Therapists at the Center for Men's Excellence, founded by Dr. Dan Singley, work with clients who seek to improve their quality of life with effective, evidence-based therapy modalities.

Our clinicians also include Dr. John Rettger, who sees individual clients and is also an expert in couples therapy, family therapy, and therapy with children aged 8 and up.

Dr. Hudson Jones provides therapy for men, couples, and teens aged 13 and up. He also offers group therapy with men & has special expertise working with men and couples before and after the birth of a baby, making him an excellent choice if you are looking for a perinatal therapist. He has extensive experience applying well-researched approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and interpersonal psychotherapy for the management of anxiety and relationship concerns with adult clients in individual and group therapy.

Dr. Maxwell Maris is a U.S. Navy veteran and is passionate about working with men and their loved ones in managing stress, trauma, and the relationship issues that often accompany these experiences, including communication and anger management. His approach blends ACT, CBT, and trauma-informed exposure-based techniques in individual and men's group therapy.

Our clients take part in scientifically-supported psychotherapy treatments to effectively manage a variety of issues including anxiety, stress, depression and other life challenges. By learning to apply well-researched psychological techniques, clients are better able to improve their quality of life and experience lasting relief from their concerns.

Therapy for Optimal Cognitive Health

Patients receive strategic, focused, science-based psychotherapy treatment which balances support and challenge. The Center for Men's Excellence applies research supported therapeutic approaches that provide patients with the tools they need to set clear goals and manage their own lives more successfully in an ongoing way rather than attending weekly therapy sessions year after year.

“Dr. Singley’s straight-forward approach helped me to learn skills to manage my stress and develop better ways to connect with my friends and family. I now have the tools I need to live the life I always wanted.”
