Therapy for Depression and Men
JAKE MAXWELL, MA
Go from overwhelmed to equipped
I can help you overcome depression and relationship issues to experience a more fulfilling life.
You often feel stuck in a rut, unable to understand yourself and express your feelings. In your relationships, you long to experience genuine connection, but find yourself disconnected and unsure of yourself.
Sometimes it all becomes too much and you “check out”. You notice yourself wanting to lash out in frustration but instead withdraw to be alone, to numb the pain. You realize this way of coping just isn’t working anymore.
You wish you could relax without having to escape. You want to make decisions that feel aligned with your values, express yourself more openly, and engage in more meaningful relationships. You want to feel free to be yourself.
I can support you in getting there. Together, we’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. We will learn to identify and express your emotions, discuss the reasons behind your tendencies, and help you to gain insight into yourself and your experiences. By engaging in this work, you will be able to better understand your experiences, learn to recognize and regulate your emotions, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate conflicts to foster more meaningful relationships.
This will equip you to navigate your life with strength. You’ll be empowered to make positive changes, live more authentically, and pursue a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
You’re ready to take the first step towards embracing a more fulfilling life. I’m here to help. Schedule a call with me today, and let’s begin this journey towards positive change.

How much do sessions cost?
My fee is $175/session. I occasionally can accommodate sliding scale appointments. I offer super bills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Call our care coordinator with any questions about fee.
What kinds of problems do you help with?
I help people with depression who want to feel engaged and empowered. They usually don't feel like themselves, and have trouble with relationships, sleep, motivation, and self-criticism. I help them learn new ways to cope and overcome difficult experiences.
What do you like about being a therapist?
I appreciate the opportunity to meet people on their unique journeys of self-discovery. Whether it is in the midst of difficulties, just seeking deeper understanding of themselves, or whatever brings them into therapy, I consider it an honor to hold space for their experience and come alongside them to allow time to really engage and pause during their busy lives.
