The Center for Men's Excellence

The Center for Men's Excellence Founded by Dr. Dan Singley, CME psychologists provide evidence-based interventions for men, couples, children and families.

CME therapists work with clients who seek to improve their quality of life, with a particular focus on men, couples, families and children aged 8 and up. Clients take part in scientifically-supported psychotherapy treatments to more effectively manage a variety of issues including anxiety, stress, and depression. By learning to apply well-researched psychological techniques, clients are able to experience considerably higher quality of life and long-lasting relief from their concerns. The Center for Men's Excellence is also home to dad-focused parenting classes called Basic Training for New Dads. In addition to these dads classes, Dr. Singley also provides counseling for new dads and couples interested in keeping their newly-expanding family as strong as it can be even in the midst of adjusting to life with a new baby.

A 2023 survey by Men’s Health revealed that 95% of men believe mental health is just as important as physical health. We have a clear sign that perspectives are shifting in the right direction. This growing recognition shows that we’re making real progress in breaking down the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. Let’s keep the momentum going by supporting open conversations, encouraging self-care, and reminding one another that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Together, we’re building a healthier future for both mind and body.

Expectant fathers enjoy an informal, hands-on class that provides practical information and a real boost of confidence about handling the baby's impending arrival.

Participants connect with other expectant dads, and also have the opportunity to talk with a “veteran dad” who has been through the class and brings his infant with him to the class. Dads-to-be get to hear directly from the new dad about his experience—and practice diapering, swaddling, soothing, and burping the baby.

Dr. Daniel Singley and Dr. Jena King will explore the crucial role of caring and emotionally available fathers in fostering secure attachment. They'll also address the general role of fathers’ mental health, experience of a caring type of masculinity, and how paternal depression relates to attachment, specifically examining the relationship between fathers’ depression and pre-adolescent attachment to their fathers. The talk will also cover a reconceptualization “Dad 2.0” as reflecting an inflection point that may allow for more willingness on men’s part to enact more caring relationships in their lives.

According to RAINN, 2.78 million men in the United States have been victims of sexual violence since 1998.This is an often overlooked and underreported reality that is taboo among the discussion of victims of sexual violence. Men are survivors too. Breaking the silence, challenging stigma, and providing support are essential steps toward healing and prevention. Together, we can create a culture where every survivor is believed, supported, and empowered.

SB 626 would expand perinatal mental health support, ensuring more screenings, coverage, and accountability for providers & insurers. Starting 2026, every health plan would cover medication and digital tools for perinatal mental health. Legislation like bill SB626 help take steps to remove the label of being secondary caregivers for dads and include them in important mental health statistics like parental status for male deaths.

Male sexual abuse is a critical yet often neglected issue impacting men across the United States. In 2024, a CDC study revealed that nearly 25% of men have endured some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes. The stigma and shame associated with sexual abuse can create significant barriers for survivors seeking essential support and healing. Organizations like menheal.org and MaleSurvivor are vital, offering compassionate care and resources to male victims. By spreading awareness, we can work together to dismantle the stigma surrounding male sexual abuse, ensuring survivors receive the help they need to heal and thrive.

Recent statistics from the Anxiety & Depression Association of America indicate that almost 10% of males experience anxiety and depression, yet less than half of those affected seek professional help. The belief that discussing mental health is "unmanly" severely diminishes men's quality of life and leads to unnecessary suffering. Talking about mental health can help break the stigma and create a safe and welcoming environment for those who need help.
