Mental Health Counseling for Men in their 20s & 30s
Therapy for men in Arlington, Virginia and online statewide
Being a man can be stressful in your 20s and 30s
Demands of early career in a professional-oriented area like the DMV, exploring more serious romantic relationships, and solidifying your identity as an adult can get intense, leading to anxiety and frustration for many young men.
In therapy, we’ll work on equipping you with tools to manage stress, build resilience, and make decisions that bring you more meaning and well-being during these two defining decades of your life.
Sound familiar to you?
Not feeling confident or at ease with yourself
Lots of uncomfortable emotions and thoughts you don’t know what to do with
Being uncertain about the future of a relationship with someone you’re dating
Having issues with your partner and not knowing how to bring them up because you’re worried it will cause more drama than resolution
Disliking your job, but not sure where exactly to go next or how to get there
Struggling to adjust to a major life change, like moving to a new city or losing a friend group.
Feeling like there’s not anyone you can go to for these concerns
My Services
Hey, I’m Ben Sollenberger, MEd in Counseling
In a field made up of mostly women and older male therapists, I understand finding someone relatable can be tough. In fact, fewer than 16% of therapists under 40 are men.
As a man in my thirties and on my second career, I’ve faced many of the same challenges you’re experiencing. I bring both clinical training and personal insight into the issues affecting older teens and men in their 20s and 30s. My mission is to support your well-being through an equal measure of real-world understanding and research-based psychotherapy treatments.
Many of my clients tell me they enjoy working with me because I offer professional guidance that feels more conversational, almost like it’s coming from a trusted friend than Freud.
