When a person experiences trauma or life stressors, quite often, their lives begin to disentangle. It may be difficult to reach out to friends or loved ones, and share the difficulties that are being experienced, however, help is available.

When I meet a new client, I like to acknowledge that therapy is a courageous choice. I think of therapy like walking down a wooded path. While the client is walking the path, the therapist is alongside with skills and knowledge to keep the journey safe and oriented in the direction of the client's desired changes. I consider this an important responsibility, so thank you for considering my services.

TRUST – It’s a simple word, but for those who have been hurt – physically, sexually, emotionally, or spiritually – it’s far from simple to do. Trust is not something I will expect from you initially, but something I will feel honored to earn, as our therapeutic alliance grows and we celebrate together the courage it took for you to seek therapy. I can help you discover what you would like your life to become, even if that sounds impossible right now. I am an LCSW with experience in working with adults and children. I believe individual change can break cycles of abuse and promote parenting styles to build up future generations.

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.
