You are capable of feeling happier, more secure, hopeful, confident and less stressed so that you can fully enjoy your life. We know life will be very hard at times due to relationship struggles, grief and loss, work challenges, financial issues and also our world becoming more overwhelming these past few years. When we experience difficult life challenges, we are more likely to feel a spike in our anxiety and may feel sad and unable to find peace. Meeting with a trained therapist who cares about your well-being can help ease these symptoms and offer a place to begin healing.

Modern life is not for the faint of heart. Days packed with nonstop tasks, endless decision-making, and the feeling that ‘you’ll never catch up’ can take a toll on your mental health and the hope you have for the future. Thinking clearly and finding sustainable peace and harmony often seems impossible. Your past experiences, the situations you’ve lived through, and what you’re dealing with now can all influence how well you cope and connect. We often feel fragmented, broken, and needing to be “fixed.”

For some of us, the challenges around managing our stress, anxiety, and feelings of depression seem extraordinary. Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with sometimes. Maybe you are experiencing negative and intense mood swings. Maybe you are finding it difficult to carry on at school or work. Maybe you are having trouble connecting with others and are experiencing conflict in your relationships. You might feel inadequate, hopeless, fearful, anxious, and stressed. If this sounds true to you, I want you to know that even though you may feel alone, you are Not.

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.
