305: Normalizing Therapy for Men & Reframing Vulnerability - with Dr. Audra Horney, Licensed Psychologist
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
Dr. Audra Horney is a licensed psychologist and founder of a thriving private practice devoted to men’s mental health. Known online as “the therapist for men,” she helps men untangle the emotional, relational, and cultural pressures that keep them disconnected from their true selves. Her work blends clinical depth with cultural commentary, destigmatizing therapy for men and reframing vulnerability as strength.Beyond her 1:1 therapy practice, Dr. Horney offers therapy intensives and men's retreats, including the upcoming “Drop the Mask: From Protector to True Self” retreat in Moab, Utah scheduled for April 2026. Through her viral social-media presence and weekly newsletter "You’ve Got Male," she’s redefining how men and those who love them think about emotional health, authenticity, and modern masculinity.In this episode, we share a conversation on vulnerability in the therapeutic space and what it looks like to normalize men's mental health in our everyday lives, not just in the therapeutic space.We talk about some ways men may show up differently in the therapy room, the role social media (especially TikTok) plays in normalizing men’s emotions, and how anonymity online can actually create space for deeper honesty.We also discuss what it means to balance authenticity and boundaries as a therapist, and how clinicians can advocate for men’s emotional wellbeing, while holding space for nuance and understanding.FOLLOW DR.
