Therapy for women lawyers
Start the therapy you’ve always wanted.
A human being is greater than any situation or problem.
There are various ways to address, treat, or “fix” an issue. But sustainable progress happens when there’s room to slow down, talk things through, and examine one’s decision-making. Therapy offers a rare opportunity to explore what has already taken place and what is still occurring, all within the context of what is possible now.
Over 60% of my practice focuses on supporting women lawyers. Through straightforward, honest feedback, you can build confidence, develop new insights, and make decisions that protect your time and long-term plans.
Drawing from a variety of evidence-based methods, this practice specializes in working with the following concerns:
Anxiety & panic attacks
Depression
Relationship challegnes
Family rupture
Life transitions
Emotional dysregulation
PTSD and complex trauma
Early childhood trauma
The Way We Work Together
I begin with listening. Over a short period of time, we begin to know one another, develop trust, and discuss the things that are downright impossible to manage.
This process utilizes a combination of methods based on your unique needs. Primarily, a psychodynamic orientation looks beneath the competent presentation to identify patterns and mental hurdles, while dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are integrated to reduce harsh, negative thoughts and increase focus, clarity, and overall well-being.
If work or a relationship is not improving, or deep down something feels off, and leaving isn’t an option right now, this therapy can help you.
