Counselling for Women in Barrie, ON
Despite recent progress, gender equality still exists. Women continue to face many challenges that are unique to the female experience, such as sexism, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. Additionally, many women feel pressured to meet unrealistic societal expectations regarding their appearance, body weight, and ability/desire to balance a family and career. Some also struggle with difficulties related to infertility, childbirth, parenting, and relationship roles. When you consider all of this, it is probably not surprising that women are almost twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression.
At Sweet Spot Family Counselling, we recognize the need for specialized counselling for women, including pregnancy and postpartum support. We are pleased to offer women-centered therapy in Barrie, Ontario, with a focus on increasing our female clients’ self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Our clinicians are passionate about helping women feel heard, validated, understood, and accepted.
