Brene Brown says, "Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, & change." The courage to engage in therapy is an adventure of self-exploration and self-understanding. It is seemingly risky to step out of your comfort zone, but the rewards of compassion and healing spur new ideas, new ways of being, and a greater sense of who you are. This process shapes a more authentic self that gives meaning to life experiences, and present ideals. Abraham Maslow says, "in any given moment we have 2 options: step forward into growth, or step back into safety." The risk is well worth it!

Are you struggling to get over something or someone? Life can throw us curve balls that we don’t expect and don’t want. If you’re trying to end a relationship, improve a relationship, or get over one – whether it’s a significant other, family member or friend – it’s hard to see the road to feeling happy again especially if that relationship was difficult or toxic. Therapy can help you understand and manage the emotions and negative thoughts that can accompany changes in life. Growth isn’t easy, and you don’t have to work through it alone.

I am Danielle Gillotti, a licensed and fully credentialed Art Therapist (ATR-BC, LCAT). I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years. I entered the field of art therapy because I have always found the human brain and how we respond to our emotions fascinating. Art Therapy combines my passion for psychology, human development, and creative self-expression. The use of more creative therapeutic interventions and non-verbal-focused interventions is crucial to processing stressors and life events, as we may not always have the specific words to describe how we are feeling and why.

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.
