When life happens, things can get hard and it is okay to ask for help. Sometimes one simply needs the space to be able to share those feelings and to learn how to manage and cope with support from another. Therapy is a normal part of that process, part of our wellness and simple put: taking care of ourselves. Life throws curveballs and sometimes when that happens, we don't know how to respond or process those moments which is how therapy can help.

Hello, I’m a second-year Master's student in the Mental Health Counseling program at Indiana University, Bloomington. As a life-long learner, I believe there is always room for growth and new beginnings. I have been a client and fully appreciate how intimidating it can be to take that first step, and I am on this new path in part because of how much I benefited from working with my own therapist. I hope to help others who might be feeling a little stuck, distressed or uncertain and strive to bring my authentic self, flaws & all, into each session to create a safe space for honest sharing & reflection.

I believe a non-negotiable in a recovery experience is allowing someone to be authentically heard. It is a space that encourages emotional and physical detachment from challenges and an opportunity to intentionally integrate the desirable and undesirable events of life unfolding. Transparency and exploration can take place in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental holding environment. This process allows dignity and respect to navigate choices, solutions and empower discernment with action steps. Individuals can be truest to themselves and discover strengths in the duality of what they might have originally perceived as weaknesses.

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.
