Does this sound familiar? You’re a high achieving individual and to the outside world, you seem “fine.” Maybe even better than fine, others likely see you as having it all together. The picture of success. They’d be surprised to learn that internally you struggle to feel fine and in fact, sometimes, you feel like you’re not good enough at anything. The perfectionistic standards are impossible. The self-criticism is depleting. The emotional labor is exhausting. You’re stressed, anxious, sad, and fantasizing about what it would feel like to “drop the ball” and not be the responsible one for once. I get it! And I can help!

The voice in your head never lets up. “You’re broken.” “You can't do this.” "You're not enough". Deep down, you know you’re not worthless, so why does this inner monologue play on a loop? Daily experiences encourage you to just go with the flow and not make waves. Social messages try to dictate how we should look, think, even feel. These messages are so prevalent that you’ve begun to internalize them. Now, it feels like the stress is just part of your new normal. It’s taking a toll on your well-being. You can’t sleep, you feel disconnected and overwhelmed. Something needs to change.

The changes of our time contain challenges calling for new forms of expression to strengthen the fibers of our social contract. The therapeutic journey is not only about the mind, it includes the full spirit as well as the body, integrating contexts of both past and present realities. This process invites a sense of familiarity that provides relief from suffering in isolation. This space offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories.

Life gets complicated - an unexpected medical diagnosis, a loss, parenting concerns, work or school stress, anxiety, depression - it happens. When these moments show up, we can feel as though we are removed from the here and now and have been taken away from the things and people that matter the most to us. In essence, we can end up stuck in a rut, doing fewer or none of the things that bring us joy, enrichment, or meaning. Perhaps one of these moments has shown up and you are looking for help getting out of your rut. Would you like to feel more grounded and present? Would you like to be living the life you imagined?

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
