Women's Issues Therapists in High Point, Seattle, WA
The school year is just around the corner. Are you a worried mom? Are you a teenager in high school or college who needs me? I’ve been in a high school for 26 years. I know complexities of school issues like school refusal, IEP concerns and more. I have deep answers to what is a 504 plan and the self advocacy and family support needed. Are you LGBTQIa+? Chronic illness? Neurodivergent? Let me help you navigate the school year.
My ideal client is someone who doesn't fit neatly into one or two identity boxes and feels limited (and yet maybe drawn to?) the concept of labels. Labels help, labels hurt, labels limit, labels liberate.

Therapy is a place for you to name areas of pain, a place to feel without judgment, and a place to reclaim what is yours. Shame is the source of so much of this pain and judgment, convincing you that you are broken. Shame is often so intertwined with sexuality because of the societal silence around the topic. Perhaps sex is painful, perhaps you are more aware of others desires than your own, perhaps you feel empty from running on fumes and enjoyment is the last thing on your mind. Whatever the reason, engaging your sexual health can help overall wellness, and ultimately be the way back into relationship with yourself!

Our relationship with ourselves is life-long and at times, takes the back seat in our own lives. Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed as life continues to move forward while you have found less joy in things you used to love. You feel stuck as if you’re losing parts of yourself, or maybe you aren’t sure who you are just yet. As time has gone on, your relationship with yourself may have shifted as you navigated school, career and developing relationships and community. Our struggles may make it feel like we carry around a burden of pain. Life appears to find ways to enable us to walk around our pain or over it but not through it.

Ever think: "How did I end up here?" or "I never imagined {life event} would happen to me!" You are not alone! We can all relate to these sentiments.

Are you struggling with loss, or making meaning out of events that have left you feeling uncertain, shaken, in agony? Do you feel like you are starring in a scene from the film Ground Hog Day, where life is a series of frustrating, repeating events? You can make a successful transition to break this cycle, whatever that personal change is. You will get a sense of control back. A little Zen. Some hope.

Over the past eight years, it has been such a pleasure walking with my clients through their journeys of healing and change. I have had the privilege of sitting with parents struggling through the heartache of divorce, immigrants and children of immigrants who are making a home against all odds, college students fighting dominant culture norms, survivors of marital abuse, and those fighting to escape their childhood trauma. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in education and non-profits in India, and I am astounded, then and now, by the human capacity for resilience and strength in the face of hardship.

You’ve done all the "right" things but life still doesn't feel the way you want it to. From the outside, things look pretty good and others think you have it together, but the truth is you’re anxious and overwhelmed a lot of the time. You’re tired of just coping and ready to actually feel better. Whether you’re going through (or contemplating) a big life change, struggling in relationships, grieving the loss of a pet, feeling stuck, or have a sense that something from your past is holding you back, you just want things to feel different...and the surface level fixes aren’t cutting it.

Life doesn’t get better by chance - it gets better by change. That change often begins when painful patterns are finally named. I work with couples and individuals navigating disconnection, infidelity, and major life transitions, including pregnancy and the postpartum period. Many people I see are asking, How did we get here? or Why does this feel so hard right now? Therapy can be a space where the pressure comes off, the truth gets spoken, and things begin to make sense again. You’re not broken - and you don’t have to do this alone.

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.
