I have expertise providing holistic mental health therapy to first gen women.
You want to appear successful and confident, but deep down you are struggling with experiences that have you questioning your purpose and self worth. Toxic cycles can keep us feeling stuck and lead to feelings of overwhelm and despair. You may feel like you can't stop over thinking, or are having trouble finding purpose and meaning in your life. Life can bring us challenges, transitions, loss, and even traumatic events that can make it hard to move forward and live your best life. These experiences can lead to anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. Life doesn't have to be this way, and you don't have to navigate life on your own.

Our pain is a portal that can lead us to the freedom we desire if we have the courage to look at what hurts. Our pain can show up in the form of depression, anxiety, health issues, addictions, grief, shame, and blame. I believe healing is less about how our pain manifests and more about the messages our pain is trying to convey to us. With a gentle curiosity, we can start to explore these messages and uncover the root of the unhealed parts of ourselves that desperately seek our attention and compassion.

Life is a series of shifts. These shifts, though valuable, may have left you feeling overwhelmed and wondering who you are becoming in this season of life. Questions about who you are, what you want and how you want to navigate this next chapter of your life may leave you sleepless and feeling unfocused. I definitely understand this experience. It’s exhausting and at times brings up feelings of isolation and frustration.

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.
