Looking for recommendations for a good therapist in Karachi — preferably someone people have personally had a positive experience with.
My brother is 25, and the last few years have been extremely difficult for him. It started with our father’s passing in 2024, followed by major setbacks in work/business, and now a divorce. He’s been struggling to navigate life through all of it.
We did try connecting him with a male therapist closer to his age, especially because my brother has a tendency to experiment with substances occasionally and we wanted someone who could understand him without being overly judgmental. But he refused to properly engage and keeps making excuses to avoid sessions.
Part of it seems to be discomfort with opening up to another man about emotions, and we’re honestly not sure how to approach this without pushing too hard or making him shut down further.
If anyone has experience with a therapist in Karachi who works well with men dealing with grief, life setbacks, emotional avoidance, or substance-related issues, I’d really appreciate recommendations or advice on how to help someone actually agree to therapy in the first place.
