Guys night: Next Gen
Young Men’s Therapy Group
Ages 18-25 • Every other Friday 5–6:30 PM • Highland Park, L.A.
A hangout for young men & masc folks who want real talk, genuine connection, and a place to be themselves.
Being a young guy in this world can feel really weird sometimes. The old expectations don't quite fit, and the new ones aren't always clear.
Whether you're figuring out friendships, dating, school, work, family expectations, masculinity, or the kind of person you want to become, this is a place to show up fully as yourself.
Guys Night: Next Gen is a bi-weekly gathering for young men and masc-presenting folks ages 18–25 in Los Angeles.
Part hangout, part therapy group, it’s a place for people who want real friendships, real conversations, and a place where they don't have to pretend they've got it all together. If you're looking for a therapy group for young men in Los Angeles, this is a welcoming place to connect with others who are figuring out life, relationships, identity, work, school, and what comes next.
Don't let the word "therapy" scare you. You don't need to know what to say or have everything figured out before you show up. Just come as you are.
What Guys Night: Next Gen Is Like
Every hangout looks a little different, but most guys come in carrying some version of the same things: stress from school or work, relationship stuff, pressure, anger, confusion, loneliness, or the feeling that everyone else has life figured out but you.
Most guys don't come because they want therapy. They come because they want somewhere they can be real. Most guys stay because it's one of the only places where they can be fully themselves.
During our gatherings, we talk about whatever's showing up in your life right now: the big things, the small things, the hard things, the funny things, and the things you don't usually say out loud. Some weeks the conversation goes deep. Some weeks it's lighter. Both are welcome.
There's no "right" way to show up.
We're here to talk about real life with real people—not to perform, impress anyone, or pretend we're doing better than we are.
Ask a question or scroll down to learn more.
You don’t have to fix it first.
Bring whatever's real. The stuff you've been carrying, avoiding, or trying to figure out.
There's room for it here. And there's room for you.
why guys join
Being a young guy right now can feel really confusing.
The old expectations about masculinity don't seem to fit anymore, but the new ones aren't always clear. A lot of young men and masc folks are trying to figure out who they are, how they want to show up in relationships, what kind of life they want to build, and what it means to be a good person in a changing world.
At the same time, you're expected to make decisions about school, work, dating, friendships, money, family, and your future—often without much space to talk honestly about how it's actually going.
People join Guys Night: Next Gen when they want:
deeper friendships
support navigating relationships and dating
less loneliness and isolation
help for figuring out their feelings and the vocabulary to talk about them
a place to talk honestly about what's going on
more confidence in themselves
support with stress, uncertainty, or life transitions
connection with other guys who are figuring things out too
You don't need to have everything figured out to join. You just need to be willing to show up.
For a lot of young men in Highland Park and across Northeast Los Angeles, Guys Night is the first place they've been around other guys who are having the same questions, doubts, and conversations they're having.
Real Talk, Not Performance
Guys Night: Next Gen is led by a therapist, but it doesn't feel like sitting in a formal therapy session.
There's no pressure to share before you're ready. No expectation that you'll have the perfect words. No need to impress anyone or pretend you've got everything figured out.
It's a place to talk honestly about what's happening in your life, hear how other people are navigating similar challenges, and build the kind of connection that's hard to find in most places.
Some weeks the conversation is deep. Some weeks it's funny. Some weeks it's both.
What We Talk About
Every hangout has its own flow, but most weeks guys bring in the real stuff that doesn't always have space anywhere else—the day-to-day stress, frustrations, questions, and experiences that so many young men and masc folks carry on their own.
We talk about things like:
Dating, sex, and relationships
Friendships and loneliness
Anxiety, stress, and burnout
College, career, and life direction
Family and cultural expectations
Confidence and self-worth
Identity, exploration, and belonging
The things you don't usually say out loud
And it doesn't have to be all deep stuff. Sports, music, weekend plans, memes, whatever's real for you can come into the room too.
As we get to know each other, we also explore how ideas about masculinity show up in our everyday lives, often in ways we don't even notice. Together, we talk about questions like: What does masculinity mean to us? How we want to show up in relationships? Which expectations about being a man or masc person actually fit (or don’t)? How do we want to navigate power, privilege, accountability, and allyship? And, what kind of people are we becoming?
Many young men are trying to figure out who they are while navigating changing expectations around masculinity, relationships, identity, and community. That can be exciting, confusing, liberating, uncomfortable, and sometimes all of those things at once.
We explore these questions in a real, practical way—not as a lecture or debate, but through honest conversations about life, relationships, identity, and the kind of life you want to build.
What Guys Often Walk Away With
A clearer understanding of themselves and what matters to them
More freedom from limiting expectations and outdated scripts
Better tools for navigating emotions, stress, and conflict
More confidence in relationships
Stronger communication skills
A more grounded sense of self
Connection with other guys who genuinely get it
Guys Night: Next Gen is ultimately about having a place to be real, grow alongside other people, and figure things out together.

