You Face Many Challenges as a Woman Today. But You Can Face Them Feeling Empowered and Confident.

Being a woman in this day and age is more complicated than ever. You're receiving so many mixed messages from society, and it can be hard navigating your way through them and understanding who you want to be. But the biggest challenge is often ourselves - we're so focused on pleasing other people or trying to keep up with what's considered "right" that we lose sight of our true desires.

Perhaps, you’re even holding on to expectations you set for yourself a long time ago that no longer feel good to you or make sense for you. For instance, you always saw yourself as a career woman, but now you’re not wanting to make work your only priority. Or, you thought you’d be married by now, but you’ve had other priorities come up along the way that has made finding a partner less significant. 

You feel so much pressure from society to be a certain way or to want certain things.

You’re feeling pressure to be at a certain point in your life based on society’s standards or your “biological clock”

You might benefit from Therapy for Women if:

you want to find confidence and happiness in the person you are. 

You're setting standards that are making you feel like you're not "enough". You compare yourself to other women on social media and set them as the expectation for yourself. And you find yourself feeling defeated when it doesn't work out the way you want it to.

You’re wanting to be a high-powered businesswoman, who goes to the gym, goes out with friends, goes on vacation, has a successful career, and is happy with her body. The woman who has it all and juggles it successfully. Who has the perfect marriage, the perfect children, and is always put together. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself and you know this isn't realistic. But you find yourself still striving for this ideal.

you want to find a partner who can be vulnerable and share life's moments with you.

There are so many dating apps and match-making services that it seems like it should be easy to meet someone. However, modern dating presents more difficult challenges than ever. You're having to cycle through dating apps and having false starts or inauthentic connections instead of finding someone who shares values with you. Not to mention the amount of time it takes to do all of this! It can be very hard to find a person who you can and want to start your life with and share all the little moments that make life so incredible.

But sometimes, it's not just about finding someone - you can be dealing with trust issues and fears about settling for someone who isn't right for you. You might be having negative feelings and hopelessness around dating. Which is creating further difficulties in maintaining confidence in the search for a partner. Maybe you're so focused on whether the person you're seeing likes you, that you miss noticing if YOU like them.

Prioritizing your own needs in the relationship is vital for a strong foundation. When we hyper-focus on the other's feelings, opinions, and requirements we end up letting our own needs fall by the wayside. This can lead to people-pleasing behavior, where we don't speak up for ourselves or take care of our own wants and needs.




All of the relationships in our lives can be affected by people-pleasing patterns. Trying to keep everyone happy can become draining and overwhelming, leaving us feeling depleted and misunderstood. Your friends, family, and romantic partners all need to hear your opinions and you need to feel appreciated if a relationship is going to be healthy and mutually beneficial.



you need to be sure that you're considering your own needs and desires as well.

You're feeling like you're not taking the chances you want to take in your career. You've played it safe when you could have taken leaps and maybe skyrocketed further than you have. You want to be seen as an authority in the room, with a clear path of career growth and a sense of empowerment. Right now, it's uncomfortable to be seen or to feel like a leader.  

you want to take up space and feel confident at work.

Compared to everyone else, you feel like you're not enough and that's preventing you from making the choices that could bring you success. 

You want to be confident and take your seat at the table but your peers make it look so easy. You don't know what it is that you need to do in order to get to the same place they are - and you feel like you're not measuring up. You're qualified and capable, but you feel like an imposter and can't bring yourself to be the one who speaks up. Maybe it's due to you being afraid to be vulnerable and show your true self. The fear of being judged or exposed as imperfect holds you back from taking the necessary steps to achieve success. However, embracing vulnerability can allow you to tap into your potential and show up as the confident, self-assured leader you know you can be.
