Arguments repeat without resolution. Communication breaks down. Stress at work spills into the home. Kids notice tension between parents. And little by little, the family you love starts to feel like a source of stress instead of support.
At Mister Health, we provide family counseling for Massachusetts families who want to rebuild connection, improve communication, and learn how to show up for each other—even during the hard seasons.
Families don't always run smoothly
family Counseling for Men in Massachusetts
Every family looks put together on the outside—but behind closed doors, things may feel very different.
Why families struggle
No family is perfect, but many face challenges like:
Families aren’t broken because they struggle. They just need tools to navigate conflict and stress in a healthier way.
Communication Breakdowns: Misunderstandings, silence, or constant arguments.
Parenting Stress: Disagreements about discipline, roles, or responsibilities.
Life Transitions: Divorce, remarriage, new baby, or blended families.
Mental Health Struggles: Anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma affecting family dynamics.
Unspoken Tension: Everyone feels it, but no one knows how to talk about it.
How family counseling helps
Family therapy isn’t about pointing fingers or blaming one person. It’s about creating a space where everyone can be heard, understood, and supported.
At Mister Health, family counseling helps you:
Improve Communication: Learn how to listen and speak without defensiveness.
Resolve Conflict: Handle disagreements without constant fighting or avoidance.
Strengthen Bonds: Rebuild trust, closeness, and respect.
Support Kids: Help children feel safe, loved, and understood, even in stressful times.
Work as a Team: Learn how to approach challenges together instead of individually.
Private & Convenient: No driving multiple people to an office. Everyone logs in from their own space.
Led by Dr. Michael Stokes: A licensed therapist with years of experience helping families navigate stress, parenting, conflict, and connection.

"I didn’t think therapy was for me. I figured I’d just deal with it. But after a few sessions, I realized how much I’d been carrying. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again."
