Connor Will, ACSW

I take an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on a client-centered methodology to build rapport and meet the unique needs of men. This approach allows me to provide unconditional positive regard, creating a judgment-free space where my clients feel safe and supported. I strongly believe in each person's ability to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth.

Specializing in men’s mental health, I focus on issues such as trauma, anxiety disorders, and relationship-based challenges. I am particularly skilled in addressing concerns related to masculine identity and the pressures men face in today’s society. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQA+ community, I offer a unique perspective and strong support for men who are part of the community, helping them navigate their specific experiences and challenges.

While my primary focus is on men's issues, I also extend my therapeutic approach to women, addressing their unique mental health challenges with the same client-centered, supportive methodology. I recognize that women, too, face significant societal pressures and relationship challenges, and I am committed to helping them navigate these issues. My goal is to empower all my clients, regardless of gender, to move away from feelings of shame and toward a more objective perspective on self-improvement, fostering self-acceptance and resilience. Through therapy, I strive to help both men and women embrace their true selves and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Why I became a Therapist:

I went into therapy because I wanted to work in a space where I can offer a non-judging, listening ear and let clients know that someone empathic is there to support them. I want clients to know that I also genuinely believe in their own strength and ability to overcome challenges. Just like my clients, I am growing and healing in my own ways, pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I believe this lends to my ability to help others.
