Jed Diamond, PhD, MSW, LCSW

Founder/Director, MenAlive, CA

“I like helping people live long and well. All of life is part of my practice.”

I’ve always wanted to help people in need. When I was 5 years old, my father tried to commit suicide. This set me on my path to understand the emotional life of men and toward my current career.

Today, I’m a men’s health expert, therapist, author, entrepreneur and change agent. I have written eight books including “Male Menopause,” “The Irritable Male Syndrome”, and “Life Preservers: How to Survive and Thrive When the Ship of Civilization Sinks.”

Social work is one of the most useful perspectives I have found for understanding ourselves, understanding the world, and making a difference in the lives of all those who share this journey on planet Earth. I learned early on in my training to look below the surfaces of life and think broadly to see the interpersonal and social aspects of how to make a better world for all.
