Female Therapists in East Rochester, NY
I work with individuals who find themselves at the crossroads of life. This experience can be confusing and scary. We find ourselves asking: What direction do I go next? Who am I now? Do I want the same outcomes as before? Do I have the same hopes and dreams I started with? These are all questions we will explore together using self-reflection and coaching techniques. I work with individuals as young as high school experiencing sports injuries, to adults entering their retirement years. Life changes look different to each individual person, and should be treated and respected as such.

Life is never a straight forward path. We encounter ups, downs, curveballs and all sorts of detours along the way. Sometimes we need support with those challenges, regardless of how big or small. This can be in the form of starting a new school, relationship problems, family discord, anxiety, depression or simply going through a new phase in life. Though we don't know what life will bring us, together we can work on how to better manage stressors, anxious thoughts, focus, repairing relationships and getting back on track to the life we want to have.

“Mountains know the secrets we need to learn; that it might take time, it might be hard, but if you just hold on long enough, you will find the strength to rise up.” -Tyler Knott Gregson. Making the decision to change any aspect of your life is a big step towards living authentically and with fulfillment. Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, struggling with not feeling like yourself, or burdened by the impact of unprocessed trauma can make this step seem daunting. Together we can take that step, work towards a stronger sense of self, better handle triggers and work through past traumas.

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.
