Description

Therapy with Boys and Men is a podcast for therapists, counselors, and mental health providers working with male clients — tackling men's mental health, masculinity, the manosphere, and the psychology of boys and men through conversations with leading clinicians and researchers.

Working with men in therapy comes with real challenges: vulnerability and help-seeking don't come easily for a lot of male clients, and clinicians are often left without the training to understand what's actually going on for them — from loneliness and isolation to the pull of online manosphere content, from anger and disconnection to changing ideas about masculinity itself. Each episode brings you tools, research, and clinical wisdom from top experts, helping clinicians (and the women who love, parent, and work alongside men) better understand what men and boys are going through in 2026 America.

Your hosts:

Dr. Erica Liebman is a Philadelphia-based clinical psychologist specializing in men's mental health, couples therapy, and psychological assessments of military veterans. A board member of APA Division 51 (Society for the Psychology of Men & Masculinities), she advocates for better training on boys and men in psychology programs. ericaliebmanpsyd.com

Dr. David Shepard is a Los Angeles-based psychologist with 30+ years of experience treating men individually and in couples therapy. A past president of APA Division 51 and Professor Emeritus in Counseling at Cal State Fullerton, he's published extensively on working with men and male partners in couple therapy. drdavidshepard.com
