Are you a man looking for a therapist in Seattle? My name is Peter Hannah, and I specialize in therapy for men.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has been in private practice since 2003. Over the years I have focused my practice more and more, to the point where I now only work with men. Only adults. Only individuals. Only men.

Despite a current tide of sentiment that seems to say the differences between men and women are more minimal or negligible – I don’t find that to be the case. 

Our experience, acculturation, biology, and the expectations placed on us by society as men are quite different and unique.

I both appreciate the strengths, and the problems, of being a man. I hold in high regards the ability to work hard, to compartmentalize emotions, to put away our fears. But I also know the traps that creates when something has gone wrong in our lives (whether on the inside or the outside).

We can get trapped by the ideas of the “Man Box” that we shouldn’t express when we are having problems or are feeling emotions. That leads to isolation, depression, sometimes to substance issues. It’s a tough feedback loop.

So, if you’re a man dealing with something, I welcome you to contact me and see if I might be a good fit for you. I’ll clearly let you know if it’s something I can work with, or is beyond my training or ability to help. The most common issues I deal with are ones you might expect:

• Depression, Anxiety and Stress
• Relationship Issues (Dating, Marriage, Divorce)
• Work and Career
• Health and Aging
• Transitions and Changes
• The Strong Energies of Male Life (Sex and Anger)

One last thing – my goal is always INTEGRATION. That is, keep the great strengths that have worked so well, and slowly add in new parts and skills, with you as the one who chooses the right tool for the right job. The part of us that can work tirelessly at a task, is not always the best part for a heart-to-heart with our loved ones, for instance. We need the ability to access both parts to lead a more successful life.

I work in-person from my office on Lake Union (Westlake), but also via Zoom Video from anyplace in Washington State.

If you’re ready to move forward, feel free to email me at peter@changingforgood.com or call me at 206-799-6566. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have. You can also book your own appointment now, with my online scheduling system.
