Greetings all. My name is Regina Bryan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10+ years in mental health counseling. While I'm not wedded to any one particular theoretical model, I like to use an approach that integrates many disciplines to address mental health and psychosocial issues. A few of the models I use in therapy are Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, Strengths Perspective, CBT, Motivation Interviewing, and Mindfulness, in addition to breathing and grounding exercises. My focus areas are Depression, Anxiety, SUD, and other forms of emotional/mental distress.

An ideal client to me is someone who wants to improve their mental health and practice self care. Therapy not only can improve mental health, but it improves communication and helps the client gain insight into themselves. They may not know exactly what is causing them to feel so much depression, anxiety, anger and/or the multitude of emotions we humans feel. Therapy can help bring out what is inside, what is down deep. The ideal client is someone who is motivated, the rest will fall into place!

Let’s be real. Life is hard. It is messy and crazy, and sometimes, it feels out of control. Your house is a mess, the kids are screaming, the dog needs to go out, the garbage is overflowing, your boss needs this project done yesterday.... You just cannot get a moment to think straight. Then there’s that thought in the back of your mind that you are not doing enough, that you’re not enough. You’re questioning yourself and feeling overwhelmed. You have lost that spark, that thing that excites you, your true self. This is where therapy comes in. This is the time to take care of you!

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.
