I'm a therapist and I help high-achieving women like you connect more deeply to their Values and Authentic Self. You might describe your life as being fine, and it truly is. You have a good job, relationships, et cetera... but something is still missing. You know who you are and notice you're more steady inside. Despite these shifts, you know things could be better. You're ready to expand, refine your purpose, and fill that last missing piece. You might also be looking for your next-level community of friends, mentors, etc. to help usher you there. If this sounds like you, I can help.

During our lifetime we may come across struggles that require us to reach out for support outside of our regular networks. These struggles increase stress, depression, anxiety, and negative emotions that make daily life difficult. We have roles in our professions, school, social circles, parenting (just to name a few!) that are impacted by our inability to manage our emotions. But what feels like the impossible, is not. With therapeutic support, we can overcome our situations and discover new hope for ourselves.

“How am I going to fail today?” you think as you lay in bed, searching for the motivation to get up. You dread the daily, self-confirmation that you’re lazy, undisciplined. No matter what you accomplish, it never feels enough. There is this nagging feeling in the pit of your gut reminding you to do more: lead more projects, volunteer for more committees, donate more time. There are no words to describe the exhaustion in your soul. What’s worse is that nobody understands how tired you actually feel. Not like you would let them know, as you wear the mask of “normal enough” well… except you can feel the facade begin to crack.

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.
