Practice has immediate openings for clients. I am currently not accepting new clients but my associate is: Giselle Ortiz Howard, who is bilingual and is offering telehealth. Please see her link attached below. As a therapist, "I am dedicated to helping my client's work through their issues and uncover what is the best solution for their individual needs. Change is rarely without difficulty and not always welcome, but most people who come to therapy are coming for that reason. They want their lives to feel more fulfilled but they need guidance, encouragement and understanding to complete this sometimes painful task."

Do you find yourself talking in circles and feeling lost, confused, and stuck? No matter how many times you try to talk it out with a family member or friend, you’re left feeling anxious, unsettled, or misunderstood. Your thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming, and the path forward feels foggy and unclear. No one really gets you, and deep down, you doubt anyone truly can. Despite feeling like you’re “too much," you also feel like you are not enough. I understand on an emotional level just how exhausted, lost, and stuck you may feel, and I feel confident that I can help you move towards relief, healing, and growth.

No two women will experience the road to motherhood in the same way and sometimes becoming a mom is not the experience we had anticipated for most of our lives. For 1 in 11 women (couples), infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss are a devastating reality they never dreamed would touch their lives. Reaching out for support is a great choice during this difficult time.

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.
