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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock 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.

Need more help deciding?

We all walk through life a little differently. No one has the same background, genetics, or personality as you do. But even in this incredibly diverse world, some experiences are more commonly shared amongst certain people.

Women commonly experience events that are unique to women. Even if it is a broader experience shared between both men and women, women might experience it differently because of genetics, social norms, and upbringing.

Of course, many of these experiences are full of joy and excitement. But there are situations that can pull you down with their sorrow, pain, and frustration. If you are walking through such a time, know that Thriveworks Woodstock is here for you. We understand that some issues can only be truly understood by other women. This fact shouldn’t be ignored, and we have the specific tools and empathetic approach that can help you heal and grow.

What Is Counseling for Women?

Counseling for Women is much the same as counseling for the general populace. You will always be the driving force in the counseling session, that doesn’t change. Our focus will be on your concerns, your goal, and your situation. Our job as counselors is to give you tools so you can build the life you desire and provide encouragement, support, and empathy as we walk with you.

Women’s Counseling is no different. You are still empowered to be in charge of your own path. The difference is in how we approach and solve problems. Thriveworks Woodstock understands that the issues you as a women face aren’t entirely comparable to what a man might face. These differences shouldn’t just be brushed aside, they should be inspected and used to further your healing and growth.

Counseling is made more powerful through a shared connection. By walking through your trials with someone who understands, you are more likely to open up and push yourself to grow. Counseling for Women’s Issues at Thriveworks Woodstock strives to provide you with exactly that.

Your experiences as a woman are important and valid. Sometimes, they can be trying. But you are never without hope. Thriveworks Woodstock is fighting in your corner. Together, we can build the life you dream of.

What Does a Counseling for Women Session Look Like?

As always, Thriveworks Woodstock believes issues of all magnitude are important and worth addressing. The concerns, insecurity, and pain you’re fighting are holding you back from the person you want to become and the life you want to live. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever. Thriveworks Woodstock is here to expedite the process of healing and growth so you can live with freedom now.

With Women’s Issues Counseling, we can take a focused look on the issues that plague you because of your gender. We can also address topics experienced by the population at large but affect women a little differently. A few examples include:

  • 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
  • Relationship stress

This is far from a complete list, and we can talk about whatever comes up in a counseling session. As mentioned before, counseling is all about you!

Research has suggested that women are more likely than men to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. And many mental health issues look differently in women than they do in men. These differences are isolating and confusing, but personalized therapy can be a big step in combatting it and healing.

On top of gender differences as they relate to the mental health world, gender stereotypes and assumptions continue to plague women. The belief that women are simply more emotional, less competent, or not as smart are a few examples of stereotypes that- while have lessened significantly- still persist.

It’s worth noting here that studies have been done on women and men’s brains and determined they are strikingly similar. What does this mean? The differences in mental illness rates are not because women are more emotional or weaker as many stereotypes lead you to believe. While they do have a genetic proponent, they are also driven by the unique situations a woman experiences.

The individualized nature of mental health combined with a history of negative stereotyping means counseling for women’s issues should be a little different than counseling for the general populace. We are not the same nor should we be, and that remains true on an individual and gender-wide level.

Thriveworks Woodstock always offers nonjudgmental, empathetic counseling. We strive to walk with you to a healthy, happy place where you can grow on your own. It’s a future not far out of reach.

My 16 yr old daughter had been struggling with mood swings and depression/anxiety for a few years. We tried talk therapy first with a therapist but as she got older, the issues persisted. I contacted Thriveworks to seek out further help and everyone I engaged with was very helpful, very clear about the billing process and the psychiatry care schedule. We have had three sessions now with provider Melissa Gray and the care has been awesome. My daughter's mental health has been great and she is coping with things much better. It had been challenging to find the psychiatric care my daughter needed with other facilities either not taking new patients or being limited in the care provided. Thriveworks answered my call immediately and were able to get our first telemed appt within a few days. I strongly recommend Thriveworks!

I am so thankful to have found counsel with Ms. Porter. She has given me great coping strategies and is diligent in helping me walk through challenges and finding viable solutions. I started counseling in September and believe that I would not be able to navigate through the recent challenges had it not been for extensive counseling with Ms. Porter.

DeShawn provided world-class support for me during a time of transformation and confusion. He sat patiently with me and guided me to better understand my triggers, my strengths and my weaknesses so I can be a more formed person and more importantly, a kinder being to my self. Definitely recommend DeShawn for any therapeutic needs.

I was skeptical about doing therapy online but Ms. Parker made everything really welcoming and it has helped so much. I only write this so that anyone who is also skeptical knows how much Thriveworks has made this a positive experience and maybe they won't hesitate either
