Motherhood isn’t what you thought it would be. You thought you would feel more fulfilled. How is time moving so slowly? Your inner disparager reminds you not to wish away time. Your baby smiles at you, warming your heart, but you feel guilty for the thoughts in your head. You wonder how the hell that one influencer has the time to make sourdough, while you’re embarrassed to talk to your friends about your week because nothing happened. Every day was the same. If you could just have a weekend in a hotel room by yourself, you would come back refreshed. Then you would be a better mother.

Life inevitably brings us painful feelings, thoughts, and experiences that we often respond to by trying to suppress, run away from, avoid, or numb ourselves. This may result in struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, etc., and may cause us to lash out at our loved ones or act in ways we do not feel good about. My clinical approach is inspired by the concept that we cannot always “get rid of” painful parts of our lives or the things outside our control, but what we can do is work to develop a different relationship with them so that they come to have less influence or power over us day to day.

Taking the first step can be the most difficult and intimidating part. The good news is you are recognizing and being mindful of your own experience and what you might need. A step towards taking care of yourself in a healthy and meaningful way is a great one. Therapy can be a safe space to grow in self-awareness, gain insight into the meaning behind your feelings and experiences, and become more open to creating long lasting, sustainable change. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be let in to your personal story.

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.
