I too ran into this difficulty here in Phoenix, Arizona. As a thirty-something guy who has been struggling at wits end to find love, life, friends, and career, I felt like a man might understand me a bit better... particularly with respect to the romance department.

I managed to find a guy who was the best councilor up until that point (about two years ago), but he happened to be gay (I don't think there's anything wrong with that, mind you) and it was quite hard to explain the frustrations of the straight dating world to get any understanding/guidance. The few other male profiles I saw looking for therapists were older and very focused on marriages, divorces, and families as such which is a place far down the road from where I'm at as a single guy in a Millennial world.

My biggest struggle with therapy was been the lack of understanding of patients (i.e. me) context in the world they live/interact in.
