Doesn't sound like a good fit at all.

Interestingly, he doesn't seem to be. At least he is not your garden variety behaviorist. I did read more of his post and some of another. He presents as a T who helps people face their challenges in life by helping them find and be their inner warrior. I am not sure what type of therapy that is--Jungian? I am also not sure if that is for men only. Later in the post I quoted, he directs his comments to men. (He seems most annoyed when men assume the victim role, as he sees it.) But in another post, women are definitely included.
