Direct, grounded online psychotherapy for men across Massachusetts who are tired of playing the 'lone wolf' and living on autopilot.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor · Massachusetts
Sound familiar?
You've got the job, the apartment, maybe the relationship. People would call you solid. And yet you can stand in a room full of people and feel like you're watching it through glass.
When things get heavy, you don't talk about it. You shut down, grind harder, scroll longer, or have a few more drinks than you planned. It works, sort of, until it doesn't. Somewhere along the way you stopped knowing what you actually want, and you're not sure who you are outside of what you produce.
The guys you were close with in your early twenties have drifted. You've got plenty of buddies but nobody you'd call at 2am. Your relationship keeps hitting the same wall, and you feel yourself pulling away right when you should be leaning in. Nobody ever taught you how to build real brotherhood, or how to stay steady when someone needs you to open up.
None of that means something is wrong with you. It means you've been carrying it alone for too long. No man should have to do life alone.
Men. Can you relate?
IsolatedPlenty of buddies, nobody you'd actually call at 2am.
Shut downStress hits and you go quiet, numb out, or disappear into work.
On autopilotDays blur into months and you can't remember the last time you felt fired up.
Not enoughNo matter what you achieve, the bar keeps moving.
LostYou hit the milestones and still don't know who you are or what you want.
StuckThe same fight, the same breakup, the same pattern. Different year.
If you checked even two of those, it's worth a 15-minute call.
What clients say
Shared voluntarily, with permission. Initials only to protect privacy. Individual experiences vary.
Calm, composed, and offers great advice.
Wes is incredibly professional in his role. He is calm, composed, offers great advice and I feel very comfortable to express my needs.
Super thoughtful, understanding, and patient.
Wes is great: super thoughtful, understanding and patient. He also is young and easy to connect with!
Down-to-earth, empathetic, and an excellent listener.
Wes is down-to-earth, empathetic, and an excellent listener who meets me where I'm at each week. He's knowledgeable in therapeutic approaches but implements them naturally without it feeling forced.
I'm Wes. I'm a licensed therapist, a husband, and a dad, and my work is focused on men in their twenties and early thirties: the stretch of life where everything is supposed to come together and often quietly falls apart instead.
I know that stretch firsthand. At 25 I looked fine from the outside and was a mess on the inside. What changed things wasn't another book or podcast. It was doing the actual work, with someone holding me to it, and learning the emotional skills nobody had taught me growing up.
So you won't get a therapist nodding silently and scribbling notes while you sit under a microscope. Sessions with me feel like talking with someone who gets it. I'll be straight with you, bring some humor, notice the things you'd rather skip past, push when it's useful, and respect your pace when it isn't.
Therapy with me works more like training than venting. I use evidence-based methods rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), used naturally instead of read off a worksheet, plus real things to practice between sessions.
Existential therapy
Getting honest about meaning, identity, and the life you actually want. Especially useful when the old script stops working: after a breakup, a career shift, or a milestone that felt emptier than expected.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a modern form of CBT. Instead of arguing with every anxious or critical thought, you learn to unhook from it, get clear on your values, and take action anyway.
DBT skills
Skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, another CBT-based approach, for handling anger, stress, and conflict without exploding or shutting down. Concrete tools you can use the same week.
Trauma-informed care
Understanding how what happened back then shapes how you react now. We go at a pace that feels safe, and you stay in control of what we talk about.
Free 15-min call
No pressure, no pitch. We see if we click and if I'm the right fit for what you're dealing with.
Intake session
We map out what's going on, what you've tried, and what you want to be different.
Steady work
45-minute video sessions from anywhere private in Massachusetts, with real things to work on between them.
Focus areas
Most guys come in for one thing and find out it's connected to three others. These are the threads I see most.
Breaking the lone wolf mindset
Going it alone feels strong until it starts feeling empty. Most men were taught they don't need other men. We look at why connection got hard, what keeps you at arm's length, and how to build friendships that go deeper than sports and work updates.
Building real confidence
Not the fake-it, chest-out kind. The quiet kind that comes from knowing what you value and acting on it. We get underneath the inner critic, the constant comparison, and the patterns you inherited, so you can stop performing and start living.
Breakups, family & communication
The breakup you can't shake. The partner who says you never open up. The family stuff you thought you'd outgrown. We work on saying what you mean, staying present in hard conversations, and not repeating the same patterns.
Navigating your 20s and 30s
Graduating, switching careers, moving cities, getting serious with someone, becoming a dad. Big shifts shake your sense of who you are. We cut through the noise so you can make decisions with clarity instead of drifting or white-knuckling it.
Based in Medford and fully online, so it doesn't matter where in the state you are. I work with men in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Malden, Arlington, Quincy, Newton, Brookline, Waltham, Lowell, Worcester, Framingham, Salem, Springfield, and Cape Cod, and everywhere in between.

Using your HSA or FSA? Those cards work for therapy. Have out-of-network benefits? I'll give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost if you don't have insurance or are not using insurance. Ask for one before scheduling. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
Yes. I'm in-network with Tufts Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Mass General Brigham Health Plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is expected in November 2026. Self-pay is $165 for the intake and $150 per 45-minute session, HSA and FSA cards work, and I can provide a superbill if you have out-of-network benefits.
You need to be physically located in Massachusetts during each session, because that's where I'm licensed. That includes college and grad students living in Massachusetts while in school.
For the issues most men come in with, like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems, research shows video therapy works about as well as meeting in an office. It also removes the commute, which makes it a lot easier to actually show up every week.
We talk. No couch, no inkblots. I'll ask what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you want to be different. You'll leave with a clearer picture of the problem and a plan for how we'll work on it.
It depends on what you're working on. Some guys come in for a focused stretch of 8 to 12 sessions; others stay longer to go deeper. We check in regularly on whether it's working, and you're never locked in.
That's exactly what the free 15-minute call is for. Ask whatever you want, get a feel for how I talk, and decide from there. No pressure either way.
Fifteen minutes. No commitment, no sales pitch. Just a real conversation to see if working together makes sense.
