I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through the emotional challenges of pregnancy/postpartum, infertility, and reproductive grief—including postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, miscarriage, and infant loss. Whether you're navigating fertility treatments, medical complications, or grieving a stillbirth or later-term loss, you deserve care from someone who understands the emotional and physical toll of these experiences. I’ve worked extensively with people facing the complexities of these life altering circumstances, offering support processing what has happened, and achieving relief from disruptive symptoms.

Often when we reach out for counseling, it’s because something in life has become heavy or overwhelming. You might be struggling to find a way forward, but know deep down that something needs to change. If that’s where you are right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. My name is Omy Golden, and I help adults create healing in their lives. This often means addressing past traumas and relationship wounds that make it hard to show up fully as your authentic self. Through curiosity, gentleness, and acceptance, I support clients in discovering their own meaningful path through life’s challenges.

There is a way to live this life that allows you to be more fully yourself. Your circumstances, your thinking and feeling may seem like they define you, that they are limiting who you can be. But maybe you're not as stuck as you think. A lot of that life you are seeking is still available to you. If you choose to set aside some time to look closely at what the barriers are, we can identify ways in which you can get over, around or through them; if you look at what you want more of, we can find ways for you to take steps towards those things you value most.

I come alongside my clients as I bear witness to their pain, struggles, healing and growth. I am always amazed at the resiliency and strength I see in people. What I appreciate about counseling is that it is both a SCIENCE and an ART. We know of interventions and strategies that work well and the 'art' shows up in how language, images and personalized goals are used.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
