During my training, I worked with dual-diagnosis women in recovery.
Are you feeling like life could be more fulfilling, but fear, worry, and sadness seem to be holding you back? You've been on a journey, trying to find peace and happiness independently, and you've carried the weight of your emotions in silence for far too long. You're an empathetic person, deeply connected to your relationships, but sometimes, the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. You've considered seeking professional help, but doubts have held you back. Will your therapist truly understand your unique experiences, your culture, your background, and your upbringing?

You may find your emotions to be overwhelming, or even consuming. It's as if they override your decisions. When things are bad, they feel really bad. Afraid of your own feelings, you find yourself going to great lengths to avoid them all together. Maybe, traditional talk therapy just has not worked for you. Perhaps you are looking for an approach to therapy that dives deeper. Tired of trying to force change? Healing is never brought about by force. Instead, through the understanding of neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to change), we will meet the natural conditions that foster organic growth and healing.

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.
