It happened again. Another intense relationship where you end up feeling broken, betrayed, and abandoned. “How am I supposed to trust people,” you wonder, “if everyone I care about hurts me?” You’re consumed by what people think of you. A minor slight in traffic or a sideways look from a coworker can send you spiraling into insecurity. You desperately long for some relief from this pain. You have big aspirations and want so badly to break free from your self-doubt and pursue them. But you’re scared. You’ve put yourself out there and been hurt so many times before that you’re unsure if you can do it again. It feels hopeless.

What else can I do? Your daughter isn’t getting any better. You got her a therapist. A psychiatrist. You even participated in therapy yourself. But still, she’s not any happier, calmer, or easier to live with. In fact, things seem to be getting worse. Her emotions and behaviors are becoming more erratic. She comes home late at night, dropped off by strange older boys. She always wears long sleeves, and you think it’s to hide her self-harming. Every attempt to talk to her just leads to another vicious screaming match. You know just how capable, smart, and fun she can be, but you’re terrified you may never see that side of her again.

No matter how hard you try to help your teenager, it doesn’t make any difference. He’s angry all the time. He skips school and is failing his classes. The other day, you smelled alcohol on his breath. He seems to be spiraling out of control. It’s so hard to watch your child suffer and be unable to help him. You wonder where things went so wrong. You treated him just like your other kids and did everything you were supposed to. But you can’t help feeling like you’re failing him as a parent. His behavior is affecting your entire household and taking an emotional toll on your family. You desperately want to help him but don’t know how.

An ideal client is anyone who is willing to show up for themselves. Therapy can be intimidating and uncomfortable, and sometimes the last place a person wants to be. When that person shows up to their session despite this, and with a genuine hope to change their life for the better, we can begin working towards whatever that means for them.

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.
