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.
Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Those Who Struggle With Women's Issues
Starting therapy is a leap of faith at a time when hope is scarce. It is an act of courage. I prioritize symptom relief and stabilization, but I believe that lasting change and growth stem from a deeper understanding of our histories, relationships, internal worlds, and motivations. I work best with people who are willing to take a risk and become curious about their own complexity. I believe...

However, I work with you based on where you are functioning and use a variety of therapeutic techniques. An effective working relationship is the most important factor in therapy and that is what we work on at the...
Many people come to me concerned that therapy cannot work for them. They feel hopeless, or discouraged, or worried that they are beyond help. In fact, some have had previous therapy experiences that have reinforced these fears. If that is your experience, don't give up hope. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to address your individual needs. I am an active and engaged...
I am only offering services virtually through telehealth options at this time. In our day to day lives, it can be difficult to notice when changes occur until we aren't able to do the things we used to be able to do with relative ease. Similarly, we don't always notice a shift in our mood and how that shift may be affecting our overall well-being. The cause for these changes can be various...

Going through the motions, afraid of showing your true self and struggling to keep up the facade...you’re tired, exhausted. This feeling in your chest and the pit of your stomach is too much to bear. You can't predict when panic will hit, feeling the physical and emotional pain all over again, and you lash out or go into hiding. Always on alert, weighed down and never feeling good enough is lik...

Most people would rather hide from change than embrace it. When we do, unseen opportunities aren’t realized. Change is one of the most powerful tools you have as you go forward in life, if you embrace it. We help our clients focus more on strengths than on weaknesses, building the best things in life instead of repairing the worst, and paying attention to the things that contribute to human hea...
Do you feel anxious? Fearful of the future? These are uncertain times and I want to help you. Maybe you feel stuck? Trauma leaves a mark on your mind, body, and soul. It can leave you frozen, feeling anxious and depressed, affecting your relationships, taking away your sense of security, and causing you to lose hope. It could even lead to the use of drugs and alcohol to cope with the emotional...
