WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY

As a woman, you've been conditioned to put everyone else's needs before your own. You're the caregiver, the problem-solver, the one who holds everything together. But who takes care of you? When was the last time you prioritized your own mental health without feeling guilty about it?

It's time to change that narrative. Your mental health isn't a luxury - it's essential.

Your Mental Health Matters - And So Do You

THE UNIQUE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES WOMEN FACE

Women experience mental health differently than men, yet so much of the research and treatment approaches have historically been based on male experiences. As a woman, you face unique challenges that deserve specialized understanding:

- You feel everything deeply - both joy and pain. A beautiful sunset can move you to tears, and crpressure you to be nurturing, agreeable, and self-sacrificing, often at the expense of your own well-being.
- mother, partner, professional, daughter, friend - leaves you feeling stretched thin and wondering if you're failing at everything.
- including sexual assault, domestic violence, and workplace harassment disproportionately affect women and impact mental health in complex ways.
- like the wage gap, career interruptions for caregiving, and financial dependence can create chronic stress and anxiety.
- create ongoing pressure and self-criticism that affects self-worth and confidence.

THE HIDDEN STRUGGLES WOMEN FACE

Others have it worse, so you minimize your struggles and push through instead of seeking help.

You feel guilty for having problems.

✓

You give and give until you're running on empty, but asking for help feels selfish.

You're exhausted from caring for everyone else.

✓

Everyone else's schedule, preferences, and problems take priority over your own self-care and mental health.

Your needs always come last.

✓

Despite doing more than humanly possible, you focus on what's not perfect instead of celebrating what you accomplish.

You feel like you're failing at everything.

✓

Disappointing others feels worse than disappointing yourself, so you overcommit and burn out.

You struggle with saying no.

✓

Years of being told you're "too emotional" or "overreacting" have made you doubt your own experiences.

You question your own feelings.

I'm Mary Jackson, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I specialize in understanding the complex intersection of being a woman in today's world and maintaining mental wellness.
