Men’s Issues
Russ Webb - Insight Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, RPC, MPCC
There are many kinds of issues that might be considered a men's issue. Men have been acculturated differently than women. And many men have been acculturated in ways that lead to many kinds of problems. Acculturation is the process of what we have learned growing up from our families, teachers, coaches, peers, and even Hollywood about what it means to be a man. It places pressure and limitations on our lives in so many ways. Many issues then arise from this such as problems in our relationship with ourselves, negative thinking patterns, difficulties dealing with failure, inability to seek help or support, difficulty talking about feelings, not knowing how to process our feelings, difficulties knowing how to measure success in our lives, being unable to connect with other men in meaningful ways (and even our partners), and so much more. When men have experienced trauma (whether at work or in childhood, emotional, physical, or sexual) there can be intense pressure to try and contain it, control it, and push it out of their minds. These are all men's issues that can be helpful to address with another male to help break down the walls of isolation that so often can happen between men.

Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
As men, we've been expected to show up in a certain way our whole lives. Hold our feelings inside. Be the leader. Man up. Tough it out.
When we ask for help, we're told to "man up" or that we're "weak." When our mental health suffers, we're told to get our it together and shake it off.
It's no wonder the male suicide rate is 3 to 4 times that of women.
So many of us are struggling on the inside and never share that struggle with anyone. We suffer in silence. That is not the way forward. It serves no one.
It can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all alone. But together, we can overcome all of these barriers that are stopping you from living your best life. And I’d love to help you get there!

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with men's issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
It is my belief that there are genuinely no men's or women's issues, but a shared experience of living under the oppression of capitalism and patriarchy which keeps us all locked into our roles and cut off from valuable parts of self. Men may not have been taught to honour and communicate their emotions or embrace their capacity to nurture in the same way those raised as women have. In a world that is moving increasingly toward liberation for women, men are being called to change, but have very few role models or maps to help navigate this new terrain. It is my aim to provide support in unpacking the impacts of internalized patriarchy in moving towards a more authentic expression of self.
