Sometimes life just gets too heavy and you just need to unload it somewhere. The idea of coming to a random stranger to speaking about your concerns can be daunting and scary. Will they understand me? Is my issue even worth talking about? What if I don't like my therapist? These and so many questions run through your head as you look through the list of therapists. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with the space and comfort to explore your own story, your own adventures, and your own growth.

Do you feel constantly lost, exhausted, or overwhelmed and you are just trying to survive and make it through another day? Do you wonder how you can better manage your life or make it easier for yourself? Now more than ever we are feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed about how we are supposed to manage our relationships, careers, and life transitions. Pushing away our needs and not taking time for ourselves can lead to long-term issues for our mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life and we are more than capable of blooming into the best version of ourselves.

My typical client is not looking for a one-size fits all approach, they are looking for a creative solution, one which they have not already tried themselves. Initially coming in for therapy my client may feel anxious, depressed, have insomnia, relationship troubles or struggle with putting their phone away. I enjoy working with teenagers who spend too much time on their phones and are showing signs of emotional instability. I enjoy helping families and couples who are drifting apart, yet want to earnestly work on mending their relationship.

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.
