Do you live with a secret belief that you are unlikeable or unlovable? Are you normally able to keep it out of your mind so you feel OK, but then something happens in a friendship or relationship that brings the painful feelings back into focus? Part of you thinks that maybe if you talked with someone you could feel differently, but part of you just hopes it will pass so you don't have to think about it again. I want you to know that you are not the only one who has these beliefs and that they can change. "The only way out is through" - Robert Frost

Often people seek therapy because they have an idea of what is wrong and what they want to change in their life. Other people don’t know, yet they know that something could be better or is missing. If you haven’t been successful in what you seek, it doesn’t mean that you are weak or that it is not possible, or that there is anything wrong with you. Sometimes we know what the barriers are. Sometimes we don’t. Sometimes it is just a matter of looking in the right place.

There is an irony to healing. It is a process that requires self love and motivation, and at the same time the lack of motivation and lack of self love is part of what needs healing. We have an ability to smile or laugh externally while it may not truly match the way we feel inside. This results in not feeling fully known and feelings of loneliness amidst relationships. We are walking around with various types of traumas or betrayals from being hurt by those who should have been protecting us. There is anxiety, depression, identity crises, and the stressors of life. Yet there is hope to find peace and contentment and rise again.

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.
