Our areas of focus in women’s counseling
We have many areas of focus at our practice when it comes to treatment. Here is a more in-depth look at the most common concerns we see women struggle with.
-
Our SGTG clinicians create a non-judgmental environment where a woman can openly discuss her feelings and experiences associated in any relationship. It is in these sessions where you can work with your therapist to identify patterns, build communication skills, or enhance support to help you find your person. We also are taking new clients in couples therapy if you want your partner to be included in the counseling.
-
Working with a therapist at SGTG will include healing the connection you have with yourself. The way in which we speak to ourselves has a large correlation with how we feel. Through therapy, we can help you identify negative core beliefs and work to replace them with more neutral or positive thinking. It is also a place to explore feelings about your body.
-
Your therapist will formulate a treatment plan specific to how you experience your anxiety. There are many modalities for treating anxiety that can include CBT, strengths-based therapy, exposure therapy, and more. Together, we will work to challenge maladaptive thought processes and build coping skills to manage anxiety.
Positive Client Outcomes
As a clinician, I have watched many of my female clients come to therapy feeling symptoms of anxiety and depression due to the lack of support they feel in dealing with their everyday lives. I see a handful that specifically struggle with perfectionism that manifests in their relationships or sense of self-worth. Through counseling, we are able to unpack any unresolved trauma, process emotions, and discover parts of their personalities that need tending to. A lot of my female clients express they feel like a whole person again while they receive support and connect with me on the therapeutic journey. To learn more about me or my colleagues, click here.
