Virginia and North Carolina Telehealth Counseling
As a woman, do you often feel the immense pressure to juggle multiple roles—career, family, caregiving—while striving for an elusive perfection that leaves you feeling perpetually exhausted and inadequate? Are you navigating societal expectations around body image, relationships, and emotional expression that can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, or a sense of not being "enough"? Have you experienced unique challenges like gender-based discrimination, reproductive health decisions, or the complexities of balancing personal ambition with traditional roles, leaving you wondering how to truly find your voice and prioritize your own well-being? Do you sometimes feel unheard or dismissed, struggling to assert your needs in a world that often demands you put others first?
As a Mental Health Therapist, I would support you by integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Feminist Counseling. Through CBT, we would identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem, helping you develop more balanced and empowering perspectives about yourself and your experiences. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) would then guide you in cultivating self-kindness, self-acceptance, and resilience, recognizing that many of the pressures you face are not your fault and fostering a gentle, understanding stance towards your own struggles and imperfections. Finally, Feminist Counseling would provide a framework to explore how societal and cultural factors, gender roles, and power dynamics may impact your mental health and well-being, empowering you to recognize your strengths, challenge oppressive norms, and advocate for your authentic self in all areas of your life.
