Women continue to face discriminatory practices, attitudes, and institutions even in modern society, and these issues may affect their mental health. Women may choose to enter counseling for gender-related issues or other mental health concerns, and, as a result of their gender experience, women’s issues come up within therapy.
Available Treatment Options
Many types of therapy can assist people with women’s issues. Feminist Therapy approaches counseling that centers on women’s and other genders besides men’s experiences, focusing on relationships, social understanding, empowerment, and advocating for equality. Women may also feel comfortable in group therapy with other women, as being surrounded by people who can understand their experiences can be therapeutic.

My approach to counseling is drawn from many different disciplines, with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my clients. Of most importance to me is working with the client to achieve their goals within our counseling sessions- goals that we set together as we begin our work. I strive to meet the client "where they are" and move them forw...
Wow, these times we live in! The stress. The news. The isolation. The family underfoot, or alternately, feeling hug-starved. Then there's the lack of fun things we usually plan, like parties & vacations that typically punctuate our lives. Any of these things can, and will, create stress and anxiety. Even those who find, ironically, relief from social obligations may succumb to increased isolati...
There are times in our lives when we experience deep emotional pain that doesn't go away by itself. Sometimes, we can't even put our finger on what is bothering us, but it's there in the background.

CURRENTLY FULL & NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

Most of us know that even the healthiest of us need at some point in our lives an outside perspective or guidance into our inner selves to resolve many issues that we have not been able to do on our own. Therapy can take many forms from "personal growth work " (i.e. becoming a better person or reaching personal goals not yet achieved) or in dealing with life crises, wrong choices in the past...

Life transitions and struggles offer the opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, increased confidence, and personal satisfaction.
