Nashville Counseling for Teen Boys & Young Men Struggling with Anxiety & Self‑Worth

You were made for more than survival.

If you're a teen or young adult man struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, or constantly comparing yourself to others, you're not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.

At TN Oaks Counseling, I specialize in working with teen boys (ages 12–18) and young men (college-aged and early professionals) who feel overwhelmed by expectations, pressure, or disconnection. Whether it's social anxiety, emotional numbness, or a deep sense of “not enough,” there is a path forward—and therapy can help.

Therapy Designed for Teen Boys & Young Men

In a world where emotions are often avoided or minimized, many young men silently carry the weight of anxiety, loneliness, and pressure to perform. At TN Oaks, therapy is a place to be real—without fear of judgment or performance.

I help clients work through:

  • Social and performance anxiety

  • Comparison and social media pressure

  • Low confidence or self-esteem

  • Feeling misunderstood or emotionally stuck

  • Life transitions (high school to college, college to career)

Why Work With a Male Therapist?

As a male counselor, I understand firsthand how tough it can be for guys to open up. I provide a calm, confidential space that respects your pace. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you better understand your story, build emotional tools, and gain confidence to live more fully.
