Men’s ANGER COUNSELING & Men’s therapy in NEW YORK CITY
Let's Talk—Men's Therapy That Works
As a man, you may be used to:
Solving problems all on your own.
Avoiding asking for help
Living with simmering anger and then horrible guilt when you blow-up
Not talking with others about things that cause you stress and upset
Believing that there is something “unmanly” about working with a counselor or therapist.
Boys and men in our culture often choose to suffer in private silence and pain, rather than admit to someone else that there is a problem they cannot fix on their own. We secretly fear feeling or being seen at inadequate—not enough.
Unfortunately, it’s very difficult sometimes to seek support from friends or family, and if we do, they often time are simply not helpful—or we wind up feeling worse.
You’re not alone if:
You’re having problems at work, with your primary relationship, or in your family.
You feel disconnected and alone or full of rage and worried about making things worse.
You have excessive self-doubt, anxiety, or depression and worry life won't get better.
You don’t think you have an issue or problem to address, but someone important to you does.
You are engaging in behaviors that you know are unhealthy or dangerous but are difficult to stop.
In our culture, there men feel great expectations on them not to be “weak” or “vulnerable” and to conceal emotions or be “warriors.” However, it’s a lie that if you talk about your problems, worries, hurts, and feeling, you will somehow, magically, become less of a man.
Not true.
The world is changing, let’s change with it.
It’s essential for men to develop vital skills such as emotional intelligence, effective communication, stress management, and building strong relationships. Men’s counseling offers valuable support in these areas.
I offer an environment where men can feel at ease to be genuine and open-up. You’ll receive the support and feedback you seek, but I won’t just give you the answers. My approach is to both challenge and encourage you. And you won’t find me sitting in silence for an hour—I’ll be actively engaging in a real, meaningful conversation with you.
Skeptical? This counseling is different.
This counseling focuses on your personal growth and helping you return to feeling your best in life. It’s created specifically for men, by someone who understands men’s unique experiences.
Reach out and share what changes you want to see in your life. I’ll explain my experience and the reasons I’m especially suited to work with men. If we both feel it’s the right fit, we’ll get started together.
Why I specialize in working with men…
"I am a man. I spent most of my life trying to fill certain male roles and struggling to feel confident I was doing it right. I commonly found myself experiencing strong emotions — but unsure of what they were, whether they were appropriate to feel, or how to cope with them.
When I finally tried therapy myself, I realized how much there was to learn about what it means to be a man — and a human being. That experience shaped everything about how I work with my clients today."
— Dr. Bob Nemerovski, Psy.D.
Men’s Therapy FAQ’s
-
Psychotherapy can be helpful depending on several personal factors. It works best if you’re open to exploring your thoughts and emotions and willing to make changes through self-reflection.
Consider how your current challenges affect your daily life. If you struggle with stress, emotions, or relationships, therapy can offer support and practical strategies.
Success also depends on having realistic expectations and building a strong connection with a licensed psychologist—ideally one experienced in working with men—whose approach feels like a good fit for you.
While outcomes vary, men who commit to the process and actively engage in therapy are more likely to see meaningful growth and positive results.

First and foremost, I am a man. I spent most of my life trying to fill certain, common male roles and struggling to feel confident that I was doing it right. Also, I commonly found myself experiencing strong emotions, but unsure of which they were, if they were appropriate to feel or share out loud, and how to cope with them.
When I finally tried out psychotherapy as a client and later when I entered the field of psychology, I realized there was so much to learn about what it meant to be a man in our western culture, but also what it meant to be a human being regardless of gender.
I have committed my professional life to helping other men feel free and confident in learning crucial human skills such as self-control, emotional understanding and communication, self-reflection, and digging deep to learn what they really think, feel, and need.
Most importantly, I help men recognize that acknowledging their pain, confusion, insecurity, needs, and frustrations are perfectly normal, and seeking support and help is what healthy humans do. Doing so does not make one any less of a man. In fact, it makes one more of a man.
