy in Seattle and Online Across Washington
We help people who identify as male gain clarity, emotional range, and resilience. Whether you're navigating relationships, work stress, or identity questions, therapy can help you develop the tools, language, and confidence to live with more intention and less pressure.
Many men are taught to disconnect...from feelings, from intuition, from vulnerability. In therapy, we help you reclaim those inner resources so you can move through life more grounded, open, and connected.
What Men’s Therapy Can Help With
We work with clients navigating challenges including:
- Depression, stress, and anxiety
- Relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns
- Emotional unavailability and attachment issues
- Parenting, career stress, or life transitions
- Anger, irritability, or emotional shutdown
- Shame, self-doubt, and inner criticism
- Masculinity and identity exploration
- Male loneliness and friendship struggles
- Sexuality and gender expression
- Trauma—childhood, relational, or systemic
- Consent, emotional labor, and communication in relationships
- Work-related pressure, especially in tech or leadership roles
- Infidelity and trust repair
Therapy with Men, Done Differently
We take a holistic, affirming approach. Our therapists understand how attachment forms, how intuition gets quieted, and how masculinity norms often cut men off from the very tools they need to thrive. We teach the skills to express needs, regulate emotions, and show up with care, presence, and consent.
Whether you're new to therapy or returning with fresh goals, we’ll meet you where you are...with respect, insight, and no judgment.
Therapists Who Understand What You’re Carrying
Our team includes LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed therapists trained in evidence-based models like the Gottman Method, where we often focus on bids for connection as a starting point. We understand the terrain men often navigate - silence, isolation, pressure - and we’re here to help you build something different.
