Scared? Uncertain? Feeling like no one will understand how you feel or know how to help? Do you think that even a “professional” will judge you or not understand what you’re going through? I get it… Making the decision to ask for help is hard- it takes courage. I think most of us would like to think we can deal with whatever life throws at us- until we can’t. … and the proverbial "shit hits the fan". My goal is to help you confront the issue(s) standing in the way of the life you want. You don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes we all need a new perspective to consider. In the most simplistic of terms, that’s what therapy is about.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. Elise and Jennifer at HRA-North can promise you that they are as real as it gets! They want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, Elise and Jennifer don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but they hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how they can help.

You are not really sure what you may be feeling, but you do not feel like you. Something feels off. Maybe you have gone through some recent life changes and want to feel connected to yourself. Maybe you have recently become aware of some trauma and want to begin the journey toward healing from it. Life can lead us to feel different emotions, which lead to different thought and behaviors. One day we wake up and are not sure how we got here. The incredible thing is, we can heal. We can create space for what we want, for peace, for confidence, to bring love into our lives, because we know how to offer it to ourselves.

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.
