I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an abundance of training in anxiety, depression, stress management, marital/relationship issues, self esteem issues and adjustment disorders brought on by a major life change, such as divorce or a new baby. As a therapist I am very curious and seek to understand the client’s worldview, thought process, history, behavioral patterns, stressors and how they all contribute to how the person feels. My clients can expect me to listen to their concerns with a nonjudgmental stance and recommending different strategies to help them with what they are going through.

The intimate, yet convenient office setting I provide individuals and their families allows the protection of one's privacy and confidentiality while receiving counseling services. As a Mental Health Counselor I have truly enjoyed my work with children/adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with my clients and their families by providing healthy coping skills and empowering them to feel confident enough to achieve their goals in and outside of the therapeutic setting. Life can be difficult at times and I never want any of the individuals I work with to feel they are in it alone.

You lie awake at night, going over the day again and wondering where it all went wrong. Before you have time to figure it out, yet another hectic day has begun. As a parent of a child who has experienced a challenge or traumatic experience, it's like you're being asked to do it all. The problem is that there's never enough energy, time, or information to manage the difficult behaviors. Before you know it, you've seen multiple therapists and nothing seems to work. The parenting suggestions just don't fit the socially awkward tantrums, fits of rage, or your child's need to control. You're nearing the end of your rope, but what's next?

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.
