It is entirely normal to feel uncertain about seeking therapy. Everyone has their reasons, and yours may be different from others. Perhaps you are seeking treatment to gain the skills to live a healthier, happier, more balanced life or to overcome depression and regain your hope and energy. You may be looking to put an end to the same arguments with your partner or find healthier ways to cope with stress instead of overeating. You may feel down and creatively blocked or struggling spiritually due to conflicting beliefs. Whatever your reason, know that it is valid and deserving of attention.

With more than 15 years in the counseling field, I have come to realize that getting rid of the sterile and clinical therapist stereotype is a must. My approach is relaxed and I know that sometimes, the best way to express yourself is with a handful of swear words. If you’re tired of reading the same ol’ self-help books, listening to the run of the mill life coaching podcasts, and getting unsolicited advice from your friends, you might just need a good therapist who can help you laugh while getting you through these rough spots.

I am an English/Spanish counselor whose main goal is to help my clients find hope, resilience and solutions to their problems. My academic and life experiences have shown me that most challenges and frustrations have solutions. I help my clients understand that the solution is within him/her during those moments when they feel they're unable to endure life's challenges and problems. We uncover the "where, when, and how" and then we find the "why" (reasons) underlying the feelings of doom and frustration. This allows us to discover and implement workable solutions.

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.
