Work HistoryMost men wait until things are falling apart before they ask for help, but you don't have to wait that long. I'm Joshua and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada. I've worked with men for over a decade: guys dealing with addiction, gambling that's gotten out of control, career transitions that shake their sense of identity, and health issues like chronic pain or insomnia that wear them down. I also work with older men navigating retirement, chronic illness, and what comes after a lifetime of being defined by what you do. I grew up in Chicago and spent years working in rural communities outside the city. That taught me something important: expectations around masculinity look different depending on where you are, but the pressure to handle things alone is universal. Being raised to tough it out or be the provider, those messages don't always serve you when life gets complicated. My work focuses on helping men who are stuck, whether that's in patterns of substance use, behaviors they can't seem to stop, relationships that aren't working, or just the feeling that nothing matters anymore. I also help men deal with issues they don't often talk about: infertility, the loss of physical capabilities, and figuring out who you are when your old identity doesn't fit. I use CBT to work on the thought patterns keeping you stuck, motivational interviewing when part of you wants to change and part of you doesn't, and family systems approaches when the people around you are part of what needs to shift. My style is straightforward. For older adults, I understand the specific challenges of aging: losing independence, dealing with bodies that don't cooperate, grief over what's been lost, and finding meaning when the structure of work is gone.
