Apprehensive about therapy? It is normal to be nervous or anxious before attending a therapy session, especially your first one. You are not alone! It is great you are considering therapy, acting on the desire to find a safe space that would allow you to identify, describe, learn, and better cope with challenging situations, behaviors, and emotions. Many people do not know what to expect from their first session and feel ambivalent or apprehension about beginning the counseling process or starting over with someone new. Do not allow fears about the unknown or issues with trust to delay/prevent you from getting help.

Trauma leaves you feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from yourself and your loved ones. Deep down you are struggling to manage your intense emotions. You tear yourself apart when you mess up. You may feel shameful and guilty with no space left for joy. You know when you try to relax all the thoughts and memories come rushing in. Some nights it might feel like there’s a DVD playing your most painful memories and it feels unsafe. You want to hide and can’t trust anyone. You judge yourself. You see the world around you is handling things much better than you. You ask yourself “Why can't I be normal, why can’t I get over it".

There is nothing too big or too small for a reason to come to therapy. Therapy is for people that feel that they want to gain more control in their lives and understand more of themselves. You might ask...Why does this get on my nerves so much? Why can't I just leave this alone? You really might just feel tired and overwhlemed. Your goals might seem so far away or just not achieveable at all. Do you feel like you are just there?

Feeling stuck! You’re repeating patterns, unable to create the life you want, and shackled down by anxiety, fear, and depression. There is a constant critic in your head that creates more emotional pain, and there is no energy or confidence to do the things you want to enjoy. Relationships have left you feeling disappointed. You don’t know how to make your circumstances better, but you are desperate to find a way to move forward. It’s been a struggle to make changes in the past, not knowing exactly how to move forward and release your emotional burdens. It seems as though nothing has worked.

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.
