I'm Alyssa Stines and I definitely didn’t plan to work with men.

But I kept seeing the same pattern: smart, driven, successful men—men who were respected everywhere except in their own home.

They weren’t checked out. They weren’t heartless. They just didn’t know how to connect. And it was costing them more than they wanted to admit.

I know that dynamic well. My own marriage ended in part because of it. We had the stability, the shared life, the plans—but we didn’t have the emotional connection.

When I finally tried to share what I needed, I wasn’t met with presence. I was met with a “fix.” He thought solving the problem would make it go away. When it didn’t, he shut down. And when I didn’t meet his unspoken needs, resentment grew. That’s how we ended.

What hit me hardest wasn’t just the divorce—it was watching other women sit across from their husbands in my office… men who were willing to do the work my ex never was.

That’s when it clicked:
Most men do want to get it right.
They just don’t know how.

So I made a shift. I moved away from traditional therapy and into coaching—where I could give men practical tools, honest feedback, and direct support that actually helped them reconnect at home.

Some needed to go deep. Others just needed someone to finally explain what’s been missing and how to fix it—without losing who they are in the process.


What I Believe

  • You don’t need a personality transplant to connect with your partner.

  • You weren’t taught how to do this—but you can learn.

  • Emotional presence isn’t weakness. It’s leadership.

  • You don’t need to become more masculine. You need to become more human.

I work with high-achieving men who are done guessing. Who want to stop walking on eggshells and start showing up in a way that gets real results.

I’m not here to sugarcoat things. I challenge my clients. I call out the BS. And I bring just as much compassion as I do clarity.

I believe the relationship you want is possible. And I know how to help you get there.
