Trauma, grief, stress, anxiety and depression can all effect how we view life. The thoughts that run through our minds and feelings in our hearts effect our bodies, behaviors and reactions. The first step to regaining real healthy control over your life is building awareness of your body, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Learning healthy ways to cope is equally important. There are many moving parts that are crucial for good mental health functioning. Having a treatment plan and an experienced professional to help guide you through all these moving parts will help ease the struggles that go along with your journey.

Life throws many surprises at us, while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. Do you feel stuck? Lost? Experience low mood? It may sometimes feel difficult to speak to a family member or a friend. As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. I can provide various lenses to consider common problems from. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, low mood, familial problems, interpersonal challenges, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are.

Anxiety and symptoms of depression are insidious. They have a way of invading every aspect of our lives leading to a feeling of overwhelming confusion and despair. Often, depression and symptoms of anxiety are pushed aside in an effort to ignore their effects. Ignoring the problem leads to difficulty identifying the real issues that need focus. I work with my patients from a place of health and happiness. We start by focusing on the future and desired outcomes. After setting goals for therapy, I will teach you effective methods and tools for relaxation and grounding. Goal attainment leads to real change and good mental health.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
