I get it. You want to be seen-instead of feeling as if no one "gets it". Most days, you're trying to quiet that tiny voice in your head that tells you all the things that could wrong. Maybe some days you just don't have the energy to even pretend anymore. It's hard to try and hold it all together on the outside, when inside is barely hanging on. But here you are-reading this and looking for someone who will understand. You are worth more than what those anxious or negative thoughts tell you.

You have been through so much and you are dealing with a lot. It is overwhelming and life is not exactly going as planned. Mentally, physically, and emotionally, you are silently suffering because something has changed and even your closest family and friends don't get it. To make matters worse, through all of your challenges, you still have big goals! You set the bar high for yourself and are not meeting your own expectations. Maybe you are struggling with the adjustments of a medical diagnosis or a major life event and feelings of anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty have crept in. Ease, acceptance, joy, and success would be nice...

So many times we delay prioritizing what we really want; whether that is to resolve past trauma, restore relationships, improve communication, learn better parenting practices, support our family members, reduce symptoms, or increase our quality of life. With support, we are all able to reflect on and discern how to achieve our goals. I can provide a rich history of understanding trauma, healing, hope, and change.

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.
