Tim Briggs

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I’m Tim Briggs, LICSW, and I have more than 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I created MMH Counseling Services to give men a place for honest conversation, practical support, and real-world solutions.

My focus is helping adult men deal with stress, improve relationships, communicate more effectively, navigate major life changes, and feel more confident in everyday life. I also help fathers strengthen their relationships with their children and become more connected, consistent, and confident as parents.

I offer virtual, in-home, and in-nature sessions for adult men in Massachusetts. The goal is simple: honest talk, useful strategies, and practical solutions that make sense in real life.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
