At first glance, everything may appear fine, but deep down you're wrestling with the impact of your past trauma. You're stuck in difficult patterns, struggling to get through the week without breaking down. You're feeling frustrated with therapists who only address the surface of your issues. The thought of trusting yet another therapist is daunting, and the fear of what might come up during therapy often holds you back. Despite these fears, there's a part of you that truly wants to heal and longs to break free from your past.

Welcome! Hello, I'm Gina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals find peace and self-compassion on their journey toward healing. I believe that healing can take many forms—whether it's found in the embrace of nature or through meaningful human connection. My role is to serve as an anchor, offering support and guidance as you navigate your path to inner peace. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion alongside mindfulness. While mindfulness can bring clarity, it also has the potential to expose deep-seated shame when we see ourselves clearly for the first time.

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.
