In a world that often encourages stoicism in men, the realm of mental health can become shrouded in silence. At Be the Change in Mental Health, we recognize the unique stigma surrounding men's mental health issues and are here to break down the barriers preventing open dialogue and resolution.
The unspoken stigma: A man's mental health challenge
Men, just like anyone else, face their own set of mental health challenges. However, societal expectations and stereotypes often dictate that expressing vulnerability is a sign of weakness. This can lead to a unique stigma, where men may feel compelled to keep their mental health struggles quiet, letting issues persist unresolved.
Our mission: Breaking the silence
At BTC, we understand the importance of breaking the silence surrounding men's mental health. We are committed to fostering an environment where men feel safe, supported, and encouraged to seek help without judgment.

Traumatic experiences and sexual abuses
Experiencing trauma can deeply impact a man's mental well-being, leaving lasting scars. The emotional aftermath may surface as conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and various other mental health challenges. These issues often cast a heavy shadow, influencing every facet of a man's life, including family and work environments.
Sexual abuse can also affect men. Approximately 3% of men in the United States, equating to 1 in 33, have encountered either an attempted or completed rape during their lifetime. Shockingly, 1 out of every 10 victims of rape is male.
At BTC, we acknowledge the gravity of these struggles and are dedicated to supporting men in overcoming them. We recognize the delicacy of revisiting past trauma, potentially reopening emotional wounds, which can hinder healing and disrupt your present life. Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers an alternative that doesn't necessitate delving into the analysis of the traumatic events that brought you to seek treatment.
BTC is an exceptional facility that provides transformative services. The welcoming atmosphere and empathetic, skilled staff create a safe space for healing. Their unique approach, especially with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, serves as a catalyst for deep mental and emotional growth. As someone navigating personal challenges with childhood trauma, depression, and anxiety, I've personally experienced the profound impact of their services.
They guided me to overcome bad habits, adopt healthier ones, and confront and release emotions linked to traumatic experiences. This journey, while challenging, led me to let go of the immense burden I had been carrying. I've also observed the significant effects these services have on other individuals seeking a better life direction.
I highly recommend Be the Change in Mental Health for anyone looking to enhance their mental well-being. P.S. Dr. Cammy Michael’s unique approach and knowledge was an important factor in my healing, thank you so much for your kindness and wisdom and playing a crucial role in it all.
Prioritizing your mental well-being is essential for both your health and happiness. It is not an act of selfishness but rather one of selflessness, and you absolutely deserve to experience joy!
