During my professional career, I have helped many clients with issues in these areas. Life is complex, and even the most successful and intelligent people need help at times.

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.

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.

Are you an adult who was recently diagnosed ADHD? Hi! Continually feeling overwhelmed is a sign that your current life is NOT sustainable and that change is desperately needed. You’re exhausted. You thought things would get better with time but they haven’t…. and to be truthful, they probably won’t unless change is consciously made. Trapped emotions can keep you tied to patterns that aren’t fueling the version of you that you want to be. That you choose to be. A new diagnosis, or curiosity around one from what you've heard from friends or seen online, can shed light on ways to support your best you.

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
