Individual Therapy for Women

Women place a lot of expectations on themselves.

We often don’t recognize the WEIGHT of our mental load. It runs in the background all day and sometimes all hours of the night. The list is never-ending. You complete one item on the list, and another suddenly appears.

Ladies tend to be the ones who take on the responsibility for responding to the PTA email or remembering to sign the field trip permission form. We put it upon ourselves to perfectly plan and execute birthday parties (cake, decorations, food, gifts, school treats). Then, there is managing the PTA carnival, paying bills on time, scheduling doctor appointments, getting the kids signed up for all the extracurriculars, and managing the family calendar. What’s for dinner? Remember the grocery list, arrange the carpool, or be the family Uber driver.

I could go on and on, but I know you get the idea. It’s all SO much! And you may even do ALL this while managing the demands of a career. Sometimes, asking for help seems like more work than just doing it yourself.

What do you do with all this stress? The wine works for a bit, but your brain is foggy the next day, making the stress and anxiety even worse. Maybe a walk? Massage? Bubble bath? I have a better option. THERAPY.

Peek into Individual Therapy.

Individual therapy is your one-on-one time with me, during which we spend the entire session focused on YOU.

I consider this the purest form of self-care because it involves caring for one’s mind, heart, and soul.

Unlike the temporary feel-good of a glass of wine, a dip in a bubble bath, or a Swedish massage, individual therapy provides self-care that can produce lasting change for the body and soul.

When you leave a session, you will feel a weight lifted and perhaps even have a commitment to a final decision that has weighed you down.

What can therapy provide that your friends can’t?

As women, our female friendships are critical. They are the very people who intimately understand the challenges we face. Friends and family serve an excellent purpose in providing support. However, they may package that support with opinions and judgments. Their well-intended investment in your emotional well-being could hinder your growth.

With me, you get an objective perspective combined with a clinical approach.

Why do women seek individual therapy?

Ladies begin therapy for all sorts of reasons. Some may be looking to make a significant decision, such as a change in career. Others feel stuck in the cycle of overproducing and locked in expectations of the never-ending list with no way out.

Some women may struggle with relationship issues, juggling the demands of parenting, or finding balance in a highly demanding career.

Perhaps they seek a new way of life following significant loss and grief, or maybe they feel sandwiched between raising their kids while caring for ailing parents.

Some reasons people may choose individual therapy are a sounding board for relationship challenges, boundary setting, parenting support, career consultation, grief support, and anxiety and depression management.

Take a journey of discovery of YOU!

No matter the reason, individual therapy is a journey of hope, healing, and recovery. As a therapist, I can offer an objective point of view that could finally provide clarity.

While you’re considering whether individual therapy is the right next step, the clock keeps ticking, and chances are your suffering continues.

Why waste another day wondering how you’ll find your way when support is just a phone call or click away?
