Benefits of working with a male couples therapist

While there are fewer male therapists than female therapists in the U.S., there are many benefits to working with a male couples therapist.

  • Shared experiences: Male therapists often have a unique understanding of the challenges and pressures faced by men in relationships, providing a relatable perspective.
  • Increased comfort: Some men may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics with another man, fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship.
  • Different dynamics: A male therapist can offer a fresh perspective and approach to your relationship issues, potentially leading to new insights and solutions.
  • Positive modeling: For some couples, working with a male therapist can provide a positive model of healthy masculinity and communication.
  • Specialized expertise: Many male therapists have specialized training in areas such as men’s mental health, relationship dynamics, and communication styles.

What you learn in couples therapy

When you work with one of our male couples therapists, you can explore your relationship dynamics, improve communication, and strengthen bonds. We can help you and your partner explore the current state of your relationship, process things that have happened, and explore what your relationship looks like after major life transitions.

Using a variety of therapeutic techniques, couples can learn valuable skills that can enhance their relationships, such as:

  • Improved communication: Couples therapy can help partners develop effective communication strategies, including active listening, expressing their needs clearly, and resolving conflicts constructively.
  • Enhanced emotional awareness: By exploring their own emotions and understanding their partner’s feelings, couples can develop greater empathy and compassion for each other.
  • Increased intimacy: Therapy can help couples deepen their emotional connection and intimacy by fostering trust, vulnerability, and shared experiences.
  • Conflict resolution skills: Learning healthy conflict resolution techniques can help couples navigate disagreements in a productive and respectful manner.
  • Relationship enhancement: Couples therapy can provide guidance on building a healthy and fulfilling relationship, including setting boundaries, managing expectations, and nurturing each other’s growth.

The positive effects of men working with a male therapist

For many men, discussing personal challenges can be difficult. A male therapist, who often shares similar experiences and societal pressures, can create a more comfortable and relatable environment in couples therapy. In fact, many men prefer to work with a male therapist.

This shared understanding can foster trust and open communication, making it easier to navigate sensitive topics and explore deeper issues within your relationship.   

In many cultures, men are often expected to suppress their emotions and maintain a strong, stoic facade. Working with a male therapist can provide a safe space to challenge these traditional gender roles and explore healthier ways of expressing emotions. This can lead to greater self-awareness, personal growth, and improved relationships for couples in Denver.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our therapists

My Denver Therapy is one of the largest woman-owned therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested mental health therapists in the Denver Metro area. 

As a therapist-owned practice with decades of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients. Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in you.

Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works, our therapists provide consultation for other therapists and private practices in the Denver Metro area.

Our inclusive therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.

We know that clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists with different backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, and schedule to help you get started quickly.

We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. 

All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with  a commitment to your progress and growth.
