Schwenksville, PA 19473 (Online Only)
Sometimes we are too close to our own lives to see our situation clearly, or we get stuck in repeating patterns and knee-jerk reactions. Sometimes fear and limiting beliefs about ourselves and others get in the way of living the life we want to live. It is a sign of strength to recognize this, and to seek an outside perspective. My approach to counseling is client-centered and intuitive. People know truth when they hear it - it resonates. I have found over the years that finding and following this resonance, works at deeper levels and consistently yields the results my clients are looking for. It is the foundation of my approach.

Some guy once said: “Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s being afraid & doing it anyway.” Hi! I'm Alison. :) I’m a licensed therapist. I’ve also been in therapy myself on & off for over 20 years & experienced the life-changing benefits firsthand. I understand what it’s like to question your identity & self-worth. Like you, I'd developed survival skills that at one point seemed to help protect me & navigate the world. But over time it became clear they were holding me back, getting in my way, & harming me.

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.
