I work with men who are ready to move beyond just managing symptoms and want to understand what’s really underneath: the stories, pressures, and unspoken rules that shape how you show up in your life. My approach blends depth psychology with practical tools, drawing from both clinical training and personal experience navigating rigid systems. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you find a more authentic, whole, and grounded version of yourself.

Werking
Werking
At Werking, we believe men’s mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. Too often, men are told to “push through” or stay silent, but real strength comes from doing the work of healing. Our approach combines therapy and medication management to help men build resilience, balance, and confidence.
We know it takes effort to face challenges head-on, and we’re here to meet you where you are, walk beside you, and put in the work with you. Because when you show up for yourself, therapy truly starts Werking

Dr. Joanne Heith

Welcome. I’m an individual, couples and group therapist, offering sessions in person in downtown Brooklyn, NY. I offer 30 years of experience in the field. I’m also a professor of Exercise Science and Psychology.
I would like to encourage men to consider interpersonal group therapy. Men need and want what we all want, that is to feel connected. No tools to learn, handbooks to read, no feelings to ‘manage’ or ‘regulate’. Thoughts and feelings are not bad or good, they provide information about dynamics, current and past. Consultations regarding membership in this diverse, inclusive, in person, Downtown Brooklyn group, is free of charge.
