Men, Work, Identity, and Purpose
When your sense of worth has been tied to providing and achieving, a change at work can feel like a change in who you are.
More than a job
For many men, work has been the clearest answer to the question of who they are. Burnout, a layoff, being passed over, nearing retirement, or simply losing interest can leave that answer feeling thin.

Therapy can help you look at where your ideas about success and responsibility came from, which still feel true, and which you are ready to question. That reflection often touches family, relationships, and health as well as work.
Not career coaching
