Women's Issues therapists in Sterling, Virginia VA

It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health. I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented. Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends. I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative). So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.  

Women experience unique challenges throughout life, from career, family, friends, identity, responsibilities, expectations, etc. As a woman and a working mother I understand these challenges and stressors, we will work to create a safe space to explore how are you balancing everything and what shifts can be made for you to feel more balanced.  

Women's issues are human issues and can include anything such as hormonal stage of life issues, your work like, your home life, and your relationships. Therapy will be tailored to meet your needs and goals.  

Women face unique circumstances and stressors over the course their lifetime. We aim to serve women in the area of their pain-point(s) to include their money relationship. As a result of work with our clinician, Janine N Harrigan, clients are supported to become more connected to their money by examining their feelings, thoughts and behaviors resulting in personal and generational transformation.  

Women's issues are ones that are not specific to women, but can be-such as the reality of living in a patriarchy and how that affects well-being. Additionally, as someone who specializes in chronic health issues, women's health is another factor that suffers under a system that typically tends to downplay or dismiss experiences that are valid. Whether there are reproductive health concerns, challenges to identity, or stressors related to systems, I wish to support and improve well-being.  

Many women feel pressure to be everyone, everywhere at all times. In our work, we can explore what clients truly want, where they want to be and what each client who is a woman believes her true purpose is. When these women remain focused on these areas, trust their intuition and take action in light of that, the outcomes they desire tend to flow to them with much less effort on their part than they ever imagined!
