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.

You've tried meeting with "trauma therapists," but it can be so hard to find the right person when you feel like they don't get your lifestyle. Moreso when you're a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, the kink community, or the ethical non-monogamy/poly community. Nobody should have to live with the pain of shame, sadness, worry, or mistrust that comes from having survived traumas. Everyone deser...

This is a huge step you have taken to begin your healing process! Childhood trauma disconnects us from the truth of who we are. We believe that somehow the hurt we experienced is our fault, we are not good enough, worthless, we don’t matter, or we should have tried harder, etc. Without healing, these beliefs follow us far into adulthood. We are left repeating dysfunctional family dynamics, copi...

We’ve experienced growing up with our parents being guarded about sex, having their views of what it means to be in a committed relationship, and past trauma that's impacting our current relationships... and so goes on an intergenerational cycle of misinformation and challenges when it comes to being in a fulfilling relationship. Do you feel uncomfortable talking about sex or sexual issues you’...
