in-person l.a. group therapy: Redefining Masculinity

A therapy group for men and masc folks ready to trade silence and shutdown for connection, clarity, & emotional freedom.

You’ve done what you were told makes you “a man.”

You’ve pushed through. You’ve held it all in. You’ve been the strong one.

But if you’re here, maybe that version of masculinity feels more like a cage and you’re ready to find something new.

This group is a space to be free from the confines of traditional masculinity.

Toxic masculinity teaches disconnection.
From a young age, many men and masc-identified people are taught to stuff down their feelings, keep things light, and never show “weakness.” Anger becomes the only acceptable emotion. Tenderness is seen as a liability. Vulnerability? Off-limits. Over time, this can make it hard to even know what you're feeling, let alone express it to someone else.

If you're tired of always having to keep it together…
If you find yourself shutting down or checking out when things get hard…
If you feel like no one really knows you—or maybe you don’t know yourself anymore—
You're not alone. And you’re not broken.

These aren’t personal failings. They’re the consequences of a culture that disconnects men from their emotional lives and from each other. But healing is possible—and it doesn’t require you to become someone else. It just asks you to get honest. To get curious. To show up.

In this group, we don’t do emotional performance. We practice emotional presence. That means learning to recognize what you're feeling, naming it, and letting yourself be seen in it—all in the company of others doing the same. It’s not always comfortable, but it IS powerful.

There’s nothing inherently “unmasculine” about softness, self-awareness, or seeking connection. In fact, it might be the most courageous thing you do.

Redefining Masculinity will start in October 2025. If you’re interested in joining this group, please click the button to fill out the interest form below and we’ll reach out as the start date gets closer!

You don’t have to fix it first.

Bring the real stuff—whatever’s been bottled up. There’s room for it (and all of you) here.

If you've ever been told to “man up” when what you really needed was space to feel—this group is for you.

Did you know that research shows that group therapy can be equally as effective as individual therapy?

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is when a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a therapist to help one another. It provides a place where you come together with others to share problems or concerns, to better understand your own situation, and to learn from each other. Group therapy can help you improve your interpersonal relationships. It addresses feelings of isolation, aloneness, depression and/or anxiety, and helps you to make significant changes to improve the quality of your life.  The insights gained in weekly group therapy can support you to have more satisfying relationships, be more comfortable with yourself, with your feelings, with others, and in the other groups in which you participate every day.

Who Can Benefit from Group Therapy?

Like individual therapy, group therapy can benefit almost anyone. Members have the opportunity to discover how they think, why they react the way they do, and understand how they are perceived by others in the group. Members talk about what goes on in their lives outside the group, but also highlight what happens between members in the present moment, providing valuable feedback and learning by witnessing and resonating with each other. Our hope is that group members find healing and an increased ability to make conscious choices that impact how they feel in the moment. This supports members to learn about themselves and take interpersonal risks in the service of living their lives more authentically, more honestly, and more fully emotionally engaged.
