Would more men be open to going to therapy if they had resources tailored specifically for them, and if the office had Emotional Support Animals for appointment use?

In the US I feel like it’s just as much of an issue of access as it is, perhaps, a stigma that you “aren’t a man” if you go to therapy.
Therapy is expensive, and health care doesn’t always cover it.
The US government can find little space guys, but they can’t find me a good affordable healthcare plan.
The thing is, no one has to know you’re going to therapy. You don’t have to tell anyone and your therapist shouldn’t be talking about you either.

Often it really is none of their business.
Your employer should not have to know anything more than that you have a medical appointment. Any more is none of their business.
If you don’t want to tell your spouse that you’re seeing a therapist, your spouse may have issues to deal with and your relationship may also need a therapist. But it should be possible to go during work and they should never know.
Best wishes, my friend.
