When an individual or a couple chooses to enter into a therapeutic relationship, they are in essence choosing courage. Willingly putting one’s self in a vulnerable state of self-reflection and honesty is a hard thing for most people. But when this happens in a safe and judgement-free environment, wholeness and freedom can ensue.

So glad you found your way here! Have you heard the phrase "our issues are in our tissues?" This may sound strange but it’s the reason why traditional talk therapy alone is often not enough. As a result of negative life events, unhealthy relationships, pain, loss, illness, or modern-day stressors, many of us are unable to fully process our emotions, which become stored in our bodies and unconsciously drive our repeated behaviors and thought patterns. We become disconnected not only from those around us but most importantly, from ourselves. In order to move through current challenges, it's necessary to address both mind + body.

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.
