I help men who shut down, feel overwhelmed, or feel “not enough” finally understand themselves from the inside out.
If you're reading this, you're probably carrying more than you talk about — pressure,
responsibility, expectations, and the quiet belief that you need to handle it all alone.My name is Jadi Fergen, LPC, and I specialize in therapy for men — especially men who shut
down in relationships, feel overwhelmed emotionally, or feel “not enough” no matter how hard
they try.
Why I Work With Men
Men live in an impossible tension:
You’re expected to be strong, steady, logical, and in control —
and at the same time open, communicative, emotionally aware, and sensitive.
And when you can’t be both at once, you think something is wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you.
No one taught you how to do this.
That’s why I do this work.
I help men integrate strength with clarity.
Logic with emotion.
Steadiness with connection.
You don’t have to give up who you are.
You get to become more fully yourself.
The Men I Work With
Most men who come to me are:
- silently overwhelmed
- successful but exhausted
- disconnected from their emotions
- shutting down during conflict
- feeling “not enough” at home or at work
- numb, blank, or confused inside
- carrying pressure they never speak out loud
They are not broken.
They are overloaded — and I help them reset.
My Approach
I don’t do traditional “talk at me for an hour and leave” therapy.
I use grounded, practical tools that men can actually apply in real life:
1. Nervous System Work
Understanding why you shut down or react the way you do.
2. Somatic Therapy
Getting out of your head and into your body where the real reactions live.
3. Communication Skills for Men
Direct, clear tools that work during conflict.
4. Attachment & Relationship Work
Understanding your patterns so you can break them.
5. Breathwork & Grounding
Staying steady during stress, conflict, and emotion.
6. Men’s Emotional Resilience Training
Becoming grounded, confident, and connected without losing your edge.
Why Men Work Well With Me
Men tell me they trust me because:
- I don’t judge
- I have a sense of humor
- I don’t push too fast
- I don’t shame shutdown
- I don’t expect instant vulnerability
- I’m direct, honest, calm, and grounded
- I help them make sense of things they’ve never understood
I grew up around men.
I served in a male-dominated military environment.
I understand the culture of pressure, intensity, and emotional silence.
Nothing you say will surprise me.
Nothing you feel will be “too much or not enough.”
You don’t have to perform here.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You can just be human.
What This Work Helps With
I help men with:
- emotional shutdown
- relationship stress
- communication issues
- anger and internal pressure
- Infidelity
- Intimacy
- numbness and disconnection
- self-doubt and inadequacy
- high-functioning stress
- divorce and major life changes
- military trauma / high-pressure environments
This work isn’t about being “more emotional.”
It’s about being steady, clear, and connected.
Outside the Therapy Room
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my sons, traveling, fishing,leading retreats, connecting with nature, and creating restorative spaces for deeper healing.
I’m grounded, real, and down-to-earth and I bring all of that into the room with you.
