Women's Issues Therapists in Opelika, AL
I specialize in adolescents counseling, self-esteem, and women's issues, being a mother.
My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in finding their own path to improve overall health and quality of life through a greater understanding of self, relationships and happiness. You are tired of feeling the way you do, and that's okay. It is brave to take this first step, and I am thankful for your courage to act. As a former teacher and school counselor, I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression and school related issues, etc. I have seen how demanding this period of life can be and how having the right support system in place can make all the difference.

I work with all ages who are dealing with fears, anxiety and stress. The pressures of life whether it’s your job, school, relationships, infertility or a traumatic event can leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, unloved, lonely, and broken.

Life has a tendency to be very unpredictable, even when we feel like we have it all figured out. Sometimes it's helpful to have someone to walk with you through its challenges... or to have someone willing to get in the trenches with you as you navigate grief, loss, stress, past trauma, and hard life transitions.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
