Anxiety
Is anxiety preventing you from living your life to the fullest? Anxiety can cause: rumination, perfectionism, difficulty focusing or even panic attacks. You may struggle with social anxiety and feel this gets in the way of having important relationships in your life. We use CBT, ACT, DBT and other effective types of therapy to help you learn how to cope with your anxiety and start feeling better.
Depression
Depression can cause enduring feelings of hopelessness, sadness or grief. You may feel to numb to life, as things that used to bring you joy feel empty. It has the ability to cloud your memories and rob you of feeling hopeful for the future. You do not have to suffer alone. Our therapists use Behavioral Activation Therapy, DBT, and CBT to help you recover and start living the life you deserve.
Eating Disorders
At Therapy for Women we treat a wide variety of eating struggles. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, (such as Bulimia, Anorexia, Orthorexia, Binge Eating Disorder), stop chronic dieting, or simply make peace with food and your body, our specialized therapists are here to help. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques, including CBT, DBT, IFS and nutritional counseling, eating disorder therapy provides individuals with powerful tools to challenge distorted thoughts, regulate emotions, and develop healthier eating habits. We use a Health at Every Size approach along with Intuitive Eating to help you stop battling food and start living your life fully!
OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can make it extremely difficult to enjoy daily life. We use Exposure Response & Prevention Therapy (ERP), known as the gold standard of OCD treatment in order to help you reduce your compulsions and behaviors and gain control over your life. This powerful, evidence-based approach offers a path to freedom by directly confronting the fears and anxieties at the heart of OCD. Clients who work with us report significant reductions in symptoms and a newfound sense of freedom they never thought possible. It is possible to recover from OCD and we are here to help.
Substance Misuse
If you feel as though you need to change your relationship with alcohol, marijuana, or other substances, we are here to help. Whether you are interested in stopping completely, or moderating, we use a harm reduction and non stigmatized approach to alcohol and substance misuse.
Trauma
Trauma is not just about what happens to you; it is about how your brain struggles to process the distressing event. We know that trauma is stored in the body as well, which is why we use approaches that integrate your body, such as Eye Movement Desentization (EMDR), Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems in addition to cognitive approaches. It is possible to heal from your trauma, and recover.
LGBTQ+
If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you know the unique struggles that can come with stigma and discrimination. These can cause mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression and PTSD. By addressing the specific stressors related to coming out, identity formation, societal stigma, and internalized prejudice, LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy helps you build resilience, self-acceptance, and pride in their identities. This approach recognizes the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ experiences with other aspects of identity, providing culturally competent care that honors the whole person. We are proud to have many LGBTQ+ therapists who are part of the community personally in addition to being experts in the field. We look forward to providing the support you need!
Women’s Issues
We specialize in working with women through a vast array of issues unique to them. We work with women on a variety of issues including: adjusting to motherhood, the mental load, postpartum depression, infertility, deciding whether to have children, modern dating, menopause, sexual health, friendship and more.
Teens
If you suspect your teen is struggling with their mental health, it can feel overwhelming with how to get them support. We specialize in working with teens and preteens (ages 10 and up of all genders) in a wide variety of mental health issues such as: anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, substance abuse, eating disorders and more. We also provide gender affirming care and help your teen navigate their sexuality and gender identity.
Grief
While often associated with death, grief counseling can address various types of loss, including major life changes. Using a variety of evidence-based therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate environment for you to express their emotions, process your grief, and develop coping strategies. Our goal is to help you honor your loss, adapt to their new circumstances, and find healthy ways to move forward while preserving meaningful memories. You don’t have to struggle with grief alone; we are here to help.
