Womens Issues

Life is a balancing act for many women who are expected to juggle a wide range of roles every day. Even though you’ve chosen to become a mother, a wife, an employee or a caretaker, it can be very stressful to meet the demands created by so many responsibilities.

Women in today’s society have more opportunities than in the past, but they also face more pressure than ever before. It isn’t unusual for women to be charged with managing child-rearing, family finances and housekeeping as well as their own careers. Hectic schedules and heavy workloads can make them feel their lives are out of control.

Life roles and challenges:

  • Mother – Are your overwhelmed by the demands of child-rearing and discipline?
  • Wife – Is it difficult to find time to nurture your relationship with your spouse? Are you and your husband becoming more distant and less intimate?
  • Employee – Is it hard to focus on your career because of your other responsibilities? Has your workload on the job become a burden?
  • Caregiver – Are you expected to take care of everyone else in your life, while it seems no one is taking care of your needs?

When you take on too many responsibilities, you may find that your own mental health suffers. The pressures can make you feel stressed, anxious, dejected or hopeless. Sometimes you may feel as though there aren’t enough hours in the day to handle everything on your schedule. You may irritable, angry or depressed, and your relationships may suffer.

Through counseling, you can begin to learn ways to balance the demands of your life more successfully. Boundaries can teach you to express yourself when it seems others are taking advantage of you. Anger management therapy can show you how to express your emotions without losing your temper. Communication skills training can help you to speak to your loved ones in a clearer, more effective way.

Benefits of women's issue counseling:

  • Decrease your stress
  • Manage your feelings of anger, depression or anxiety
  • Increase your self-esteem
  • Find more time for yourself
  • Learn better communication skills
  • Improve relationships with loved ones

You’ve spent so much of your time caring for everyone else. Now it is time to take care of you and focus on your own emotional well-being to restore calm and balance in your busy life. Schedule an appointment today.

You hold me by my right hand. Psalm 73:23

Common Questions

Why do people seek therapy?

People choose therapy for many reasons. Some are facing an unexpected crisis, such as a divorce, a death in the family or a dramatic lifestyle change. Others want to explore their personal attitudes, emotions or childhood issues in an effort to launch positive changes in their lives. Still others are trying to conquer stress, anxiety or other problems that are preventing them from finding the joy in their daily lives.

What can therapy do for me?

Therapy can help you to find solutions to problems that are holding you back in life. Through counseling, you can explore issues from your past and begin to set goals for your future. Therapy can help you to clear your mind so that you can realistically appraise your life and make positive changes. You also can learn effective problem-solving techniques, helpful communication methods and other valuable skills.

What can I expect during a session?

Therapy gives you an opportunity to speak to a caring professional about your concerns and begin taking steps to resolve your problems. Counseling sessions are 50 minutes in length, and weekly visits typically are recommended to start and can be adjusted based on your needs. It is important for you to spend time between sessions working on the issues discussed each week.

"I met Jamie 4.5 years ago when some significant changes were happening in my life, and I was at a crossroads needing a little help. The very first thing I noticed with Jamie was the calm energy. So many therapists/counselors come across with the whole clinical approach. Jamie is totally opposite. She cares and you know it the minute you meet her. If you are in a place in life where you need a little help, Jamie is the one to call."

If you are in a place in life where you need a little help, Jamie is the one to call."
"I began working with Jamie in 2005 when my personal life was at an all time low. Jamie's caring and unique approach to counseling has been a tremendous blessing in my life. Through divorce, death, and a mid-life career change, Jamie worked with me to embrace my core values, accept myself, and encouraged me to make my life into what I wanted it to be. The tools Jamie helped me develop have truly changed the way I live my life. My current happiness and success can be directly traced to my work with Jamie."
"Two years ago my life came to a crashing downfall. I was filled with pain, guilt, and confusion of the things that had occurred in my life . A friend recommended that I seek out a therapist to help me during this time. I was very resistant- I never would have consider "ME" the type to sit on a couch and discuss my life's issues. Nevertheless, I did and I found Jamie. Honestly the pain was so piercing that I didn't care what Jamie had to say. I sat on the couch week after week, in a complete daze; sometimes, even being very antagonistic to Jamie. I vocally questioned if she could help someone like me. After about six months, the answer became so clear and it was yes. Jamie worked through my hurt and my frustrations. She listened without judgment. When I gave up, she fought for my healing. Jamie's tenacious spirit allowed me to gradually open up. I am very blessed to have a therapist who is passionate and concerned about my well- being."
"I started seeing Jamie in 2014. She helped me get through the toughest time in my life. Without her counseling and support I do not know where I would be in life. Jamie listens and she offers expert counseling and therapy. Jamie helped me see what the issues were in my life and then she helped me process those issues. She helped me develop a plan for the future. It does not matter if you or male or female, Jamie is very easy to talk to about any issue. She saved my life."
"When I walked into Jamie's office, I knew I had come to the right place. My personal life was a mess and I began looking for a therapist that was kind, loving, intuitive and someone I would feel comfortable telling some difficult things to. She is the one!!! Every time I left her office I felt like I had accomplished something and things were so much more clear. She helped me with the many changes going on in my life and I now love that person in the mirror….I highly recommend Jamie."
"I started seeing Jamie after experiencing some personal life issues. Jamie is a great listener and she has the knowledge and experience to counsel you during the tough times of life. Jamie is very compassionate but she also is unbiased when needed."
