I once casually mentioned my therapist to a friend who flinched, shocked that I was so open about being in—hushed tone—therapy. Listen, I’ve been through some shit in my life, and I’ll shout from the rooftops that my amazing therapist is the only reason I’m not shouting from the rooftops.
If you’re new to or returning to therapy, the rule of thumb I’ve heard is to interview at least three providers before you commit to one, and it’s definitely worth a trip to Womencare to see if one of their folks is a good fit for you. I’d highly recommend them if you’re navigating current or past trauma, if you have pesky patterns in your life you’re looking to upend and/or if you need a growth-focused therapist you can’t outsmart. Womencare’s tough-love therapists aren’t here for your “let’s just talk about my cat for 50 minutes every time,” and I’ve appreciated the focus on healing and progress. All at a price I could afford. v
