Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

Does your brain get stuck sometimes? Perhaps it’s an idea, thought, image that you just can’t get out of your head. It may drive you to think certain things or do certain things to help get the uncomfortable or even scary feelings to go away. You may fear that you may one day hurt someone else or yourself, against your will and outside of your control. Perhaps you feel locked into doing things over and over again - whether it’s touching an item, pulling your hair or some other repetitive behavior that you can’t just get out of. If that’s you - then Anna Slaydon with Greater Hope Counseling Inc PC can help.

Is fear or anxiety getting in the way of your child enjoying the things they used to? Maybe it’s taking up so much time that they can’t do the important things- like making friends, going to school, or spending time with loved ones. Your child may fear that they will do something they didn’t mean to or something bad will happen, outside of their control. Perhaps they feel stuck doing the same behavior over and over again to try to find relief, just to find themselves scared and worried again. These experiences can be very painful and isolating, and if it’s your child, very confusing. If this sounds like your child, I'm here to help.

In the therapy space, I value the importance of having your feelings and experiences validated. When it comes to a typical session with me, we will discuss what is important to you while integrating therapeutic skills you can use outside of our sessions. I am pretty laid back and although I am here to aid you in learning skills and more about yourself, I will lean on you to be the master of your own life.

Being stressed may feel normal, but it doesn't have to continue. Your days are full, you are tired, and taking care of yourself comes in last place on your to-do list. From the outside looking in you appear driven, responsible, and confident, but it never feels like enough. The things you are pouring yourself into don't feel as fulfilling as they once did. You feel accomplished, yet empty; successful, but waiting for the other shoe to drop. You've worked hard to build your life, but you know you want to, and need to, make a change.

Part of being human means facing stressful and frightening situations. Most of the time we can tolerate and cope with these. Other times our problems become unmanageable. Situations, problems, relationships, work, school and other life experiences produce thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviors that become so overwhelming we begin to believe that we will "never" find a way to get through it. If your feelings and thoughts seem too big for you to manage at this time then I would be honored to join you and assist you to find new strategies and information that will help you cope more effectively now and in the future.

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.
