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 Roanoke 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 Roanoke 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.

Roanoke Counseling for Women’s Issues

Most women’s issues are very personal, and can also be very painful and frightening. Frequently, they bring with them a deep sense of shame and the feeling that nobody else understands. You may find yourself struggling with the decision to bring them to light, especially if that means seeking professional help from a licensed Roanoke counselor. Well-meaning family and friends may try to help, but they probably misunderstand and say things like, “You just have to get over it and move on.” 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. At Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling for Women’s Issues, we have a highly skilled and passionate team of professionals who are here to help you!

Common Women’s Issues

Many of life’s experiences are specific to women, and while some can be immensely rewarding, others can be incredibly difficult. Processing and coping with these challenges yourself is often possible, but usually are very difficult. Plus, much of the population can’t relate or understand many of the experiences and challenges that are unique to women…even though they may try!

Recent studies show that 1 out of 8 women will experience depression during their lifetime, but depression is only one issue among many that may challenge a woman during her lifetime. The following list is just a brief glimpse of the issues a woman may find herself facing at some point in her life:

  • 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
  • Eating Disorders

How Can Counseling Help?

Taking the step forward to seek guidance and help from a highly experienced, specifically trained Roanoke therapist can be of great benefit to you. At Thriveworks Counseling Roanoke, 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 are honored to be able to work together with you to develop coping mechanisms to use during your daily life, and beyond that, even help you overcome your struggles and put them behind you!

When you are in the midst of these struggles, all you want is relief. Our counselors and therapists can help you find that relief by providing you both with immediate strategies and long-term solutions. In addition to this essential understanding, validation, and support, our experienced Roanoke 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. It’s possible to actually change your thinking, your automatic emotional reactions, and your responses to the problems you’re facing so that you can begin to create healthy, positive results in your life!

I was very pleased with our first visit. My son is not the easiest child to get to open up and Christine was very good with him and knew how to communicate with him effectively.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris in a professional capacity for 6 years, during which time he provided individual counseling for a number of children that I referred to him. Chris always demonstrated a sincere empathetic sensibility in his relationship with his clientele. He is keenly adept at providing the skills and guidance that allows others to pursue a self-actualizing understanding and awareness of themselves. He is a superb counselor.
