About Edwin Dilone, LCSW

Hello, I’m Edwin Dilone

I specialize in helping men navigate mental health challenges and build more fulfilling lives. I offer therapy tailored specifically to the unique needs of men. My clients often describe me as "chill, friendly, genuine, and warm." I prioritize creating a safe, trusting therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

I'm passionate about helping men overcome feelings of anger, sadness, depression, powerlessness, futility, shame, guilt, fear, anxiety, discontent, and the overarching sense of being lost.

How my passion developed

As a young man, I struggled with handling tough emotions at work, home, and in society. I faced depression, anxiety, worries, and fears while navigating the community.  I often needed space to be alone.  It was very isolating to face my insecurities and fears after setbacks. Deconstructing my negative emotions and feelings turned out to be an essential and healthy part of my development. 

In retrospect, by directly addressing my experiences of anger, sadness, shame, guilt, fear, and discontent, I have taken ownership of my identity as a flourishing and thriving man. This process has enabled me to develop compassion towards other men facing similar challenges in their lives. As a result, pursuing a career in the field of mental health became a natural choice for my vocation.

How I live out my passion as a therapist

I am deeply committed to supporting men on their journey out of chronic mental distress. I understand the unique challenges and pressures that society places on men, and I believe that therapy can play a crucial role in overcoming these "internal dragons" and finding a path towards mental healing and a fulfilling life.

Your interest in professional therapy is an important first step. I am here to offer guidance, support, and a safe space as you work towards finding mental peace and fulfillment.

How I help other men

My extensive training and experience as a therapist specializing in men's issues have equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges men face. I recognize the societal expectations placed on men to be pillars of strength and the internal conflicts this can create.

Life's journey inevitably brings challenges that can leave emotional scars. Often, men feel compelled to hide these wounds, leading to unresolved shame and vulnerability. These unhealed wounds can manifest as difficulties in various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and social interactions.

My approach to treatment utilizes evidence-based psychological tools and an eclectic blend of proven therapeutic modalities, tailored to address your specific needs. I am committed to helping you navigate these challenges and achieve personal growth.
