WOMEN'S ISSUES
Women often spend most of their time caring for others, working themselves to the bone to ensure their partners, families, and friends are ok.
You do so much trying to meet everyone else’s needs that sometimes your cup ends up running empty. And while you are resilient and strong, you may encounter complex challenges that leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
Some relate to your ability to bring life into this world and your parenting dynamics. You may struggle with infertility, pregnancy complications, or postpartum depression. Perhaps motherhood has proven to be more difficult than you expected, or you haven’t been able to see eye to eye with your partner on how to raise your children.
Other issues may revolve around your relationships and your career. You might suffer from abuse and violence at home or gender bias and discrimination in the workplace.
And sometimes, you might face difficulties about your sense of self, grappling to traverse your gender identity and sexual orientation.
No matter how much hardship you have endured, please remember you are not alone. Therapy can help you pave a path to a wholesome and healthy life.
Here at Hearst Psychotherapy, we strive to help women stand in their power so they can manage roadblocks in their journey and succeed. We seek to assist BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and diverse communities in North Carolina by offering various therapeutic services, including therapy for women’s issues.
You deserve the chance to take care of yourself the same way you take care of those around you.

Therapy, also known as talk therapy, counseling, or psychotherapy, is a form of treatment that focuses on addressing psychological, emotional, and behavioral challenges.
Therapy for women’s issues centers on treating women as they navigate their unique problems.
During therapy, you will meet with a licensed mental health professional to discuss what troubles you, explore your symptoms, and gain resources to manage them. The goal is to open a safe and warm space to reflect on your experiences, thoughts, and emotions with the guidance of a trained specialist.
Research shows that women are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety or depression and may experience considerable distress associated with reproductive health problems.
Some of the issues commonly experienced by women include but are not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Abuse or violence
- Childbearing problems or infertility
- Depression (including postpartum depression)
- Difficulties with gender identity, sexual orientation, or sexual activity
- Eating disorders
- Gender bias or discrimination
- Motherhood or parenting challenges
- Risky or harmful behaviors
- Trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Your life doesn’t need to be in crisis for therapy to support you. While seeing a therapist is beneficial to address difficulties impacting your well-being, it’s also an excellent option to seek personal growth and development.
If you or someone you love are struggling with any of the above issues or looking for practical strategies to evolve, therapy can help.
Offering non-judgmental support
Therapy allows you to speak about your worries, dreams, and hopes without criticism or pressure. Your therapist will be there to act as a reliable sounding board, listening with intention and fostering honest conversations.
Exploring and addressing symptoms
As you discuss your concerns, you will explore where they might be coming from and how they are manifesting in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your therapist will guide you to connect the dots and identify any problematic practices or habits you may be resorting to cope. This will give you greater awareness to create positive change and ease your symptoms.
Gaining practical tools and resources
Therapy empowers you with tangible exercises and effective strategies to apply in your everyday life. As treatment goes on, your therapist will make any necessary adjustments to continue to support your progress. The idea is to help you show up as your best self as you manage challenges as a mom, partner, daughter, sister, and friend.
