You feel the pressure to be "on" all the time- with the kids, at work, in all of your relationships. You may even be everyone's go to person, always willing to lend a hand. On the inside, it feels like you are drowning from all of the stress. That might look like snapping and being more irritable with your kids or spouse, and then feeling guilty afterwards. Or, having a really hard time setting boundaries because you want to make everyone around you happy. One thing is for sure, you don't want to go on this way and are ready for some relief.

I often see clients are hesitant to begin therapy for fear of needing to tell their life stories. This isn’t my style; I am much more interested in what is happening here and now. The details of the experiences that have happened previously will reveal themselves as needed throughout the therapeutic process. In therapy, my clients drive the bus and I simply help navigate them through the experience. I believe the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is one that is built on trust and collaboration, which takes time to develop. My goal is to provide the type of therapeutic environment that my clients are looking for.

For over 20 years I have effectively helped people to understand and change what interferes with their confidence, relationships and the ability to cope with life transitions and losses. Coping skills that are destructive (or healthy coping skills that cannot be maintained) lead to feeling “stuck,” which adds to frustration and self-doubt. Once this cycle is understood, healthy, sustainable coping skills can be easily learned and implemented. This is life changing!

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
