Starting Therapy for women

What is therapy for women?

Therapy for women uses traditional psychotherapeutic techniques implemented through a feminist lens to help women deal with the emotional and mental ramifications of being a woman in today’s society. Thriveworks Charlottesville therapists will target issues like toxic masculinity, gender roles, misogyny, and other problems that women face daily and their impact on their mental health.

How does therapy for women work?

Therapy for women works much like traditional therapy, but will also integrate person-centered and humanistic therapy approaches at the forefront of treatment. Thriveworks Charlottesville therapists who specialize in treating women acknowledge the unique experience of each individual while treating a wide variety of concerns with empathy, compassion, and respect.

Is therapy for women conducted in person or online?

Therapy for women at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does therapy for women last?

Therapy for women will often last until the client feels that their therapeutic goals have been met, whether it continues for a few months or over the course of years. However, treatment should last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time therapy takes to have a lasting impact.

Counseling for Women’s Issues – Therapy and Counseling in Charlottesville, VA

Many of life’s experiences are specific to women; while some can be incredibly rewarding, others can bring with them challenges that are not easily overcome. Processing some of these issues ourselves is difficult enough, to say nothing of being understood by the opposite gender! Recent statistics show that 1 out of 8 women will experience depression during their lifetime, but depression is only one issue among many that may cross a woman’s path.

If you are struggling with depression or another challenge, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Charlottesville for help. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances.

Common Women’s Issues

The following list is just a brief glimpse of the issues a woman may find herself facing:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Low Self Esteem
  • Infertility
  • Post Partum Depression
  • Menopause
  • “Empty Nest” issues
  • Domestic Violence or Abuse
  • PTSD related to Past Abuse or Sexual Assault

Most of these issues are very personal, and can be very painful and frightening. Frequently, they bring with them a deep sense of shame and the feeling that nobody else understands. During these times, it is absolutely vital to have someone to listen, validate your concerns, and support you – someone who understands what you’re facing.

How Can Counseling Help?

Taking the step forward to seek guidance and help from a highly experienced, specifically trained therapist can be of great benefit to you. At Thriveworks Counseling Charlottesville, VA we understand that these issues are very real. Our counselors each have many years of both personal and professional experience with women’s issues, and we’re honored to be able to work together with you to overcome the difficulties you’re facing.

When you are in the midst of these struggles, all you want is relief. Our therapists can help you find that relief by providing you both with immediate coping strategies for the most pressing concerns, as well as with a specific plan to work through the larger issues. In addition to this absolutely essential understanding, validation, and support, our experienced therapists can provide you with actual tools you can use and techniques you can practice outside of your therapy sessions to heal, grow, and implement changes that can become a permanent part of your lifestyle.

By guiding you in the principles and specifics of therapy systems such as CBT, DBT, and others, we can help you to actually change your thinking, your automatic emotional reactions, and your actions to those that will provide healthy, positive results in your life! We can also direct you to powerful resources that will enhance your personal growth outside of your sessions including websites, authors, books, videos, podcasts and more.

Michele is awesome! She listens but also asks questions that lead me to realizing what I'm doing without having to “tell me”. And I feel that she really does care about my well-being.
