Do you wake up thinking that maybe sleeping all day might give you some respite from all the tribulations (relationship problems, grief, parenting problems, stress/anxiety, depression) in your life? Do force yourself to walk to the car to go to work and think to yourself that all the difficulties in your life feel like a storm which seems to be overwhelming? Do you ponder about if you chose to take a different road, is there hope that you can be happy? Are you fearful of asking for help? Think about how seeing a therapist who is skilled in building positive bonds with families could help you move forward in a new direction.

I use equine-assisted therapy model Eagala. The client chooses the pace and what to work on. Clients who have experienced trauma, anxieties, and other emotional related problems can find that the horses can relate because they are hyper vigilant and reflect back what they sense. As the counselor I allow for the process to work through at its own pace and support the strengths of the client as they emerge. I have several locations in Western WA, in order to ease access. At present I have Enumclaw, Maple Valley, Ravensdale, South Prairie, Monroe, Auburn, Rainier, and Olympia. I have a sliding scale not based just on income.

It may feel like you're on the outside looking in, not knowing how to bridge the gap. These feelings can stem from various sources, such as past trauma, broken trust of others, or low self-esteem. Therapy offers a safe and supportive environment to delve into your emotions, work through trauma, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Depression. Anxiety. Trauma. Grief. If only we could just flip a switch to turn them off! Too often others say "You shouldn't feel that way" or "Get over it." No one chooses to be unhappy. And though there is no on-off switch for our thoughts and emotions, with the right help we can change rebuild our our lives so we are really living. Throughout my time in practice, I've found that what helps most is warmth, respect, careful listening and a collaborative approach that fits the treatment to the person.

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.
