Life, huh? It's like trying to untangle a box of Christmas lights without losing your sanity. Life can be a roller coaster ride, filled with twists, turns, and loop-de-loops. Anxiety can be overwhelming, depression can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, and trauma can have long-lasting effects. Or maybe you struggle with health relationships, substance use, anger management, impulse control, or feel like a mischievous gremlin lives inside you controlling your life. Here's the good news - you don't have to face these challenges alone. I firmly believe in the power of a collaborative, non-judgmental approach.

I have always had a passion for helping people- but it took me a while to find the field I am most passionate about. I discovered counseling as my future career when I was working as an EMT, and witnessing some of the most difficult situations and their simultaneous mental health concerns. This allowed me to have access to vast experiences with different populations, and see and appreciate humanity’s resilience and compassion. I am in the counseling field to make a difference for people- except this time I’m focusing on individual mental health.

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.
