Jeremiah’s style is straightforward and practical. His background in teaching, parenting, and years of clinical work has led him to focus on what helps people move forward rather than stay stuck.
Because many of the men he works with are trying to change long-standing habits or finally face issues they’ve been avoiding, he often begins with a clear, solution-focused plan. He uses elements of modern cognitive behavioral therapy to help men understand what’s happening, make decisions, and see early progress.
Jeremiah holds, as Marsha Linehan does, that real behavior change begins with the cultivation of a “wise mind”—a steadier place from which people can see themselves without distortion. This is where he draws on what he calls charitable interpretation, a way of seeing the self, others and the world in the best possible lighting.

Jeremiah grew up in rural Maine in the 1980s, balancing long bike rides and his Nintendo. He studied writing and philosophy as an undergraduate, and taught high school for several years before becoming a father in his mid-twenties.
He earned his master’s in social work in 2012. Early clinical work in community and residential settings involved providing therapy and supervising case managers, covering both the structural and interpersonal dimensions of care. He then spent a decade in private practice with a diverse clientele, gradually focusing on the psychological demands placed on men.
Following a period as a stay-at-home parent, he returned to practice to address men’s mental health and the unspoken pressures organizing their inner lives.
He still bikes and games, though his tastes have evolved. He is currently enjoying Hades 2.
