Sometimes we just need someone to help us through the hard times. You may be struggling with an issue that's been on your mind or impacting your life for a while. Perhaps you've experienced loss, or a key relationship has changed. Maybe you're anxious about going back to work in person, or about children returning to school. Or feeling sad but can't figure out exactly why. If you've tried endlessly to remove the obstacles that keep you stuck, attempted but failed to learn new ways of dealing with relationships, or have problems that seem too difficult to change on your own, then perhaps together we can find a better way.

Pregnancy and parenthood can evoke a mixed of emotions that may be overwhelming and scary for some new and expectant mothers/couples. I received training to become a Perinatal Mental Health Provider to work with women, parents and families that have been impacted by a Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder, women that are experiencing postpartum distress and couples who want support transitioning into parenthood. Unresolved conflicts, mental health concerns and relationship issues can negatively impact maternal mental health, parental mental health and your child's development.

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.
