It’s easy to find ourselves ‘stuck’ – whether in negative patterns of thinking, hurtful relationships, or in the all-to-familiar traps of anxiety and depression. Over my nearly fifteen years of clinical experience, I’ve helped clients (single and married) from all walks of life bridge the gap between where they are and where they long to be. For some, growth looks like re-established relational connections, more effective communication skills, healthier boundaries, or greater self-acceptance and contentment with life.

Your journey of self reflection is no small task. It can be painful, but through support and guidance you can find peace as you work through pain, anxiety and depression that life brings. It will make you feel vulnerable and takes a lot of courage, but it can also set you free. “Honest self reflection opens your mind to reprogramming, change, success and freedom.” (Author unknown)

It’s easy to feel hopeless and overwhelmed when everyday is marked by constant worry. It can seem like no matter what new trick you read about you can’t kick the worry to the curb. It’s been months, maybe even years, and the burden of it feels too much to carry. You worry about friendships, worst cast scenarios, having a panic attack in public and you try to look like you have it all together. It's likely that everyone believes that you do have it all together. You have gotten pretty good at wearing that mask over the years, but you're tired of playing that role. Freedom from the cycle of anxiety is possible.

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.
