Therapy for Women by Women

Introduction

I want to start of by saying all are welcome into the space here at Guiding Kindness Therapy. However, I am writing today to talk about the magical experience that happens when we as women connect with other women and work together to find a better path.

Being a woman can be tough

Each woman has their own unique experience. That is why we work with you to find the best treatment approach. Here are some common types of therapy often utilized for women:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. It can be particularly helpful for women dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy: This type of therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence current behaviors and emotions. It can be beneficial for women struggling with relational issues, trauma, or unresolved childhood issues.

Mindfulness-based Therapies: Practices like mindfulness meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can help women cultivate awareness of their thoughts and emotions, reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being.

Narrative Therapy (P.S. My favorite): Narrative therapy involves exploring and reshaping the stories individuals tell about themselves, which can be empowering for women seeking to redefine their identities or overcome internalized societal norms.

Conclusion

Therapy is not a one size fits all type of thing. It is important to find a therapist that works with you not around you. If you or someone you love is struggling please reach out.
