Are you working too hard to make others happy? Do you act like "everything is fine" but inside feel exhausted from keeping it up? Add on anxiety and overthinking as an attempt to rebuild your self esteem and it can turn into a vicious cycle where you are never quite good enough. You deserve to cultivate more peace within yourself, let go of your concerns about measuring up and feel calm enough to focus on what's truly important to you. It can feel defeating to navigate this on your own, but you are in the right place for help. We can use EMDR as a powerful therapy approach for clients with anxiety, stress and trauma.

Sometimes it feels like you’re just moving through the motions of life, staying busy yet feeling anxious when you finally slow down. Maybe you notice brain fog or a sense of disconnection. Maybe you’re doing so much, and yet it still feels like not enough. If this sounds like you, I want you to know your feelings are valid. On the outside, life might look okay, but inside you might feel tired, unfulfilled, sad, anxious, or overwhelmed. It’s okay to make a big deal out of what feels big to you. You deserve a safe place to pause, reconnect, and do the soul-searching that can bring more clarity, healing, and balance.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
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 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.
