Therapy For Women

Tired Of Carrying All That Stuff Around?

Carrying around baggage can be fun when it means a trip to The Bahamas, but not so much when we’re talking about all the sh*t we carry around as women. So many of us experience the burden of being followed by patterns, behaviors, and stress—in other words, the baggage—that no longer serves us, and it’s making it hard to get where we want to go. 

If you’re anything like the other women we work with in counseling, you’re successful, high-functioning, and dependable. Unlike some other people in your life (looking at you, Aunt Janice, and the coworker who clips his nails at his desk), you’re self-aware. You’ve probably even tried therapy before, so you’re hip to concepts like “emotion regulation,” “burnout,” and—hello, darkness, my old friend—”trauma.”

But nevertheless, your stress and anxiety are still through the roof. You have a hard time relaxing, and even when you get an hour to unwind, you spend it doom scrolling, worrying about what you have to do next, or feeling guilty for taking a break. You’re often sad or restless, generally lacking fulfillment and feeling undervalued. And to make matters worse, you might even be experiencing physical discomfort in the form of chronic fatigue, muscle tension, and—awkward!—gastrointestinal issues. 

You “know” you don’t have to carry those bags alone, but you also don’t know where to ask for a hand. When it comes to your partner, friends, and family, you waver between feeling like a burden and being so annoyed that you have to do so much handholding in the process of asking for the support you need. Once again, the emotional labor falls on you and it’s making your load all that much heavier. 

Our therapists have worked with a lot of women like you in therapy—we know that you’re tasked with a lot, often without much awareness or appreciation from those around you. But we’re here to lighten your burdens through this process. Consider us your attentive bellhop who will take care of those bags for a minute while you go and sit by the pool… you don’t even have to tip.

As Women, We Have To Put Up With A Lot Of Sh*t

We don’t need to tell you what kind of unreasonable expectations and pressures our society places on women. Everywhere you look in our world, women face unique barriers that, in many cases, simply don’t exist for men. 

Despite the progress we’ve made in some areas, there remains a stubborn stereotype that women are responsible for the home and the children (if you have them), even if they are working full- or part-time. But the workplace is also a minefield of its own gendered BS, and even in the 2020s, women continue to face disparities in pay, advancement opportunities, and representation in leadership. 

Well, at least we can escape with a fun TV show or scroll on social media… oh, wait! That’s loaded, too. Between media portrayals that set unrealistic standards and the curated “perfection” perpetuated by all the apps and filters, many of us spend our leisure time internalizing the message that we’re inadequate. It’s easy for us to use up so much precious energy feeling stressed out or wondering WHEN WILL I EVER BE ENOUGH?! After all, we’ve spent our lives shattering glass ceilings—but all we have to show for it is a mess of broken pieces on the floor. 

Fortunately, our team of therapists completely nerd out on the most effective, up-to-date, evidence-based therapy approaches, offering the women we work with a chance to pause, step back, and remove the barriers that are getting in the way of a joyful, fulfilling life. 

Therapie Specializes In Counseling For Successful, High-Achieving Women Who Are Battling Stress, Overwhelm, And Burnout

When our clients come to us with a particular challenge or problem they want to overcome, we approach their issue as if it were a tangled ball of yarn. Our job as therapists is to pull on the threads in a way that allows clients to find a way back to the beginning, to the core issue. We do this by asking clients Three Guiding Questions:

01 What Is Currently Happening And Why: What are your feelings, and where do they come from? (Open up each suitcase and see what’s weighing you down.)

02 Where Do You Want To Go: How do we remove barriers to help you move forward? (Identify your destination and figure out how to pack only what you need to get there.)

03 What To Do About It: What do you need to leave behind, and how can you find peace with it? (Prepare for takeoff.)

This process is designed to help you untangle your feelings, behaviors, and experiences so that you can get clear on which aspects of your existence you’ll take with you on this next adventure—and which ones you’ll leave behind.

We also incorporate many effective, trauma-informed counseling methods, recognizing the reality that many women are disproportionately affected by attachment wounds, toxic relationships, and trauma. Such approaches—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to name a few—have made a meaningful difference in the lives of the women we work with, ultimately reducing the stress and anxiety they experience. Our clients also have access to The Akademie, where additional resources can be incorporated into the therapeutic process to reinforce progress.

At Therapie, we understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, especially when you’re the one who takes care of everything and everyone in your life. Yet, therapy offers transformative possibilities and can be a deeply empowering step in the right direction. With support, you can expect greater emotional resilience, enhanced relationships, improved work-life balance, and a deeper self-understanding. Through this process, you’ll feel happier, lighter, and ready to arrive at your next destination in style.

Common Concerns Among Women Considering Therapy…

I’ve had a bad experience in therapy before—how will working with you be any different?

Ugh, a bad therapy experience really is the worst; it can leave you with a taste in your mouth more disgusting than cough syrup. We understand why you’d be hesitant to start working with a therapist again if you didn’t get the outcomes you wanted in the past.

Here at Therapie, we prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where you can feel confident that you’ll not only be heard and understood but also treated as the expert on your life. Each therapist-client relationship is unique, and our goal is to build one based on trust and openness. We work hard to ensure that this process is tailored to your individual needs and that you feel comfortable asking for what you need so we can adjust our approach accordingly.

Talking about my emotions or experiences will just make them feel worse.

This is a common concern, especially among women who have never tried therapy before and/or spent years bottling up their emotions. A lot of them worry that opening up will intensify their discomfort.

Just the opposite is true, though. The process of exploring your issues through counseling is designed not only to bring them to the surface but also to teach you how to manage your emotional response in a healthier way. We achieve this by:
  • Moving at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.
  • Providing you with effective, individualized coping strategies that will help you meaningfully manage discomfort.
  • Incorporating regular check-ins to track your progress and make adjustments as needed.
  • Building your resilience so that you feel increasingly stronger and more capable of handling distress.

Therapy will take too long to make a difference.

We get it. If you’re like the other women we work with in therapy, you have about a million things to juggle on your to-do list every single day—but that’s why counseling is a collaborative process. Working with your therapist to set the pace of and goals for therapy will allow you to understand the experience in terms of building blocks that, when reached, will make this process feel equally rewarding and effective. And it might be helpful to know that many clients begin to experience a reduction in symptoms as quickly as the first session.
