Women's Issues
Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Being a woman myself, helps to see the many challenges women often live with, often embedded into patriarchal structures, be that in relationships, with our health, at work and advancing in our careers or in our families. I am deeply aware of structural and patriarchal systems that create power asymmetries.

How Therapy Helps
Validating Your Experience
One of the most powerful aspects of therapy is having your experiences validated. So many women have been told they're "too sensitive," "overreacting," or that their struggles aren't legitimate. A good therapist—especially one who specializes in women's issues—understands the unique challenges you face and affirms that your feelings are real and reasonable.
Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
Many women are socialized from childhood to prioritize others' needs over their own, to be agreeable, and to avoid conflict. Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, understand where they come from, and learn to set healthy boundaries without guilt. You can explore what you actually want, rather than what you think you should want.
Processing Gender-Based Trauma
Whether it's sexual assault, domestic violence, workplace harassment, or more subtle forms of discrimination and microaggressions, gender-based trauma leaves deep wounds. Therapies like EMDR and trauma-focused CBT can help process these experiences, reduce symptoms like hypervigilance and flashbacks, and help you reclaim your sense of safety and power.
Navigating Hormonal and Life Transitions
From puberty to pregnancy to perimenopause and beyond, hormonal changes can significantly impact mood, anxiety, and sense of self. Therapy provides support during these transitions, helping you understand what's happening in your body, manage symptoms, and adjust to the changes without losing yourself in the process.
Healing Body Image and Eating Concerns
Women face relentless pressure about appearance, weight, and aging. Therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with your body, challenge unrealistic beauty standards, address disordered eating patterns, and find self-worth that isn't tied to how you look.
Addressing the Mental Load
Even in 2025, women often carry the invisible burden of managing household tasks, emotional labor, and family scheduling. Therapy helps you recognize this imbalance, communicate your needs, and redistribute responsibilities without feeling guilty for not "doing it all."
Exploring Identity Beyond Traditional Roles
Whether you're a mother questioning your identity beyond motherhood, a woman choosing not to have children, someone navigating career ambitions alongside family expectations, or exploring what it means to age as a woman—therapy offers space to define yourself on your own terms.
Strengthening Your Voice
Many women struggle to advocate for themselves, especially in medical settings, at work, or in relationships. Therapy helps you find and strengthen your voice, practice assertiveness, and learn to communicate your needs confidently.
Processing Reproductive Experiences
Pregnancy loss, infertility, difficult births, abortion decisions, and menopause can all bring complex grief, trauma, and identity shifts. Therapy provides compassionate support for processing these deeply personal experiences without judgment.
Building Authentic Self-Worth
When society constantly sends messages about what women should be, do, or look like, it's easy to lose touch with your authentic self. Therapy helps you peel back those external expectations and reconnect with your inherent worth—not based on productivity, appearance, or caregiving, but simply because you exist.
