Women’s Issues

Therapy for Women

As Women We Are Relational, But Sometimes We Struggle

Women face a variety of issues throughout the course of their life. This is often overlooked. Whether it’s due to childhood, your environment, or society, you may feel ashamed and alone in your struggles. You may have been taught to take care of others first and to attend to your needs second. These practices can worsen the emotional and mental distress you’re experiencing. You do not need to suffer alone.
