Let’s just call it how it is: being a teenager and young adult today is hard. The pressure and distractions can make it tough to see beyond the grip of anxiety and depression. It may feel like a far-off fantasy to live a life where your values drive your decisions, your motivation leads you to your goals, and your self-compassion is your rock on the tough days.

Danielle Maronick LW00009607 I have always had an interest in how the brain works and how we think about things that affect our outcomes. I am a believer that changing our self-messaging can impact our lives. This process is done through an exploration of the past, present, and future. I approach my practice as a journey in which we look at past relationships, and present relationships, and hope for future relationships. I find how others have spoken to us and how we speak to our ourselves have powerful impacts on our lives, goals, and relationships.

I have also been working more with women who have had fertility challenges or heartbreak/loss.
Life throws obstacles in our path which can knock us down and make us feel helpless. Things like trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship troubles can cause you to feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I believe through supportive therapy, hope, peace, and healing can be achieved, for a renewed sense of self. You do not have to do this alone.

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.
