Coaching & Counseling for Men
We help men help themselves thrive.
Every pro athlete hires coaches and trainers to help them. Why? Because you can't see your own life objectively. It is helpful to have an objective voice offering suggestions.
A lot of men are used to handling things on their own. But when stress builds, relationships strain, or patterns repeat, it can help to have a clear place to sort it out and move forward with purpose.
With a bold, wise, blunt, and often humorous style, Dave Crandall will help you identify the root issues beneath your struggles and provide practical tools to overcome them. Every week, we coach guys to become the men they want to be. In a handful of sessions you'll gather new insights and tools for becoming a better man, partner, father, professional, and friend.
Change your life, your family, and your legacy. Think of a counselor like a sports coach or fitness instructor who equips you for life by providing new thoughts, new emotions, and new behaviors. In counseling, we coach you to help yourself thrive.

Imagine all that you can gain?
My husband needed a good counselor he could relate to. He never found one. I wish he had met you. You could've helped him. He would've really liked you.

What is men’s counseling?
Men’s counseling is a space for men to work through stress, thoughts emotions, behaviors, relational struggles, and life challenges in a practical and direct way. It focuses on helping you understand what is going on beneath the surface and develop tools to respond more effectively. When you've tried everything you can, it's time for new ideas, new tools, and new hope.
What issues do men typically seek counseling for?
Common reasons include anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, communication problems, career pressure, and major life transitions. Many men also seek help when they feel stuck or disconnected.
Do I have to talk about my feelings the whole time?
No. Counseling is not about forcing you to talk in a way that feels unnatural. It is a man-to-man conversation helping you understand what is going on and giving you practical tools and strategies you can actually use in real life.
How do I know if I need counseling?
If you feel constantly stressed, easily frustrated, stuck in patterns you cannot break, or if your relationships are being affected, it may be time to get support. You do not have to wait until things get worse.
Why do I feel angry more than anything else?
For many men, anger is the most accessible and acceptable emotion. But underneath it, there is often stress, pressure, disappointment, or feeling out of control. Counseling helps you understand what is driving the anger and how to respond in more helpful ways.
Is it normal to feel stressed or overwhelmed all the time?
It is common, but it is not something you have to live with long term. Constant stress usually means your system is overloaded. With the right tools and strategies, you can reduce that pressure and feel more in control.
How can counseling help with relationships?
Counseling helps you communicate more clearly, manage reactions, and understand patterns that create conflict. These skills can improve connection, reduce tension, and strengthen your relationships over time.
What if I am not good at opening up?
That is common. You do not need to have the right words or know where to start. A good counseling process helps you get there at your own pace without pressure.
Will counseling give me practical tools?
Yes. The focus of goal-oriented and tool-based counseling is giving you practical and effective tools and strategies you can apply in real-life situations, such as managing stress, handling conflict, communicating more effectively, and making clearer decisions.
How long does counseling usually take?
It depends on your goals and what you are working through. Some men come for a short period to address a specific issue, while others stay longer to work on deeper patterns and long-term growth. We usually recommend to start with 7- 10 sessions meeting every other week.
Is counseling only for serious problems?
No. Many men come start counseling to improve their relationships, make better decisions, or feel more steady and focused. You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from counseling/coaching.
Can counseling help me feel more in control of my life?
Yes. One of the main goals is to help you move from reacting to situations to responding with clarity and intention. Over time, this creates a greater sense of control and direction.
What happens in a typical session?
Sessions are focused, conversational, and practical. You will talk through what is going on, identify patterns, and work on practical strategies that help you become the man you want to be.
