Tension is building inside of you and lashing out or shutting down seem to be the only way to deal with this feeling. But this is not how you want to live your life. Acting in these ways is harming you and your relationships. You vow to stop this, to do things differently, but it keeps happening over and over again. They say you are “too sensitive” or you need to “lighten up.” But it just feels like no one sees you or understands you. There is so much responsibility on you and when you are dismissed the resentment gets even bigger. You can't imagine how therapy can possibly help when it feels like everyone else is the problem.

Traditional talk therapy is highly beneficial, but what happens when it’s just too painful or scary to talk about? Since trauma gets trapped in the mind AND body, it causes emotional and physical symptoms requiring approaches that go beyond talking. Thanks to advances in neuroscience, you CAN free yourself from the anxiety that has hijacked your nervous system, feel safer in your body & stop the fear cycle. We can unlearn our nervous system’s response to trauma & rewire our brains to live in the present, rather than reliving the past. Managing the effects of trauma can feel daunting and lonely, but healing need not be done alone.

What is therapy? Can that answer be the same for every person? My belief is that therapy is not a one size fits all process. It’s a journey that has many twists and turns, and can vary from person to situation. It is my honor as a psychotherapist to be on that journey with my clients, to help guide them towards their goals and most importantly uncovering their purpose for it. Seeing personal growth and therapeutic success for a client makes it all worth it and reminds me of my purpose in the mental health field.

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.
