Therapy For Men
With Lisa Hanson, LMFT
I grew up surrounded by male energy: two brothers (one my twin), all boy cousins, and three sons. I get how men think, the pressures they carry, and why certain things are impossible to say out loud.
Are you ready to fix what’s not working? Do you want therapy that changes things, instead of analyzing every feeling before getting to work?
Therapy with me is direct, focused, and results-driven.
Clients Come to Me When They Feel
Successful but not satisfied
Relationships are hard
Reactive + angry
Withdrawn + shut down
They can’t get it right
Burnt out by struggle
When you’ve tried everything else, therapy helps you address root issues, and build a plan that works.
What Therapy With Me Looks Like
We get to work quickly. I’ll give you direct feedback and real tools, not vague reflections. You’ll understand why things keep happening and how to change them.
Modalities I Use
-
Helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck.
-
Builds awareness of different internal drives or beliefs so you can make choices, not just react.
-
Practical strategies to calm your body and reduce overthinking.
-
Learn to express what you need and understand your partner or daughter with more clarity.
Together, we’ll make sense of your reactions and strengthen the parts of you that want a different life.
When you understand yourself,
you stop fighting battles alone
After Therapy With Me, Clients Report
I understand myself better
I’m calm under pressure
My relationships are easier
I feel confident in my decisions
I’m more satisfied with life
About Lisa Hanson, LMFT
I bring a results-focused, no-nonsense approach to therapy. I know that progress matters to you, and it matters to me too. My clients appreciate that I care deeply and tell them the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Therapy with me is collaborative and action-oriented. You’ll leave sessions with clarity, direction, to dos.
When I’m not in session, I love spending time outdoors with my family and our dog.
Availability: I work with individuals in-person in Carlsbad, CA and via Telehealth across California.
