Mom guilt. Exhaustion. You may be constantly checking the baby monitor (or running to her room) to make sure she is breathing even though you know she is going to be screeching in exactly 17 minutes for her next feeding. You know that he is going to resent you and you blame yourself for not feeling that instant connection when he was born. Instead of proudly wearing that super mom cape, you feel strangled by the requirements to make sure all your kiddos are fed and clean, move the laundry to the dryer before it grows mold, & checking Google to verify that she is hitting all of her developmental milestones. You feel like a failure.

Did you retire from a career that gave you a purpose, that you are now missing in your life? You are looking to start again, follow a new direction, but you don’t know where or how to start. You wish you could feel good about this new part of your life, but you're afraid you’ll make the wrong choices. Do you feel like you are expected to do everything for everyone else, and now it’s time to break free from that pattern? You want more of yourself, but you don’t want to lose your relationships. Have you felt as though you are stuck in the past? You want to do for yourself. You want to feel safe and free in your present.

The couple subsystem is the very foundation to which the family system is built upon. If this foundation is weak or unstable, the family will fall apart. I believe that in order for a family to thrive, the couple must have a strong and healthy relationship. Couples work has the ability to impact other areas of therapy such as family work and work with children. The function or dysfunction of the family system is directly related to the functionality of the couple. The couple's relationship and communication style, effects their resilience or ability to work through or withstand crisis.

Depression, Stress, and Anxiety? Welcome to over half of America! Why are we so depressed and stressed? Work, school, finances, relationships, unhealthy habits, and any number of factors can contribute to our stress and lack of happiness. The good news is that there is always a solution. Life can throw a lot at you and we have a limit to how much we can take. I take a holistic/wellness based approach to therapy. This means that I believe that we are affected by every area of our lives and they all affect one another. From nutrition and activity to processing our emotions in a healthy way.

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.
