In this episode of Doc Secret, our guest is Dr. Dan Singley, Founder and Director of the Center for Men’s Excellence in San Diego. A licensed psychologist, researcher, and past president of the APA Division on Men and Masculinities, Dan shares his unexpected journey from studying whiteness in graduate school to becoming a national leader in men’s mental health and perinatal psychology. Inspired by the birth of his son and a pivotal early career moment, he shifted his focus to understanding fathers’ experiences and building programs like Basic Training for New Dads and International Fathers’ Mental Health Day. Along the way, he combined research, clinical practice, leadership roles, and entrepreneurship to reframe how mental health professionals can engage men meaningfully. This episode explores themes of identity, leadership, behavioral health innovation, and the evolving landscape of modern masculinity.
