Sound familiar?
You're good at carrying things. At work, at home, for your team and your family. The problem is that nobody built you a place to set any of it down.
- You're the one everyone leans on, and there's nobody you lean on.
- You're short with your wife or kids and don't fully know why.
- You've hit the goals and still feel restless, flat or angry.
- You're going through a divorce, a career change or a loss, and handling it alone.
- You'd rather fix a problem than talk about it, and this one won't get fixed.
Direct, practical, and on your terms.
We talk about real situations: the fight last night, the decision at work, the thing you haven't said to anyone. The work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential therapy. TJ is a former collegiate athlete who spent nearly a decade in corporate finance before becoming a counselor. He knows what it's like to be good at grinding.

The Warrior in the Garden.
A 12-week virtual group for men who carry more than they show. Closed, up to 8 men, live on video on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:45pm. The next group starts January 13, 2027, and enrollment closes January 6.
Common questions.
Do men's therapy groups work?
Group therapy is a well-established form of counseling, and for many men a group is where things start to move. Hearing other men say out loud what you've been carrying makes it easier to say yours. You also practice being honest with other men, which is hard to do anywhere else.
How do I get my husband to try therapy?
Pushing usually backfires. It tends to work better to name what you've noticed, without diagnosing him, and to make the first step small. A free 20-minute consult is low pressure, and he can ask anything. Some men find a group or a performance focus easier to start with than "therapy."
Do I have to talk about my feelings right away?
No. We start where you are. For a lot of men, that's a specific problem at work or at home. The feelings tend to show up on their own once you're talking about real situations, and you set the pace.
Can I do individual therapy and the group at the same time?
Yes. Many men do both. Individual sessions go deeper on your own situation, and the group gives you other men to work alongside. We'll talk through what fits during your consult.
Will anyone know I'm in therapy?
Not from us. PTP is private pay and doesn't bill insurance, so nothing goes to an insurer or employer plan. What you share is protected by confidentiality laws, with standard legal exceptions such as a risk of serious harm, and we walk through those in your first session.
