For me, there is no ideal client. I accept my clients for who they are when they walk through my door. I believe counseling does not have to be reserved for when problems arise or for only "big" problems. The client is who decides what goals are important and my job is to allow the space for them to achieve them. I work with a range of ages, specializing in Child-Centered Play Therapy. Child-centered play therapy is not only for children. The principles of the practice can be applied to any age as it encourages building self-esteem, decision making, and utilizing an individual's own problem solving ability.

I am a very blunt therapist and will always lay out the process and what that looks like for each individual client. The intake can be very boring, as I ask many questions to gain an understanding of how I can help. I then make sure we have a mutual agreement when creating a plan for therapy that includes how we can recognize progress in therapy. I typically do not assign homework as I understand that there is not always time for homework with all of life's demands. I specialize in trauma and couples but have worked with many different diagnoses.

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.
