Our values

---

Men don’t seek psychotherapy often. And when they do, it’s not always their idea. Many of our past clients had been dragged into group or marital therapy by other people in their lives, and they suspected, with good reason, that they were being set up to fail at the expense of the person dragging them in.

The Manbrain Protocol is designed to improve the process by which men get better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in conjunction with the principles of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the Eightfold Path of Theravada Buddhism, we address all facets of a man’s health when he joins us.

The protocol has been field-tested for over 5 years, and has proved to be an effective means for men to take ownership of their own recovery. By providing education on classic car restoration, woodworking, and cinema, we add the physical component of recovery that is all too often absent.

It’s not effective for men to sit in a dark room full of wellness knick-knacks and speak in a soft voice about the most disappointing moments of their lives. 

The rest of the world knows this: American-style psychotherapy is flatly against the reality that behavioral activation is a key element in getting better. We take our lessons from the Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, Napoleon, Ovid, Kissinger, MacArthur, even Tony Robbins and current figures in the wellness industry. No good idea is ignored. 

We meet you where you are, and take you where you may not have dared to go. Be part of the journey. Be part of Manbrain.
