I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider the quality and the nature of the therapeutic alliance to be one of the most important aspects of therapy. Through motivational interviewing and by using the strengths perspectives model, I will assist patients into establishing new perspectives, improving self-awareness, and utilizing personal strengths to create more meaningful life experiences. I also believe therapy is not a “one size fits all” model, which is why I tailor my approach by using various therapeutic modalities specifically designed for each client.

Whether the distress you are experiencing emanates from internal or external factors, psychotherapy can help. In my many years of practice, it has been my privilege to work hand in hand with my patients to find new pathways of understanding and new options for moving forward. Reaching out for some assistance is not a sign of weakness but rather of courage - the courage to face what is troubling and to take the sometimes difficult steps to regroup.

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.
