Women's Issues Therapists in Medfield, MA
Have you had a great idea, a POP, only to talk yourself out of it? Started a project but abandoned it, telling yourself it was too overwhelming or just not doable? Wanted to try something new or different and been discouraged by your own thoughts or the words of others? We all have, haven’t we? I certainly have. So what is the driver behind our stopping, getting distracted, being “too busy” and talking ourselves out of actions and desires that will lead to greater fulfillment or happiness? Fear! Fear stops us from all things possible, from opening up and receiving the brilliance that this lifetime offers!

Have you felt the insecurity of being "different" or the guilt from fantasizing about your birth family? SAME! As both an adoptee and a therapist specializing in adoption issues, I help adult adoptees navigate the unique challenges of our circumstances. Issues such as identity, trauma, attachment, relationships, and the lack of genetic mirroring, which can impact adoptees at various life stages. Significant events, such as the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, or a family reunion can be particularly difficult. My approach is client-focused and together, we will work through this to develop more effective coping strategies.

In working with clients, I consider the whole person, their mind, their body, their spirit. These three aspects aren’t separate but are in dynamic conversation: chronic physical symptoms are connected to our mental and emotional states, our feelings of depression relate to how we treat and relate to our bodies and sensorial lives. I enjoy supporting people facing life’s challenges, who are looking for a somatic dimension to their healing. I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult relationships, cope with grief and chronic illness, process the pandemic, and manifest greater depth, vibrancy, and purpose in their lives.

Balancing the challenges of work, school, and home life can be overwhelming. Are you tired of coming home at the end of another long day and finding yourself exhausted and distant from your loved ones? Are daily stressors getting in the way of you enjoying the activities and people you love most? Does self-care feel like an afterthought as long as that assignment is hanging over your head? Without support and strategies to help balance your time and manage your anxieties, you’re likely headed towards burnout. Perhaps you’re already there.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. It can be messy, painful, overwhelming, difficult, and downright exhausting. But I believe that change is always possible. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, motivation, adapting to change, or just the stress of day to day living then therapy can help. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, therefore it is important to find a therapist that meets your specific needs. I provide a welcoming and safe environment to help clients define goals, identify strengths, and make positive changes.

This practice is based upon the reality that a mother’s wellbeing cannot be understood or supported without respect for her “mom work.” Mom work is invisible work. So - mom worry, mom anxiety, mom blues, mom guilt, and most especially, mom anger, becomes a negative judgment of a mother's "normalcy," rather than what it truly is: mom reality. Not a diagnosis, not “what’s wrong with me,” not an inability to do the work. Just mom reality, unsupported by respect for her work, and ultimately, unsustainable. Unless we push back to reclaim this ancient journey. You may wish to glance at my website to explore what I mean by this.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
