Hi my name is Tanya Freedland and I am Licensed as a Clinical Counselor and an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am also the founder of the ARCS Institute that provides personality-driven individual therapy. As a recovery-oriented therapist, I believe that everyone has their own path to recovery and there is no "right" way to heal from mental ill health and substance use problems. I rely on cutting-edge research to enhance our work together and utilize a non 12-step, personality-driven approach that incorporates evidence based skills and strategies.

Do you feel stuck despite being highly self-aware? Have you tried talk therapy before, but it didn't really create the deep healing and relief you were looking for?

I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to experience well-being. In the therapeutic relationship, I like to think of myself as your GPS; I provide directions and different routes to help get you where you want to go, and you get to decide whether to follow these directions or take your own route. Either way, I’ll still be there supporting your journey.

Relationships can be so stressful. Finding common ground on parenting or values/beliefs at times feels impossible. A negative spiral begins where you don’t talk as much…you shut down, you yell, or maybe you just give up and walk away. You might begin to feel anxious or depressed and don’t know what else you can do to make this better for you and your family. Learning to communicate effectively and finding balance in your relationship can take work. I can help you and/or your partner learn how to improve communication, balance home/work responsibilities, and strengthen parenting strategies.

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.
