A Structured Counseling Process for Men Who Feel Stuck, Reactive, or Disconnected
Time-limited, practical support focused on understanding patterns, improving communication, and restoring stability.
Many men reach out after noticing the same patterns repeating—
emotional shutdown, anger that escalates too quickly, relationship tension, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
This is not open-ended talk therapy.
We work within a clear, structured process designed to help you understand what’s driving your reactions, practice different responses, and regain a sense of control and stability in your day-to-day life.
MENTAL & EMOTIONAL REGULATION
Anger · Anxiety · Shutdown · Stress
Men often notice emotional issues indirectly—through irritability, withdrawal, or feeling constantly on edge.
This work focuses on understanding emotional triggers, reducing reactivity, and developing steadier responses under pressure.
RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNICATION
Conflict · Distance · Boundaries · Trust
Many men struggle not because they don’t care—but because communication breaks down or boundaries feel unclear.
We work on identifying interaction patterns, improving communication, and responding differently during conflict.
DIRECTION & LIFE STRUCTURE
Purpose · Balance · Life Transitions
Feeling stuck often shows up as loss of direction, imbalance, or uncertainty during life transitions.
This process helps clarify values, priorities, and next steps—creating more stability and direction day-to-day.
Let’s Connect
My name is Dru Johnston. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with men and couples around emotional reactivity, communication, and relationship patterns.
If you’re considering counseling, the next step is a brief consultation. This is an opportunity to ask questions, describe what’s been feeling stuck or reactive, and determine whether this approach is a good fit.
All sessions are conducted virtually.
