Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Group Therapy in California

Iron Sharpens Iron is an open process group designed to provide men with a safe, supportive space to express vulnerability, frustration, anger, and sadness—without fear of judgment.

Group Focus:

This group explores key areas of personal growth, including:
• Masculinity and male identity
• Emotional regulation and expression
• Accountability and integrity
• The impact of past experiences on present well-being and relationships

Participants are encouraged to challenge traditional masculine norms that discourage emotional openness. Through honest dialogue and shared experiences, members deepen their understanding of how their personal history shapes their current relationships and choices.

Iron Sharpens Iron invites men to redefine strength and vulnerability in ways that align with their authentic selves. The group emphasizes mutual accountability, with members supporting one another in making meaningful, lasting life changes.

Participants: Adult men inclusive of all sexual identities who are willing to commit to at least eight weeks of group participation and are open to self-exploration and interpersonal engagement in a group setting. Participants will be asked to explore unconscious processes, emotions, and relational patterns, and have the capacity for some level of introspection and emotional expression. Prior therapy experience preferred but not required.

When: Virtual on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 p.m., starting June 25, 2025

Cost: Insurance and self-pay are accepted in California