Guys Night: Next Gen is led by Liam DeGeorgio, AMFT. Liam knows that being a young guy today can be complicated. Many people are trying to figure out who they are, how they want to show up in relationships, and what kind of life they want to build—often without many places to talk about it.
He brings a grounded, approachable presence to the group and helps create a space where you can be yourself, connect with other people, and explore what's actually going on without pressure or judgment.

Includes all bi-weekly group sessions.
One-time intake session: $160

What to Expect in Guys Night: Next Gen
Group therapy at Kindman & Co. probably doesn't look like what you're imagining. No awkward introductions. No pressure to spill your deepest secrets. No expectation that you'll be "good at feelings."
Instead, it's a real conversation.
You show up. You bring whatever's on your mind—a relationship situation, stress from school or work, something that's been bothering you, a question you're wrestling with, or something you can't quite put words to yet.
Liam helps slow things down, connect the dots, and create space for honest conversation between members who are figuring out many of the same things.
Some nights are deeper. Some nights are lighter. Most are a mix of both.
There's humor, honesty, curiosity, and very real moments where you realize you're not nearly as alone as you thought you were.
Over time, people find themselves communicating more clearly, building stronger relationships, understanding themselves better, and feeling more connected to the people around them.
No posturing. No perfection. Just real life with real people.

Guys Night F.A.Q.
-
Absolutely. Many guys who join Guys Night: Next Gen have never been in therapy before!
You don't need any experience, special insight, or ability to talk about your feelings. You just need to be willing to show up. Most people are nervous before their first session—and that's completely normal.
-
Nope.
Some weeks you might have a lot to say. Other weeks you might mostly listen. There's no pressure to share before you're ready, and no expectation that you have to speak a certain amount.
We hope that you’ll build safety as you get to know everyone and this will help you feel more comfortable sharing in the group. Your intake session with Liam also helps him to understand how to help you feel more comfy and what support you may need.
-
You're probably in good company.
Most guys weren't taught how to talk openly about what they're feeling, and nobody expects you to walk in already knowing how. Part of what makes this group helpful is having space to practice being honest, finding words for your experience, and hearing how other people navigate similar things.
-
Definitely.
Most people join on their own and don't know anyone else in the group beforehand. Part of the experience is getting to know people, building trust over time, and realizing you're not the only one going through what you're going through.
-
Usually, yes.
Guys Night: Next Gen is an ongoing group, which means new members can join throughout the year when there's space available. Reach out and we'll talk about whether it's a good fit and what timing makes the most sense.
-
Life happens!
We ask members to attend consistently because the group works best when people show up regularly, but we understand that school, work, travel, illness, and life events come up. If you need to miss a session, just let Liam know.
Our group fees are charged on a monthly basis to ensure your spot is held.
-
We aim to make the group accessible and affirming for young men, masc-presenting people, trans men, nonbinary folks, queer folks, BIPOC community members, and anyone shaped by masculine expectations.
We offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots, and our space is chosen with physical accessibility in mind.
If you have specific needs or concerns, reach out. We want to make this a place where you feel safe and welcome.
