Now Accepting New Clients - "My approach is sensitive and honest". I feel privileged to be a therapist and I appreciate the difficulty most of us have asking for help even when we need it the most. I believe that we often feel "stuck" in our lives because we lack balance, clarity and serenity; all of which are hard to find in today's world. We have what we need inside of us to transcend our experiences, however, a good therapist can assist us in getting where we want to be more quickly and safely. I believe trauma big and small is a part of our lives from the day we are born. Learning to care for self is essential.

Are you able to accept yourself as you are right now, while also committing to change? While you may be seeking therapy to get rid of a problem, what if we turn toward that problem, listen to it, and even notice how it is taking care of you? Ironically, this is how problems seem to shift. You may struggle with your capacity to feel present and authentic in your relationships. These struggles may have roots in what you first learned about love and closeness as a little person. In our work you can learn to embrace, understand, and take good care of this early imprint in your adult relationships.

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.
