Men’s Issues

I offer individual counseling for men who experience, and wish to do something about any or all of the following concerns:

  •  I feel isolated from myself, my partner, family, friends, and my community.
  •  I feel disconnected from my hopes, desires and passions.
  •  I find myself avoiding conflicts that are important to me.
  •  It is difficult for me to notice, identify and express what I feel.
  •  It is difficult for me to experience, contain and manage what I feel
  •  I am often overwhelmed by anger, sadness or grief 
  •  It is difficult for me to trust others.
  •  I wish to have more energy, enthusiasm and vitality in my life.
  •  I want to be a better father, son, partner, brother, friend.

I have worked with Don Waxman for almost two years and find him to be the most effective therapist I have ever used. Don has the ability to be empathetic and directive in a way that works for me. His use of somatic tools with me has been dramatic in my self exploration and healing. He is very knowledgeable and creative and has a great set of tools to help you get to your goals.

I recently spent several months working with Don to address personal behaviors and issues that I thought I could just take care of on my own. After years of attempting self-control and saying I won’t do that again, I finally realized I was kidding myself. I needed help.

My initial contact with Don on the phone was warm and welcoming, but I was still nervous and embarrassed to meet with him and open up about my problems. From the very first minute of our first session together, Don made me feel comfortable and safe. I left our first session with tools that helped me make an immediate positive impact in my relationships with my teen-age children and myself. It wasn’t long before Don was able to have me seeing things differently. I learned that my struggles and issues were normal. He helped me understand that my relationships weren’t bad, rather it was how I interacted in those relationships that needed improvement. Working with Don over the next several months on understanding my relationships and helping me change the way I interacted in those relationships was an amazing time of transformation for me. Today I enjoy significantly improved relationships and have a whole new appreciation for the people I interact with. Don was able to provide several different methods and techniques that helped me achieve my goals.
