Female Therapists in Allison Park, PA
Struggling self-esteem, depression, or anxiety? Are social skills a challenge? What about ADHD or high functioning autism? As a parent, school counselor, and therapist, I know how difficult it can be to find counseling that kids WANT to go to that actually FITS into our busy schedule. That's why at Happy Tails Counseling, we provide engaging canine-assisted counseling sessions that go to you - whether at school, church, or a doctor's office. By utilizing a client's interest in animals, the body's natural oxytocin release during animal-human interactions, and CBT techniques, counseling at Happy Tails is fun and effective.

Therapy provides a space for safe exploration, connection and expressive development. My younger clients might be working to better communicate their needs or process trauma in non-verbal ways. They may be gaining the cognitive skills to work through anxiety and depression to better thrive in social settings. They might even be teens or adults searching for affirmation and nurturing of their inner child, which I support through guided talk therapy and encouraging new creative outlets.

As a health psychologist, I work with people interested in the health of the mind, body, and spirit. Stress, Anxiety, and Depression are often related to both physical and mental conditions so the whole person responds to treatment. Mood is a function of the mental, physical, and spiritual state so treatments involving all parts of the self are most effective. Clients with trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and short-term issues are the typical clients in the practice. Sessions are primarily telehealth. I accept Medicare insurance and private pay.

If you are hoping to improve your relationship with your mind and body, but find that traditional therapy environments haven't helped, it's giving trauma! I am an EMDR-trained clinical social worker and I consider trauma to be a universal lived experience. I understand the role of somatic experiencing as integral to adaptation and change. I love working with clients who identify as queer, chronically ill and/or neurodivergent. As a lover of strength sports, I offer EMDR therapy for sports performance to help you clear mental blocks and adapt after injury.

Each of us is a complex product of our past and present environments and experiences. Generally, we act or cope in ways that are adaptive or necessary under given circumstances. When our default methods of coping are no longer effective or our circumstances change, we begin experiencing distress in specific realms of our lives. This distress might manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, pain, relationship or sexual difficulties, social isolation, declining performance and/or impairment in daily functioning. As there is an undeniable connection between our psychological and physical wellbeing, I approach treatment in an integrative, collaborative and personality-based manner.

I work with people to instill hope, correct erroneous beliefs, confront harmful behaviors, develop social competencies, mature spiritually and understand their own self-worth. Because each person is uniquely individual, I take an eclectic approach to therapy. I use a variety of therapeutic tools including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), Gestalt techniques, Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT) and client-centered techniques.

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.
