Postpartum anxiety, depression, and birth trauma leaves us feeling crazy, guilty, and like bad mothers. You're tired of feeling like you're barely holding on. Maybe you can't sleep when your baby's asleep because you're worried something terrible will happen. Maybe you feel so overwhelmed by everything that you have to manage in addition to a baby that you feel like you're drowning. Maybe you had a traumatic birth and you don't feel like yourself anymore. Regardless, you're ready for relief. You're ready to feel more connected to yourself and your family. You're ready to be the kind of parent you've always wanted to be.

Are you tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and negative patterns? You may find yourself constantly replaying past events, struggling to let go of old wounds or feeling a lingering sense of resentment that you just can’t shake. These feelings might manifest as anxiety, difficulty trusting others, or a fear of vulnerability that keeps you from forming deep connections. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by emotions or notice physical symptoms like stress that prevent you from moving forward in life. I understand how emotional challenges can quietly sabotage your happiness and success.

It takes a lot of courage to decide to seek help with something that is bothering you or that is a struggle within your life. I find it to be an honor to work alongside my clients in their own journey of healing. Therapy is different for every single person, and an element I have found important, is to operate as a team together with trust and rapport. As a therapist, I am client centered with a focus on building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients, aiding in the ability to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I provide alternative views, and often times will encourage continued work outside of session.

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.
