As a former Division 1 Athlete and current Trailing Spouse, I am here to serve the ATHLETE and EXPAT communities. Athletes, you might have access to free resources at your school/university/college but sometimes it's nice to talk to someone outside of your athletic department because they might be part of the problem and you might feel more comfortable talking about your struggles with someone else "gets it." Expats, we know RMO-Ps aren't always available when we need them and local therapists might not be able to relate to our lifestyle or culture. I understand life inside the bubble without living inside of yours.

Is your life or relationship not unfolding as you envisioned? It’s common to find ourselves feeling adrift after a series of challenging events, making it hard to see a clear path forward. If you’ve reached a point where you recognize that something needs to change, you’re not alone. Navigating stress, anxiety, depression, conflict, or dissatisfaction on your own can be incredibly challenging.

They won't talk to you like they used to and you're at a loss for what to do next. Becoming a person is hard and teens may be weighed down by anxiety, depression, social difficulties, or trauma. Teens have unique needs and deserve a therapist who specializes in helping them grow and thrive.

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.
