For partners:

Thank you.

Your partner may not see it or appreciate it. But I do. Thank you. If you are here searching for a therapist for a man in your life, ___. Oftentimes, loved ones are the best people to notice and encourage a man to seek help.

Many men hesitate to reach out and ask for help. Our culture tells us men need to be strong, stoic, independent. Can't struggle, asking for help is weak. When the opposite is true. Asking for help is a sign of strength. We all need help sometimes.

Thank you for being here and helping. Keep it up, offer resources (I've got a few here on my website), don't push. Encourage just having a first conversation. Hopefully once they get on the phone and hear I'm just a normal dude, they'll be a bit more open.

If you'd like help thinking through how to encourage a conversation, feel free to reach out.
