Sometimes we get stuck and can't move forward because of the way we feel about ourselves. We may beat ourselves up for mistakes we made in the past and when we think about the future we are filled with fear and doomsday scenarios. Therapy can help you identify your distorted thinking patterns and free you from feeling trapped. Sometimes we get stuck in comparing ourselves to others and this leaves us feeling like we are "less than." or somehow "fatally flawed." Therapy can help you develop self-compassion leaving you more peaceful inside and accepting of yourself leading to increased moments of joy.

Are you feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself? Are you working to change old habits and self-sabotaging behavior? These women's issues can manifest into depression, anxiety, or a state of consistent stress or low self-esteem. Women experience many disruptions during their lifetime and during the creation of their self-hood. It may feel like you have lost yourself and lost your sense of identity. Women also experience an overwhelming sense of emotions. For women of color, the pressure to reconcile racial identity, language, economic disparities, and bi-cultural obligations can create feelings of sadness and powerlessness.

Ready to talk about it? Let's start therapy together! I work with children, adolescents, and adults all across the gender spectrum and in the LGBTQIA+ community. I provide education to families, discuss concerns related to gender and sexuality, and review the co-occuring mental health issues that sometimes accompany different gender identities. For trans individuals, the world of puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and changing name markers can be overwhelming—I'm here to help with that, too. I’m happy to write gender-affirming letters for procedures or institutions.

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
