Online Therapy for Women in New York
You're High Achieving, But Struggling Inside. You Can Feel Better.
You are a high-achieving woman who has faced the unimaginable. You've gone to doctors and specialists and invested in treatments to find out what is wrong or to improve your fertility. Only to be left feeling frustrated and misunderstood. You may have faced medical gaslighting, invasive medical procedures, and surgeries in your pursuit of a diagnosis, treatment plan, or the ability to get pregnant. Or, for your chronic illness and pain.
An Emotionally Challenging Experience
Maybe you're going through an emotionally trying experience such as cancer treatment, IVF treatment, hysterectomy, or the grief of a miscarriage. Or, you are a parent struggling with perinatal anxiety or postpartum depression and anxiety. You could have even been through the unimaginable and challenging experience of sexual abuse. You just know you have high expectations for yourself, but you are struggling internally. You feel like no one understands. As a woman and therapist, I get it.
What Are Reasons One Might Seek Online Therapy for Women?
There are many reasons why women might seek online therapy. You may feel as if you are not living up to your expectations. You could be feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from the demands of life, with no time for yourself. You're overwhelmed by your diagnosis or medical treatments. Or you may be struggling with stress and anxiety due to the changes in your life.
Other reasons include the following:
Having PTSD, panic disorders, and phobias from medical trauma.
Anxiety or depression due to difficulty getting pregnant or struggling with infertility.
Processing the pain of IVF treatments or other fertility options.
Managing perinatal anxiety and postpartum depression.
Grief and loss associated with miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.
Navigating cancer treatment (especially female-specific cancers like breast, ovarian, or uterine).
Coping with chronic pain or the emotional side of a chronic illness.
Working through the trauma of sexual abuse or assault.
Processing anxiety, depression, and anger of living with chronic conditions.
Connect With a Caring Therapist via Online Therapy for Women in New York
Online therapy is for more than avoiding New York traffic or walking to the therapist's office. It's a way to connect with a professional who understands and can provide the support you need. One who is an expert in women's health and understands how it impacts your mental health.
My Goal is to Help You Reach Yours
At Greater Washington DC and New York City CBT Counseling for Women, as a female therapist, I specialize in women's health and helping you to find the support and understanding you need. I niched in women's health because I know first-hand the toll it takes on your mental health. I understand what it is like to suffer and struggle with a diagnosis and not feel heard. That's why I have worked with countless women to support them face the unique challenges they faced.
My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real-life experience to help you get to the other side.
Before therapy, they thought they couldn't be the high-achiever and loving partner, mother, daughter, or friend they wanted to be. Because they felt no one understood them. However, after each week of gaining tools and insights to process their experience, they are not only able to be more present, they can start to thrive even in grief and pain. They were achieving their goals, growing, and living more fully.
My Approach to Online Therapy for Women
In therapy, we will work together to help you move forward from a place where depression or anxiety has you feeling stuck. To a place where you can start thriving even midst of your unique journey. Each week, you will walk away with new tools to place in your toolbox, like CBT skills and worksheets, mindfulness audios and meditations, grounding exercises, and breathing techniques. This we will incorporate in processing your experience with real-world tools and skills to help move you toward a place of healing.
You can create a work/life balance that fits your values system, strengthen relationships and create healthy boundaries.
To accomplish this, I use an integrative approach of gold-standard, evidence-based treatments and techniques for medical trauma, chronic illness and pain, and perinatal and postpartum mental health issues. Such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance, and Commitment Therapy/Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Grounding Techniques, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma and PTSD. These treatments allow us to work together to create a plan that is tailored to your unique needs and experiences. So you receive the support you need to feel heard, heal, and thrive.
