Trauma. Abuse. Plus critical life changes, grief, depression, eating disorders, and unhealthy relationships are just a few of the most common reasons why women seek counseling.

 

Despite personal challenges they may be facing, women tend to nurture and take care of everyone but themselves. They will often stay strong for the sake of their children and families, forsaking their own well-being until life becomes unmanageable.

 

Women of all ages are twice as likely as men to suffer from anxiety and depression. In the US:

 

• One in four females is sexually abused by the time she is 18 years old.

• Annually, ~4.8 million women experience physical violence and rape by intimate partners.

• Women continue to face many forms of discrimination and sexual harassment in the workforce and on college campuses.

 

Yet, hundreds of women each year regain their strength and overcome adversity through counseling at Samaritan. And so can you.

How Does Counseling Help?

​

Counseling empowers you to move beyond your present situation and effect positive change in your life. Your therapist will partner with you to identify and focus on what’s most important to you. You will achieve healing, rebuild your self-esteem, and hone the skills you need to cope, manage stress, and practice self-care. You will learn how to leverage your strengths and create clear, attainable goals for what you desire for your life.

 

Your therapist cannot change the injustices in the world, but he or she can help you to find your voice, connect to a support system, and utilize resources to restore hope and joy in your life.
