I’m Dr. Daniel Bates. A licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC-S) and assistant professor of counseling at Truman State University. For more than 16 years I’ve specialized in helping men, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, compulsive sexual behavior, and the quiet pressures of “being strong.” My research and writing focus on positive masculinity and male-specific therapy, and I am the founder and co-chair the ACES Men’s Mental Health Interest Network.
