THERAPY FOR MEN IN NEW YORK CITY
You might look like you're doing fine. That doesn't mean it always feels that way.

You might be successful, responsible, and someone others depend on. But you might also spend too much time in your head, put a lot of pressure on yourself, or feel disconnected in your relationships. Maybe something in your life just isn't working as well as you'd like, even if you're not exactly sure what needs to change.

Meet Mike

I’m Mike Evers, LMHC, LPC. I work primarily with men, many of whom are used to being capable, responsible, and handling things on their own.

My role isn’t just to listen. I’ll pay attention to patterns—how you respond to pressure, what happens when there’s conflict, what you expect from yourself, and where you tend to get stuck. Sometimes I’ll notice a connection or put words to something you haven’t been able to name yet. Understanding those patterns can give you more choice in how you respond, rather than realizing afterward that you’ve ended up in the same place again.

You don't need to come in knowing exactly what you want to talk about or why you feel the way you do. We can start with what's happening in your life and get curious about it together. Sometimes understanding where something comes from matters; other times, we can begin working with what's happening right now.

My style is active, relational, and flexible. Sometimes we’ll slow something down; other times I might ask a question you haven’t considered, share something I’m noticing, or suggest we try something different. There’s room for seriousness and emotion, but there’s room for humor too. I want therapy to be a place where you can understand yourself more fully-and use that understanding in your relationships and the rest of your life.



Experience & Perspective

10+ Years as a Therapist

For more than a decade, I’ve worked with individuals and couples. That experience has taught me that good therapy isn’t about fitting someone into a particular approach—it’s about understanding the person in front of me.

Before Becoming a Therapist

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 10 years in talent, leadership, and team development. That experience still shapes my understanding of work, leadership, relationships, and organizational life.

A Cross-Cultural Practice

My work in New York has given me the opportunity to work with men from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. Along with my experience in cross-cultural training, it has taught me to stay curious about how culture, family, and expectations shape the way each person understands himself and relates to others.

What We Might Work On

High-Functioning Anxiety

Do you look calm and capable while your mind rarely slows down? You replay conversations, second-guess decisions, think about what you should be doing, or have trouble turning work off. Therapy can help you understand what drives that pressure and lessen some of it—without losing the parts of you that care about doing well.

Relationship Struggles

Do you find yourself having the same arguments, shutting down when things get difficult, or struggling to say what you really want? Sometimes the problem isn't knowing how to communicate—it's understanding what happens inside you when you feel criticized, misunderstood, or weak. We can slow those moments down and work toward responding instead of reacting.

Male Loneliness & Friendship

You might have friends, coworkers, and people around you and still not have many people you really connect with. Asking for help might feel uncomfortable, or your friendships rarely get beyond what's happening at work, in sports, or in everyday life. We'll explore what gets in the way of letting others really know you.

Feeling Like a Fraud & Self-Doubt

You might be doing well and still wonder whether you're actually good enough. Compliments don't quite stick, mistakes linger too long, and someone else's success can quickly become evidence that you're falling behind. Therapy can help you understand where those expectations come from and loosen the hold they have on you. 

Life Transitions & Loss

A new job, relationship change, becoming a parent, a move, or getting older can bring more than one feeling at the same time. You can be excited about what's ahead and still miss what you're leaving. Therapy can give you room to hold both, rather than assuming you should feel only one way.

Rates & Insurance

Fees

Individual Therapy: $250 per 50-minute session
Couples Therapy: $265 per 50-minute session

My practice is private pay and out-of-network with insurance.

Why Out-of-Network?

Working outside of insurance gives you more privacy and more choice in your therapy. You can choose the therapist who feels right for you and decide together what you want to work on and how long therapy is helpful, rather than having those decisions shaped by insurance requirements.

When insurance is billed directly, a mental health diagnosis is generally required, and information about your treatment becomes part of the insurance claim record. With private-pay therapy, your sessions are not submitted to your insurance company unless you choose to seek reimbursement.

Using Your Out-of-Network Benefits

Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits that reimburse a portion of the cost of therapy after a deductible is met. Coverage varies by plan, so it's worth checking your benefits.

Upon request, I can provide superbills for you to submit for reimbursement. When contacting your insurance company, ask about your out-of-network benefits for outpatient psychotherapy, your deductible, and how they reimburse for a 50-minute session.

Payment & Cancellation

I accept major credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 business hours' notice might be charged the full session fee.
