Welcome to my profile. I applaud you for taking the first big step to seek out a therapist that you feel is the best fit. I believe that at some point in our lives, most people could benefit from receiving some additional support - especially from an outside perspective that focuses on only you. As beautiful and exciting as life can be, it can also be extremely challenging and overwhelming. There are many things in our lives that we cannot control, however, there are things that we do have control over which are the parts that I feel are important to work through together in therapy.

Are you going through a difficult change and need some support? Or maybe you are feeling "stuck," like you're repeating patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from having the life you want. Perhaps you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or lack of purpose. I believe in the power of human connection. Sometimes when we struggle, we don't want others to see our pain, so we isolate and keep it to ourselves. We may even paste on a smile and tell everyone we're "fine." Every single person on this planet experiences struggles, and reaching out for help is one of the bravest and kindest things you can do for yourself.

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.
