Austin Pohevitz, LPC

I am Austin Pohevitz, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in work with boys and men. My clinical background includes family and child counseling, school-based therapy, and extensive experience working with men in incarcerated settings.

My work focuses on providing structured, practical mental health care for men navigating stress, identity, emotional regulation, relationships, and major life transitions. Much of modern therapy relies heavily on unstructured conversation, which many men find difficult to engage with or sustain.

I offer a grounded, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes clarity, accountability, and forward movement — meeting men where they are, and helping them build insight alongside practical change.

Why This Practice Exists

Many men struggle to engage with traditional therapy models that rely primarily on emotional disclosure without structure or direction. Over time, this can lead to frustration, disengagement, or the belief that therapy “isn’t for them.”

Pushing Boundaries Mental Health was created to address that gap.

Rather than viewing masculinity or male identity as something to be corrected, this practice approaches these traits as essential components of balance, responsibility, and growth. Therapy here is not about dismantling who you are — it is about helping you understand yourself more clearly, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with intention.

Men deserve spaces where they can engage honestly without being judged, minimized, or misunderstood.

My approach is grounded, structured, and collaborative. Sessions are goal-oriented and focused on helping clients build insight while also developing practical tools for change.

Depending on the individual, therapy may include traditional psychotherapy as well as structured, movement-based or experiential options designed to improve focus, engagement, and emotional regulation.

When clinically appropriate, I may incorporate movement-based therapy — including golf simulator sessions — as one option within a broader therapeutic framework. These sessions are not recreational; they are intentionally designed to integrate movement, rhythm, and real-time experience into the therapeutic process while maintaining the same clinical standards as traditional sessions.

The goal is not novelty — it is effectiveness.
