Most of us live our lives according to patterns. What if we can disrupt the pattern and create a new pattern? A pattern of empowerment. A pattern of willpower. A pattern of happiness. Sometimes, all it takes is a new pattern to create a transformation. Many people assume that admitting you need help means you are broken. I believe that there is no such thing as a broken person, only people looking to find wholeness. At RCW Wellness, I am here to assist you in finding your wholeness.

Are you seeking a therapist that is creative, easy to relate to, and a connection that is safe, trusting and reliable? Not to mention experienced. Everyone has different needs and circumstances, whether it be trauma related, relationship issues, life altering events, grief, mental health or health related needs, or just plain stress and critical life decision making. It is helpful to have someone to talk that out with, a person who can offer a fresh perspective and skills in navigating through these issues. Possibly in a brief or longer term treatment.

When children and teens are in crisis, so are their families? Is homework time stressful? Is your child unhappy? Does he/she not have friends? Is the teacher complaining that he/she is not paying attention to the lessons? Are you concerned your child's grades need to improve in order for he/she to be promoted to the next grade level? I help children learn ways to calm themselves so they can better pay attention. Through playing games which may involve math or reading, they begin to feel a sense of success and find learning can be fun.

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.
