Do you feel stuck, stressed, anxious or depressed? Psychotherapy can help when the same old, same old isn't working anymore. The goal is to help you find your way to a better place within a private and confidential relationship. One of the primary components of successful treatment is the therapeutic relationship. Ideally there is a give and take between a client and their therapist and I strive to create a safe and informal environment so that this can take place. My focus is working with high functioning adult clients who are actively engaged in discovering new ways of being. Please go to debsteigerlcsw.com for more info.

I have been working in the counseling field for 20+ years and have been privileged to listen to the hearts and souls of clients who've experienced a myriad of emotions when reflecting on their interpersonal journeys. My traditional practice is client-centered, so that I can provide an empathetic approach and guide clients through challenging reflections. Providing a safe space for clients to process their feelings at their own pace and work through personal experiences is something that gives them the autonomy to recognize and process their own emotions. I believe that CBT emphasizes this process and is crucial to their journey

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.
