There needs to be psychology that comes from a place that understand what todays realities are: Men need help and a great many of those men have been raised by women. That means they can use some male influence but at the same time they won't all identify with traditional male behaviors because the overwhelming female influence of being raised only by a mother has permanently impacted them as a person.
If you are or were in an abusive relationship, obviously you do not want a feminist therapist who will automatically see you as a perpetrator. He will not be able to feel compassion for you. He will clearly see you as a problem that needs to be fixed.
MAybe there are some cases where female therapist would be desirable, but in most cases probably are detrimental.
I've seen Psychologist twice on 3 separate stints. My results are as follows.
My Mom died when I was 13. My Dad took my brother and I to a Psychologist. The Psychologist was a Man. We saw him for 1.5 years and helped tremendously. He got us out of a hard time. We also did a group therapy with other kids who lost a parent and it helped too.
Saw another one in college for about a year. The Psychologist was a Woman. I had some moderate PTSD from tour in Iraq with USMC and a mentally abusive relationship I was in. She wasn't very much help. I finally fixed issues by ending relationship and reconnecting with old friends I served with. But she prolonged the situation much longer than it should've gone on. I graduated college, but my mental health was poor for several unnecessary years.
Saw another recently for a year. The Psychologist was a Man. It was due to a custody battle I was in with previously mentioned emotionally abusive ex. He helped tremendously and got me to a good spot. At the time I was denied access to my Son and she was using parental alienation and legal system to threaten me, along with false child abuse claims. I fought the charges and gained 50/50 custody and reduced child support. I'm currently fighting for primary custody, but from a strong legal position and much better mental health position. He was a big part of that.
This is purely anecdotal evidence, and I'm sure there are Women Psychologist that Men see that are great and in the loop on Men's issues and treatment. But there a lot that don't care or aren't abreast of the modern issues. A good Psychologist will get you to work through problems utilizing talk therapy and helping with your thought process.
I think this i huge issue for Men's health. Thanks for bringing it up. And if anyone is reading this that is suffering, seek treatment with a (preferably) Male Psychologist.
Main difference is feminist psychology is literally the "new normal" now, whereas traditional psychology is literally viewed as "sexist".
99 PERCENT of psychologists are using feminist biased approaches.
And I say that as someone who has a few psych qualifications.

It just seemed like you were trying to validate feminist psychology. Sorry if I misinterpreted it.
