Expert Psychotherapy
For Men's Issues
Dr. Yedidya (Didi) Levy
Our Approach To Men's Issues
Men's mental health is too often overlooked. We recognize that men navigate unique societal pressures, expectations, and emotional burdens. These challenges shape how they experience distress and manage their emotions. In psychotherapy, we work to build stronger coping strategies, cultivate greater emotional freedom, and make meaningful change.
Men face unique challenges when it comes to stress, relationships, sexuality, and emotional well-being. I specialize in working with men to navigate these challenges, providing a space to develop healthier coping strategies, build stronger relationships, and regain a sense of purpose and control in your life.

Men's Challenges Are Unique & Need Focused Therapy
Men face unique challenges in the realm of mental health due to norms and expectations of masculinity. They contend with pressures to suppress emotions, appear strong, and prioritize problem-solving over vulnerability. Men seek help at lower rates than women, and often their experiences of suffering going unnoticed or misunderstood. Masculinity can inform the expression of issues like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and challenges with emotional and physical intimacy. Effective therapy involves creating a nonjudgmental space, normalizing emotional expression, challenging harmful stereotypes, and incorporating practical, action-oriented approaches to help men feel seen, understood, and make meaningful change in their lives.
Men's Therapy With Me
Therapy with a specialist increases the likelihood of working with a clinician who deeply understands how mental health challenges manifest uniquely in men. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including CBT and psychodynamic therapy, with a keen awareness of the societal pressures men face in expressing emotions and building relationships. My expertise in men’s mental health allows me to provide targeted support that fosters growth, resilience, and meaningful change.
Common Men's Issues
Anger
Many men experience anger as one of the few emotions that are accessible to them. However, they also feel tremendous guilt and shame when they express anger in ways that hurt themselves or the people they love.
Sexual Compulsion
Issues around problematic pornography use, compulsive womanizing, and infidelity are common and often indicative of deeper emotional turmoil related to shame, masculinity, and childhood.
Numbness
Some men have learned to cutoff there emotions and experience life with numbness. This is often the result of various factors including trauma, societal pressures on masculinity, and depression.
Loneliness
Men who lack a robust way of communicating their emotions often find themselves either alone or in relationships where they still feel lonely.
Meet The Founder
Dr. Yedidya Levy
I've trained and supervised therapists, published on men's issues, and devoted my clinical practice to men's mental health. I work with clients seeking to make meaningful change around complex presenting issues. These issues include mild to severe depression, anger that interferes with relationships, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety disorders, narcissism, BPD & psychosis. Good psychotherapy is a collaborative relationship that uncovers action-oriented insights and facilitates lasting change. Clients I work with can expect symptom relief, meaningful insight, and improved effectiveness in personal and professional relationships. I am the assistant director of the college counseling center at Yeshiva University, and have worked extensively with adult men of all ages, and from all walks of life. I believe psychotherapy is a bespoke process, one in which the care and roadmap to change is highly individualized. Through this exploration, we'll identify the patterns contributing to your current distress. We will develop insight into the ways these patterns are maintained, and we will effectively intervene to create lasting change.
