Connection
Friendships that go deeper than small talk: guys who check in, remember what you said, and actually show up.

Why we exist
It's okay to not be okay.
A lot of men are taught to keep it together, push through and handle everything on their own. That gets heavy. BoyTherapySeattle is a space to set some of that weight down.
We're building a community where men can talk honestly about work, relationships, stress, loss, purpose and everything in between, and leave feeling a little lighter and a lot less alone.
Real conversations
Talk about what's actually going on, not just sports and the weather.
No judgment
Show up as you are. Nobody here has it all figured out.
Room to grow
Small, steady steps, with people cheering you on.
What we're about
Three things we show up for.
Encouragement
A place where wins get celebrated, setbacks get support, and "I'm struggling" is met with "I've got you."
Community
A Seattle crew that's there for the long run: gatherings, walks, shared meals and the people who make a city feel like home.
Strength isn't carrying everything alone. It's knowing you don't have to.

Our vision
What getting together looks like.
The kinds of gatherings we're building, designed so it's easy to show up even if you've never done anything like this before.
Conversation circles
Small groups, a simple question to start, and space to talk or just listen.
Walk & talk
Side-by-side conversations on Seattle trails, waterfronts and parks. Easier to open up while moving.
Shared meals
Good food and good company. Some of the best conversations happen around a table.
Check-ins
Simple ways to stay connected between gatherings, because the week can get long.
How it works
Showing up is the hardest part.
We've made the rest simple. There's no pressure, no script, and no right way to do it.

Our principles

Simple agreements so everyone can speak freely.
01
What's said here, stays here
Respect each other's stories. Share your own experience, never someone else's.
02
No judgment
Everyone's path is different. We meet people where they are.
03
Listen first
Give people your full attention. Phones away, eyes up.
04
Support, don't fix
Offer advice only when it's asked for. Sometimes being heard is enough.
05
Pass anytime
You never have to share. Being in the room is enough.
06
Look out for each other
If someone's struggling, we make sure they know where to find help.

You matter. Help is available 24/7.
BoyTherapySeattle is a peer community, not therapy, counseling or medical care. If you're going through something serious, please reach out to people trained to help.
FAQ
Good questions.
Is this therapy?
No. BoyTherapySeattle is a peer community focused on connection and encouragement. It isn't therapy, counseling or medical care, and it isn't a substitute for professional support. If you'd like to talk to a professional, that's a strong move, and we'll always encourage it.
Who is it for?
Men in and around Seattle who want more real connection: whether you're going through something hard, feeling isolated, new to the city, or just want friendships with more depth.
Do I have to talk?
Never. You can pass anytime. Plenty of people listen for a while before they share, and that's completely fine.
Is what I share kept private?
Our first principle is "what's said here, stays here." Everyone agrees to respect each other's stories. As in any peer group, though, it's a shared agreement rather than a professional guarantee, so share what feels right for you.
What if I'm really struggling?
Please reach out for professional help. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 in an emergency. You don't have to go through it alone.
