Hello I am Mary O'Leary and I have been practicing Social Work since 1992. I have worked with children and adults in a residential and community based programs my entire career. My clients have ranged from Major Depression, Bipolar and Trauma Survivors to Adjustment Disorders and I have worked with both males and females. I believe very strongly that there is no person who is defined only by a diagnosis. I think that being healthy is a definition the client identifies and is only successful when that occurs. I also believe that people are capable of making good decisions for themselves when they are given support and acceptance

The first time looking through Psychology Today profiles can be overwhelming. It can still be overwhelming even if you’ve done it many times. You may already be feeling so stuck, so low, so unmotivated and maybe even be asking yourself the question, “what’s wrong with me?”. If that’s the case, combing through these profiles with so many words can feel like a lot. There is no shame in feeling that way and you are certainly not alone. My hope for you and everyone looking for help is that you can find a space where you feel safe and connected to work on why you are struggling.

My passion for families began earlier in my career as I had the opportunity to support families with a special needs child as their family advocate. This led me to see the importance of strengthening the family system through developing healthy communication skills, conflict resolution, trauma work and being the bridge for the family and the multiple providers that were part of their team. I don't believe there is an "ideal" client only someone that has courage to walk through the doors, share their story, and work collaboratively to find healing and joy within themselves. I love working with individuals and the family system.

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.
