Depression, stress, and men who were taught not to talk

A lot of the men I see waited years to reach out. The first thing I tell them: you're right on time.

About Marcus

Marcus built his early career in employee assistance programs, where he noticed the same pattern over and over — people, often men, showing up only when things reached a breaking point. His practice is designed to lower that bar: plain language, practical steps, and no expectation that you arrive fluent in feelings.

He leans on behavioral activation because it works even when motivation doesn't: small, concrete actions first, momentum second, meaning third.
