Do you desire to live life fully as your authentic self but feel held back by patterns, thoughts, responses, and beliefs? For so many, the journey towards self-acceptance and healing feels like a maze of obstacles and frustrations. When we feel shame, dislike, or distrust in ourselves due to choices we have made or experiences we have had, it can be hard to engage wholly in our lives. This can impact all areas of life including relationships, jobs, health, and overall enjoyment. Therapy can help you find the tools and acceptance needed to heal.

Perhaps this feeling is new for you, or perhaps you've been struggling for quite some time. You might be feeling down, nervous, on edge, and maybe hopeless. Feeling this way can be incredibly isolating and painful, especially since the pandemic shut-down. It's all about action before motivation, and I can give you concrete tools to help you get moving, thinking differently, and challenging negative self talk. When we change how we think and act, we also change how we feel. This is how we get to where we experience more joy, be more present, enjoy a feeling of contentment, and increase our sense of ease.

With pressures of work and raising families, the rapid pace of life today can cause relationship distress. These last few years, whether single or partnered, all have endured untold stresses adjusting to the pandemic and returning to work afterwards. In addition to the normal stresses of life, military service with its demands of training and lengthy separations can magnify a family's suffering. We can all get trapped in a negative cycle of conflict and hostility or increasing alienation and distance. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can help individuals and couples create closer, more connected relationships.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
