Have you gone through a traumatic experience or faced a sudden, unexpected loss? Do you now find yourself seeing the world, others, and even yourself in a completely different light, as if nothing feels quite right anymore? Maybe you're still managing to function, but making more mistakes or forgetting things. Or perhaps you're struggling just to get through each day. Are your nights restless, filled with sleeplessness or unsettling dreams? If any of this resonates with you, it's likely you're feeling utterly drained—physically, mentally. I invite you to take time for yourself and learn ways to heal and recover with EMDR therapy.

It's the middle of the day and suddenly an unpleasant memory comes to mind. Your heart starts to race, and an overwhelming fear invades your body. You fall behind in your responsibilities and avoid hanging out with friends. The more you try to avoid reacting to these feelings the more overwhelmed you become. It starts to feel like you are stuck and that no matter what you do you are never going to be able to get past that moment.

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.
