I believe that we each know ourselves intuitively, and that throughout our lives we continue the process of exploring who we are, what challenges us, what drives and fulfills us. In our own way, we all strive to be better versions of ourselves and constantly look for different ways to do this, at times following a path that's not always clear. Sometimes life circumstances like traumatic experiences, transitions and stress get in the way and impede us from fulfilling who we’re meant to be- requiring someone alongside us to help facilitate the process of self discovery, healing and growth.

Competition should bring out the best in you, but without the right physical & mental preparation-it can bring out the worst. Any of the following sound familiar? You're in top physical shape, but unprepared mentally. You psyche yourself out + lose confidence before the competition. When things get tough, you lose focus + power. You have a love-hate relationship with your sport. Right now, it's more hate. You're injured + feeling low + disillusioned with your sport. You tick all the boxes: sleeping right, eating right, training right. But you haven't tackled the sport psychology piece yet.

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.
