George Fuentes, M.A.
-Psychotherapist providing Modern Men’s Counseling for Orange County, California Residents
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Orange County and men’s issue therapy expert working with men of all backgrounds. I specialize in working with men navigating the modern world and it’s distractions, men who strive to be the best versions of themselves, husbands, and fathers.
Addictive behaviors, marital relationship strains, and emotional dysregulation shouldn’t be running the show, and yet, it feels like everything is intensifying.
Stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, a lack of motivation, and an overwhelming feeling of being stuck becomes the norm.
“Working harder” stopped working a while ago and now you find yourself full of frustrations, negative mental dialogues, the need to self sooth through substances or the need to escape to just get through the moment or day. Allow Your Strengths to Overcome Your Fears
My approach
Breaking Down Modern Men’s Issues and getting to the root
With a combination of education, specialized course training and personal experience, we can explore where you have been, where you are now, and where you would like to be. Experiencing frustration with the feeling of being overlooked, unappreciated, and unloved doesn’t have to lead to undesired behaviors that result to intensity and tension. Men’s issue counseling can be used as a tool to sort through the mess when we meet, and send you out to the real world to perfect.
I’m not promising it will be easy, but it will be worth it.

Couples Issues
Whether you have been in a long-term relationship with your girlfriend, are currently engaged, newly married, or married with children, you probably know relationships are not easy. At the same time, she is the one and your time will be better spent on understanding the why underneath the emotions or how to set healthy boundaries in order to get to the relationship you always imagined.

Emotional Regulation
It can be difficult to explain what exactly is going on before you are beginning to raise your voice, isolate, gravitate towards a substance or have a panic attack. Stress, confusion, anxiety, loneliness, shame, guilt, or frustration don’t have to be the emotions of everyday. Come and explore the process of obtaining emotional regulation, a skill not possessed by many.
Addictive Behaviors
Drastic changes need to be made when working with addictive habits/behaviors. Whether you find yourself smoking weed every chance you get, drinking most days of the week (or significantly more than your friends when you go out), taking pills to cut the edge, or losing valuable time masturbating or watching pornography, you have the power to break free from these dangerous and negatively life altering habits.
Why I Care
I understand the mixed signals society sends us, the pressure it puts on us to perform, and the confusion experienced when things just aren’t working out. Whether you struggle with addiction (or addictive behaviors with weed, pornography, alcohol, pills, masturbation, or extramarital affairs), romantic relationship stress, family dynamic conflict, past traumatic experiences, or the need to make sense of the struggles men face (work stress, performance anxiety, depression, panic attacks), contact me. Together we can navigate and overcome barriers to reach your goals.
Call/text or email me to see if we are a good fit and begin the process of reaching life changing goals. You already have the strengths and skills to overcome the barriers in your life, let’s find out what is holding you back.
About Me
If you scrolled down this far, it means at least one thing I typed above resonated with a part of your life. Awesome! I am glad you are here. My name is George Fuentes, LMFT and I am a husband, father, son, and brother. I pursued licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy to help people like you and me make sense of life and get the most out of it. I have struggled with stress, anxiety, addiction and negative thoughts about myself and my capabilities. I know it isn’t always easy to get up and find the motivation to do the important things in life. I have often said, “If you can’t say you are enjoying your life, it is time to make some changes”. Although this is true, it can sound more like a “feel good statement” without any understanding or action. Allow me to join you in making sense of your life experiences and struggles that have simultaneously qualified you to overcome obstacles WHEN come your way.
