Mental Health Professionals For Men
The Mens’ List Therapist Directory is an online listing of counsellors, therapists, coaches, social workers and mental health professionals located throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The Mens’ List is also a resource of mental health information, counselling and therapy articles and interviews, and infographics.
Professional members who list their services on The Mens’ List provide expert, gender competent services and mental health support to men. The Mens’ List is expanding and not at all complete or final, and is designed to provide you with the best place to begin if you are looking for counselling or therapy support in your area, or for information and a better understanding of a specific mental health issue. Please note that having a listing in this counselling directory does not imply that the provider is, in any way, endorsed by The Mens’ List. And while The Mens’ List does verify that all our counsellors, therapists, and coaches are credentialed, we highly recommend that you visit their websites and to check with the mental health professional licensing bodies in your state or province, or region to make sure that the provider is licensed, in good standing, and eligible to practice in your state, province or region.”

How To Spot Gaslighting In A Relationship
Gaslighting is something that can damage a relationship beyond repair. It occurs when one person in a relationship says or does something that causes their partner to question their memories, thoughts, or events that occurred. It’s abusive and in its most extreme forms, causes the gaslighted victim to question their understanding of reality, what and who to trust and even their sanity.
Chances are someone has attempted to gaslight you at some point or another. Maybe an ex did it or maybe you experienced a co-worker or friend denying something that you know happened or that they did. It’s a common experience, but it’s especially damaging when it’s ongoing or chronic in an intimate relationship.

Ghosting is the sudden discontinuation of contact with someone with the goal being to end the relationship without saying “I want to end this relationship.”

Is My Gaming A Problem? When Gaming Becomes An Addiction
Has Gaming Become a Problem?
As the saying goes, “too much of a good thing isn’t so good anymore.”
This is true for all vices, including gaming. Playing video games is fun, it’s a good way to let off steam and tune out from day-to-day stress for a while, and there are even proven cognitive benefits. But spending too much time playing video games puts you at risk of developing an addiction.
The concern is so great the World Health Organization (WHO) recently added gaming addiction to its list of official health concerns. And the organization isn’t the only one concerned about too much gaming.
Recently, radio talk show host Joe Rogan discussed his problems with gaming and cited his gaming addiction as the reason he struggles to behave like a responsible adult.

Supporting and engaging men in their mental health and wellness!
The Men’s List focuses on supporting and engaging men in their mental health and wellness. Our site strives to provide men who are looking for therapy support and guidance a link to the professionals who offer gender competent counselling services for men.
Often the stigma surrounding mental health issues and therapy prevent men from taking the step of seeking help. The Mens’ List is designed as a forum and a community presenting therapy for men in a way that is more accessible, relatable, and relevant.
Our aim is simple: to be the online resource men come to when they need support with their mental health and wellness.
The truth is there are many men who take that first courageous step to look for help, even going online and searching for therapy for guys only to find that locating the right professional to help them is a difficult and frustrating process. So they quit and go back to what they know best – coping in harmful ways, or staying quiet and suffering in silence.
The Mens’ List is about ending that silence and suffering and making mental health support available and accessible to every man regardless of his age or location.
When it comes to our health and more specifically our mental health, we men struggle to help ourselves. Our psychological and emotional landscapes are rarely places we set foot on, let alone question. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”, is the phrase about our mental health I’ve heard most often in the therapy groups for men I have facilitated over the last thirteen years. This approach of ‘fixing’ ourselves only when we notice a problem is a type of reactive thinking. Truth be told, by the time we realize there is a problem and we actually admit it to ourselves and others – it’s likely too late for a band-aid or quick fix – which is what many men seek. Rapid relief is something men tend to seek when it comes to mental or emotional pain – “Fix me up and let me get back at it,” is a phrase I hear men say since, as men, we under appreciate the complexity and impact of our mental and emotional health.
If you are a man looking for therapy or a therapist and you’re not sure how to find that help or what to ask for, or what type of treatments are available to you in your area – The Men’s List is the place to begin. Our directory helps any man find a psychologist, psychiatrist, counsellor, coach, psychotherapist, NLP practitioner, social worker or hypnotherapist. Our mental health directory is always growing as new therapists from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom join every day.
Is it tough to find a therapist or help in your local area? No problem, The Men’s List features mental health professionals who also offer online therapy for men via video-based therapy sessions. This is a great way for men in rural areas to still experience the same top notch therapy and support as men in urban centres like New York, Boston, Austin, or Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, London or Manchester.
We make it our mission to make it simple and easy for any man to find the therapy help or treatment they need. Are you searching for information on a specific topic or are you trying to find a psychologist who offers a specific type of treatment? Perfect. The Men’s List features a section where you can click on the predominant psychological issues affecting men and find articles, and listings for every therapist in our directory who offers help for that topic including Alcohol and Addiction, Anxiety, Anger Management and Depression, Grief and Loss to Relationship and Marriage counselling, PTSD, Sex & Sexuality, Sleep Issues and Life Goals.
You see, we want to make it simple and easy for guys to find a therapist because we know what it’s like to be where you are. Our founder Dale Curd lived these experiences not only as a therapist but also, years ago, as a man desperately looking for help.
“My life turned around and I began to climb up and out of the dark hole I was in when a friend, who could see that I was suffering, offered me a way out. “I know a guy, who can help you,” he said. “He helped me and I have hope back in my life now – I’ll connect the two of you. Just make sure you call him.” And I made that call.”
The first step for a man looking for therapy is admitting to himself “I need help, I can’t figure this out on my own.”
The Men’s List is the second step a man takes to find that help.
