Sometimes, you just want to talk to a guy who gets it.

Just real talk, safe space, and the tools to help you heal and grow.
Finding the male therapist that fits your needs.
We often get calls from people looking for a guy counselor. The need for this is real because men have a big impact. And other times, we need a male therapist who will be tender, yet real. At Estes Therapy, we focus on having a diverse group of people. And did you know that the therapy world is full of females? So one our priorities was having good quality men therapists.
Often, people worry about the relationship they will be forming with their therapist. This is the person who will be diving deeply into their life with them to get to the root of any issues. One characteristic people think about is the gender of their therapist. Men have the stereotype of being less comforting, cold, emotionless or being unable to sympathize. This myth is far from the actual truth. Our male counselors provide a nurturing environment full of empathy, understanding, and compassion.
Strong, steady, supportive—and absolutely human. We’re not about old-school “man up” energy. We’re about man down and feel it out—with heart, humor, and a whole lot of skill.

Cynthia Savage
Hello, my name is Cynthia, welcome. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and integrative practitioner devoted to the art of healing and relationships.
“As a male therapist, I am a living example contradicting the myth of men being emotionless or unempathetic. I can demonstrate how men can be just as open and emotional – and that expressing emotions is okay and even encouraged. I utilize several evidence-based practices, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in therapy. I have also completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I utilize in addition to EFT with couples. Through my work in psychiatric emergency response with the community, I am empathetic to those experiencing severe psychiatric crises. My hope is to see children, couples, families, and individuals move quickly toward their goals.” – Young Ju, LMFT
