I am here to help you identify the source of the problem through psychological testing. I test both children and adults and can help rule out whether the anxiety or ADHD symptoms are keeping you (or your child) from achieving both academic and personal growth. Moreover, at times, children have learning disorders that impede them from growing. By having your child tested, if applicable, your child can receive an IEP and extra time at school. There are many ways that psychoeducational testing can help you or your child. Call us for more information.

Is life about being happy? If a person were to ask you are you happy can you respond to that question truly, or do you smile and say yes. But the truth is when you think about it, you know there is something wrong, you can't seem to identify what it is- but you know you have slowly changed and now you do not recognize yourself. You know you have endured so much and just can't deal anymore - but the problem is if you are keeping to yourself/isolating inorder to protect yourself from more pain, are you really protecting yourself or just isolating yourself and keeping yourself from living your 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.
