Feminist Therapists in Louisville, KY

Hey! Much gratitude and appreciation that you stopped by. Are you dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self esteem? Do you sometimes wonder how you will make it through the day? Heartbreak? Trauma? I am a skilled psychotherapist who believes that my job is to meet each individual where they are by looking at the whole person in order to get them to where they want to be. I believe that change is made through establishing nonjudgmental, supportive and healthy relationships. My focus is to create a collaborative, warm and comfortable environment in which clients feel safe to explore their "TRUTHS".

Life can throw a lot of curve balls. Whether you are experiencing depression, work stress, relationship changes, or any other difficulty counseling is a great resource to help you take the steps to change the direction you want to go. My approach as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment to assist you in setting and meeting your goals.

1st Priority Healthcare provides services to children, teens, adults, and families. We offer an array of services that put the total well-being of our clients at the forefront. We also provide a day treatment program tailored to children with mental illnesses, and a host of other services for persons of all ages, and levels of need.

Seeking clarity? Therapy can allow you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change, help you make more intentional choices by offering deeper awareness of your perspective, and/or help you construct coherency or a different view of issues that are plaguing you. While I enjoy working with clients of varying backgrounds and ages (and all are welcome in my practice), I specialize in working with those who are suffering from anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, sex- and sexuality-related concerns, and who are aged 15+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Starting therapy can be a daunting task, between the fear of being judged and the dread of spending half your session explaining terms or acronyms that make up an integral part of your identity. All you want is to talk to someone who gets you. Maybe you’re navigating the process of coming out; maybe you’re on the cusp of a major transition; or maybe you’re tired of trying to fit yourself in a box that doesn’t seem made for people like you. It can feel lonely, frustrating, and even scary sometimes. I understand.

The transition into motherhood is hard, and it becomes even harder when things don’t go as planned. Add in the pressure to perfectly “do it all” and it’s no wonder women are often left feeling stressed, burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, and/or depressed. Many of my clients come to me with goals of finding peace, gaining confidence, healing from past wounds, and changing the patterns that are keeping them stuck. Whether you are just starting the process of trying to conceive, in the throes of infertility treatment, pregnant/postpartum, or years into child rearing - I get it and I can help you reconnect to what matters most to you.

Welcome! Who doesn’t want more tools for their toolbox? Substance use effecting your life? Struggling to manage mood? Need help setting goals and sticking to them? Unprocessed trauma? Relationship conflict? Taking proactive steps to private therapy means you recognize there are obstacles preventing you from living your best life and you are ready to address them. Good for you! I realize this can sometimes feel scary and confusing. You are not alone. Therapy is a very effective way to feel supported while gaining insight into your obstacles and learn how to resolve and move forward. Keep going!

If you are motivated to understand the conscious and unconscious forces and meanings that shape your experience and relationships; If you feel you are without choices; if you are struggling with questions of self-worth; if you are grieving; if you feel hurt, betrayed or abandoned, I encourage you to take the brave first step toward your self by entering into this safe space of non-judgment. I desire to create a safe and therapeutic space where individuals feel the safety to be seen and known.

Clients who come to me are people that have experienced very heavy things, and need a quiet place to unpack that. I believe that the person seeking therapy is the driver of change, and I help them navigate obstacles as they happen. Their goals are to figure out who they are now, and how they react to the changes that have happened after trauma. They want to challenged, and they want support as they take next steps.

You just want the pain, chaos, and emptiness you feel to go away once and for all. Whether it is eating secretly to comfort yourself, having to drink every night to sleep, pushing yourself to achieve, or isolating yourself. Attempting to balance family, work, and your self-care can feel overwhelming and tends to end with you feeling worse about yourself and how you can't get it together. Shame and guilt keep you stationary where you are, and if you had to admit that things were not where you wanted you might actually crumble. Let's figure out a new normal, together.

I specialize in dealing with issues regarding relationship stress, sexual challenges, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication, life transition, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, problem solving, conflict resolution, divorce, and loss. I really enjoy working with LBGTQIAP, Consensual Non-Monogamy, and Kink Relationships and Individuals. I would be honored to work in a collaborative fashion with you to foster growth and change through individual, relationship, premarital, marital, divorce, or sexual therapy.

I enjoy working with a variety of people. I know how difficult it can be to make that first step towards healing by seeing a therapist. I want to meet you along the way in making that step as simple as I can. My goal is to ensure that we are a good fit to collaborate and then determine what your most pressing needs are. I am especially interested in working with BIPOC individuals who are moving past cultural assumptions about mental health and pursuing healing in the midst of their doubts.

Taking the first step toward your own healing or help for your teen can feel overwhelming, but with the right support it doesn't have to be. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and person-centered environment for each of my clients. My goal is to walk with you on this journey, empowering you or your teen to feel confident in making positive changes.

Life is a series of transitions - some peaks and some valleys. I find these valleys often are a result of internal conflict and external events or pressure. I believe that we all have an authentic self and much of the internal conflict comes from living inauthentically, which develops into maladaptive behaviors. There’s “the way it seems” and “the way it is,” and sometimes we all need someone to remind us of “the way it is.” That’s where I come in - my goals are to work TOGETHER with you to navigate a new path toward living your most authentic life and finding inner peace and confidence to be that person.

With our world increasingly changing every day, feelings of ‘uncertainty’ are constantly on the rise. Often, we can find it difficult to consistently meet the challenges and demands of our given lifestyle. But add to this that we are frequently taken to task by a ‘surprise unknown’ or two: Lost jobs. Lost relationships. Health issues. Even a lost childhood pulling at you. Maybe all of the above, and then some! Of course, each of us tries to meet these unknowns to the best of our ability. And at times even our absolute best efforts won’t get us back on course.

I didn’t go to graduate school and study mental health to become a millionaire; I just want to help. I care about people and I hope to leave the world better than I found it. If you’re struggling, or if you’re just working on being your best self, I would love to speak with you.

We are all trying to do our best, but sometimes we need a little help in order to achieve our goals. Therapy provides a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in order to help you grow, change, and become the person you want to be.

Hello! I specialize in working with young adults, children and women, as well as those in the LGBTQ+ community. In-person when working with children, I utilize Play Therapy, Expressive therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in letting your child express themselves so they can heal from anxiety, depression, or trauma. I will create a safe space for them to learn to share their inner most thoughts and feelings. I often work with parents alongside their children so they can journey with us and learn helpful parenting techniques.

Every person is unique in their own way, and as such, so are their problems. Therapy is a unique and special journey for every individual and child, and it is my job to make sure I am there to successfully guide them through the process. I strive to help my clients break free from their feelings of despair, dissatisfaction, and dismay and gain or regain a sense of control, peace, and wholeness. While my specialty began in couples counseling, I have found that working with children and adolescents is what brings me a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
