**WAITLIST LINK FOUND AT BOTTOM OF PAGE** I know parenting is tough. Especially when your child's behavior is making you feel completely burnt out and inadequate when you've tried everything and nothing seems to be working. The anxiety you feel when the phone rings, praying it isn't your child's school or daycare again. It doesn't have to be this way. I can help you create a world where you won't dread a conversation with your child's teacher. I have over 13 yrs experience in the clinical field and 6 yrs experience with parent training.

Life can present us with unexpected situations that throw our world into chaos. We may have to make changes or learn how to cope in a new way that allows us to feel successful. We also go through internal changes that affect the way we feel or think about life even when nothing round us has changed. When things happen, talking about the situation can yield new understanding about our behaviors and needs. Therapy can lead us to feel better able to navigate the waters of life.

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.
