Therapy for Women’s Issues

At Compassion Centered Counseling, we specialize in providing treatment for women’s issues.

Are you trying to grow in your understanding of yourself and your purpose? Are you experiencing a difficult transition in your life? Are you in the midst of a career change, or contemplating one? Have you recently ended a relationship and are trying to rediscover yourself? These are many of the common experiences that women go through in life as they seek to become the best that they can be. Learning to be true to yourself and have authenticity in the way you approach life can be rewarding and validating. Seeking guidance and support as you explore these issues can be invaluable as you work toward becoming your best self.

Counseling more specifically for women’s issues focuses on providing a safe, compassionate space to address the unique emotional and mental health challenges that women may face at various stages of life. Whether navigating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, or life transitions such as pregnancy, motherhood, or career changes, therapy offers women the opportunity to explore and better understand their feelings. A therapist can help women gain insight into their emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward achieving greater balance and well-being.

Counseling provides a supportive environment to process these issues and work through any obstacles that may hinder emotional health. The goal is to empower women by helping them embrace their strengths, improve self-worth, and build resilience, so they can live more fulfilling lives. Through personalized therapeutic techniques, women can find the support they need to heal, grow, and achieve their emotional and mental wellness goals.

How can counseling help me?

Women’s issues are unique in the way that the female brain is hard-wired. Women approach life very relationally. They seek approval from others, sometimes at the cost of their own self and needs. Learning to strike a balance between caring for others and caring for oneself is an important component in a woman’s happiness. Discovering one’s authenticity and confidence to be all that they can be is an exciting and important part of life’s journey.

We have worked extensively with women’s issues. What we have learned in our work with women is that although women have unique and often difficult challenges in life, they have tremendous creativity and potential for healing and thriving. Women are eager to discover more about themselves and seek understanding about the important relationships in their lives.

You may ask what issues are addressed in women’s issues counseling. We address self-identity and boundaries, body image concerns, managing expectations from others, overcoming societal pressures, women’s relationship issues within intimate relationships and within their parent-child relationships. Women can find themselves in the role of caregiver to their children and caregiver to their aging parents. Women also are often struggling to balance the demands of a career and parenthood, in addition to having a life of their own and a developing or maintaining a positive intimate relationship. All of this can be overwhelming at times.

I am just not sure…

If I don’t even know what I want for myself, how can counseling even begin to help me?

You don’t need to know where to begin to embark on the journey. Counseling will help you organize your thoughts around what you want for yourself and what you hope to accomplish with the women’s issues counseling. Together we can identify what is important to you and where you may feel lost. Sometimes counseling is exactly what is needed to find a compass for direction.

I want a more meaningful relationship with my partner, but they are unwilling to come in for couples counseling with me. How can women’s issues counseling help my relationship if I am coming for counseling alone?

All we can control is ourselves. Women’s issues counseling helps women to grow in their understanding of themselves and their authenticity. We help our clients to understand their locus of control and make choices about their own perspectives and behavior that impact on their happiness, well-being, and relationships.

I am not sure I want to commit to long-term counseling. I just want help from time to time to figure out how to handle some stressors in my life.

We will work with you to address only the issues that are manageable within the time frame that is available to you. Some clients have an interest in longer-term work and others prefer to come on an as needed basis. We are willing to provide counseling to our clients within the timeframe that works for them.

I have old issues in my life that are unresolved, and I also have current demands that I need to address. I don’t even know where to begin in counseling.

We will start by identifying what is troubling you now and working from there to identify older experiences that may have contributed to the way you feel and behave now. We will provide guidance and counseling to help work through old, unresolved experiences to help alleviate negative feelings that hold you back from the happiness and balance you are seeking.

What is unique about working with us?

Our approach to women’s issues counseling is with warmth and support. We have experience counseling women. We have raised and are raising our own children and have endured some of life’s challenges in juggling work and family, parenting, marriage, and caring for aging parents.

Life is not always easy, but it always has the potential to be rewarding. Our approach to working with women’s issues is with candor, humor at times, professionalism and insight. We work to build trust quickly and greatly enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and learning about each person’s journey.

We greatly appreciate each person’s unique experiences and recognize that healing and growing look different for everyone. Spirituality is often a big part of growth and can provide direction for some. As a result, discussions of spirituality are welcome even though spiritual beliefs vary widely amongst my clients. We always feel honored to be a part of the journey and inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
