In this Podcourse episode, I sit down with Dr. Steve Stuhlreyer, a licensed professional counselor, professor, and director of the PhD program in Counselor Education at Columbia International University. Dr. Stuhlreyer shares how his clinical work, research, and experience leading men's retreats have shaped his approach to understanding and supporting men's mental health.
Together, we explore how therapists can recognize the unique challenges men face such as loneliness, emotional isolation, and the pressure to succeed while also understanding how conflicting cultural messages create cognitive dissonance and emotional distress. Dr. Stuhlreyer offers evidence-based strategies, including attachment-focused and cognitive-behavioral approaches, to help male clients regulate emotions, develop authentic relationships, and align their sense of identity and purpose.
Our hope is that you'll walk away with practical strategies you can integrate into your clinical work right away and you can also earn one NBCC continuing education contact hour by completing this Podcourse.
