About Fathers Therapy

Dr. Matthew Peloquin

Empowering Fathers. Restoring Balance.

Fatherhood is more than a title—it’s an evolving psychological journey that shapes identity, emotional resilience, and personal fulfillment. Dr. Matthew Peloquin founded Fathers Therapy to provide specialized coaching and support for fathers struggling with divorce, custody battles, parental alienation, and the mental health challenges that follow. His approach is rooted in scientific research, real-world experience, and a commitment to redefining fatherhood in modern society.

A New Approach to Fatherhood Psychology & Men’s Mental Health

Dr. Peloquin’s academic background in psychology, sociology, and communication sciences provides a unique foundation for understanding how fathers experience loss, grief, and emotional disconnection in the wake of divorce or separation. He earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Communications from the University of Massachusetts, followed by a PsyD in Counseling with a concentration in Men’s Mental Health and Divorced Fathers.

His work challenges outdated perceptions of masculinity, emotional suppression, and fatherhood roles—helping men develop emotional intelligence, resilience, and a renewed sense of self after major life changes.
