Meet the founder
Randy Cook
Randy spent a 35-year career leading various healthcare organizations and raising a family. Randy believes toxic masculinity is as much symptom as cause of personal and societal pain. Randy has suffered from the effects of toxic masculinity himself, and has sometimes been a perpetrator of it. Randy has been working and growing in the “men’s work” community since 1996. In retirement, Randy is focusing his experience, compassion, and wisdom on helping men heal themselves, their families, and their communities.
Randy has spent time training for this new role through a Master’s degree in Theological Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. In addition, Randy has and continues to engage in numerous certifications and training workshops, expanding his understanding of the ways men THINK, FEEL, and CHANGE. The training, experience, and compassion allows Randy to offer counseling for men, individually or in group sessions, lead and organize retreats and workshops for men, and to support men’s organizations trying to do the good work.
Credentials: Randy Cook, MPH, MTS, MACHMC, Certified NMMNG Coach, Initiated man with Illuman, Initiated Warrior with the Mankind Project, and A Blessed Elder with Men’s Leadership Alliance. Clinical practice is operated under supervision and in affiliation with Weston Crafton Ph.D., LMFT, AAMFT.
Fees and Insurance
It is a core value at Brothers Counseling that access to care should not be limited by a person’s insurance or ability to pay. Direct insurance payment is not accepted, but you can still benefit from your insurance coverage by seeking reimbursement directly. I can assist you in seeking direct reimbursement from your insurance carrier. The rationale for not taking insurance is simple. While I am happy to discount therapy fees for persons in need, insurance contracts require me to discount fees for the insurance company’s benefit, not the client’s. I prefer to see clients get that benefit.
Individual therapy services are offered for $150 per hour. A discounted fee schedule is available for those in financial need. Group therapy services are offered at a flat fee of $40 per session.
