Sometimes people come to therapy because something big has happened. Other times, it’s harder to explain. Life looks fine on the outside, but inside things feel heavy, lonely, disconnected, or just not the way they used to. Maybe you're feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, navigating a life transition, or realizing you’ve been carrying a lot on your own for a long time. You might be asking yourself: Why do I feel this way? Why does this keep happening? How do I move forward? I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection.

Each of us have experienced a point in time where we have been overwhelmed by trauma, problems at home, work or in the community. These problems may be issues including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, work place violence, death of a loved one, co-parenting, anger, divorce, work place stress or substance abuse. These stressors may impact daily life and can become overwhelming and require the need for outside support from a trained, licensed professional in order to work through challenges.

Women's Issues Therapists
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.
