Counseling for Men
I counsel many Portland area men who are struggling in their relationship and want feel more in sync with their wife, partner, or girlfriend. Often, these men come in to my office because other people have insisted that they do so. In addition to those people around them being unhappy, many men themselves are stressed, unhappy, and suffering in silence. They are torn between not knowing how to make their wife happy, and get their own needs met.
Together we will tackle the issues and help you learn new tools so you can communicate better, feel more appreciated, lower the tension, and enjoy your relationships. My purpose is to guide you to become a better man, not to be more like women.
I also work with men to:
- Lower stress and reduce tension
- Get help for their depression & start feeling better
- Be more productive on the job
- Improve their relationship with their kids
- Identify and calm their angry feelings
- Get out of your head and out of your own way
- Generate energy, fun and laughter
Marriage and Relationship Counseling
Many of you who are thinking about relationship counseling have been struggling for some time now. If you’re like most, you have grown tired of feeling stressed, distant from your partner, and wonder why it’s so hard to be in a relationship.
Right away, I will provide you with the tools to relieve some of that stress. We will continue building long-term skills that will provide clarity about what are reasonable needs and wants. Through this process you will learn more about yourself and develop greater understanding and compassion for each other.
Many couples who seek counseling want to:
- Argue less
- Fight fair
- Improve communication
- Have Time and Fun together
- Have a Better Sex Life
- Prevent a breakup or divorce
- Feel appreciated
- Build Trust
- Get back to the place they used to have with each other
- Pre-marital Skill building

- Strengthen and balance the competiton between your family, work, health, and play

- Learn to appreciate the strengths that men bring to the table
Telephone and Online Counseling
For better or for worse, technology has become an essential part of all of our lives - it can even be useful in personal growth work. While using the telephone or Internet for therapy is not ideal, phone sessions or online video conferencing can be an effective and convenient alternative to face-to-face sessions when meeting in person isn’t possible.
I currently use the telephone and the Internet with great success to work with clients in the United States who are unable to visit me in person. You can have sessions with me via your telephone or through Skype, a free, high quality video conferencing program that allows us to see and hear each other using your computer and a web cam (and headset if you choose). Skype is free to download off the Internet, easy to install and set up, is free of adware/malware/spyware etc and, most importantly, is confidential.
If you are interested in seeing me via telephone or ‘virtually’ on Skype, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to set things up.
Is Skype Confidential?
Yes, all Skype sessions are encrypted to ensure privacy and confidentiality. You can read more about it on Skype’s website here and here.
To Get Started with Skype:
1. Go to Skype and download the latest version of Skype for Windows or Mac, then install it on your computer. Use Skype help for any questions you have about setting up or using Skype.
2. Open Skype and add me to your Contact List. My username is ‘markhenry1.
3. You will need a web cam if your computer doesn’t have one built in, and possibly a headset. To take a look at the web cams and headsets that Skype recommends.
4. Call 888.628.5959 or e-mail me to set your free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting and serving you virtually.
