Mental health concerns are just as common for men as for women, except that men are often told to just “suck it up and be a man” instead of being encouraged to get help. Oftentimes, common mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, can present themselves through anger or substance abuse, which leads to men being vilified rather than being helped. At Bright Side Counseling, we will never make you feel like less of a man for seeking help. Schedule an appointment today and let one of our therapists help you embrace your manhood as you learn to cope with the stress in your life!
PTSD symptoms can develop from events such as natural disasters, serious accidents, life-threatening illnesses, physical abuse, and sexual assault.

You may not ever forget the event that led to your PTSD, but our therapists can help you process the trauma and learn ways to cope with the symptoms as you work toward being healthy again!
Addiction is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior.

Depression often occurs as the result of a known event, such as losing a family member, being fired from your job, or ending a relationship.

Our experienced therapists can help you learn to overcome the overwhelming effects of depression so you can start living your best life again!
