A Note From Dr. Courtenay

Welcome to my web site. I’d like to tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in helping men with a variety of concerns that can prevent us from living happy and fulfilling lives. In addition to my work with individual men, I also facilitate groups and host several web sites for men.

It really pains me to see so many men suffering alone, in silence. Especially since depression, anxiety and the other emotional problems that affect us can all be effectively treated. So, helping men to lead the most fulfilling lives they can remains a lifelong passion – whether it’s helping with career, moods, relationships, parenting, or stage of life concerns.

Research shows, finding the right therapist for you – and one who understands men – is critical for your therapy to be effective. I’ve trained thousands of health professionals nationwide in how to best help men, and have helped individual men for over 15 years. Now I’d like to help you.

I know asking for help can be hard sometimes, but phoning now is a start. Give me a call at 415-346-6719.

With best regards,

Dr. Will Courtenay
