Men’s Concerns

Perry Clark

The question is: What is tangling you up? Are you tangled up in anxiety, sadness,& doubt? Are you held by insecurity &uncertainty? Are you slowed by feeling disconnected & getting caught unaware? Have the paths become overgrown and you can’t find or are questioning the sign before you? Growth is about using and building new skills, all of which take time, and nurturing. Growth is about finding solutions that apply to the situation and not just the general world. Both of these are elements of the hope. Hope is something we need to move us through the day, and it does require updating.

We don’t live in isolation, which means it’s very easy to get tangled up and mired in things, situations, people, and feelings that keep us from growing. We need to understand them, so we can cut them away or down, to allow you to move forward with new skills and hope for living.

We don’t learn to tie our shoes or hold a fork instantly. It takes care from those around us to do so, and it isn’t easy. It’s a skill I hope we can find together.

Seeking therapy?
I have helped others learn how to reduce their worrying, stress, depression or just the daily struggles of life. I’ve assisted parents in learning how to manage their growing teenagers behaviors. I’ve worked with families on learning how to get along better. And I have helped those with a traumatic past, learn how to manage the many feelings that come with trauma.

Seeking a training or workshop?
I specialize in trainings around true cultural humility in a gentle, yet unapologetic fashion. Particularly issues that plague the African-American community. These trainings often lead to uncomforable feelings, that are needed, which help those who participate begin to reflect on a deep level. I also specialize in trainings around trauma in the community and in the home. In addition, I provide self care retreats that remind, refresh, and restore those in the helping profession. Encouraging them to remember that one cannot effectively care for others if you don’t care yourself first.

If you’re looking for extra support, guidance through a challenging situation, or you’re interested in attending one of my workshops or trainings, feel free to call or email me. I look forward to working with you to help you bloom into your best self.
