In times of uncertainty, loss, or just in our day-to-day struggles, it is easy to lose sight of who we are and what we want out of life. We all have the capacity to overcome challenges and make positive changes if we give ourselves the time, space, and support for personal growth. When we view ourselves as worthy, purposeful people, we are better equipped to handle life's challenges.

Past memories can be painful and prevent you from reaching your goals. You work hard to cope with the stress and demands of daily life, but you often feel that you cannot catch a break. You may know what is holding you back, but then ask yourself, "How do I move forward?" or "What can I do to become my true self?". You need a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss issues in the past and the ways they are affecting your daily life.

However, I’m very interested in the individual differences and experiences that lead up to these mental health concerns, rather than viewing them as a “one-size-fits-all” phenomenon. I’m interested in those experiencing current relational issues, family of origin concerns, attachment ruptures, and issues that pop up related to identity development in emerging adults.

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.
