Women’s Issues
Have you lost much of the joy you once felt? Are you struggling in an abusive or toxic relationship? Have years of living with low self-worth resulting in a less-than-desirable life?
Throughout the ages, women have been called “the fairer sex.” And yet, were you to ask women about their life experiences, many would admit their life’s events haven’t always seemed so fair.
Women may experience certain environmental, psychological and biological challenges related to gender that have a significant impact on their mental health and well-being. If not addressed properly, these challenges can turn into burdens that often lead to anxiety, depression and a lost sense of self.
At Truth Empowered Counseling & Wellness, our team proudly helps women in Nashville, Tennessee, and surrounding areas, seek help and support through whatever issues they may be facing.
Are Women More at Risk of Developing Mental Health Issues?
Daniel Freeman, Oxford University clinical psychologist analyzed 12 large-scale studies and concluded that women may be between 20% and 40% more likely to develop a mental illness than men. According to Freeman, “Women tend to view themselves more negatively than men and that is a vulnerability factor for many mental health problems.”
Some common mental health issues experienced by women include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Postpartum depression
- Postpartum psychosis
- Posttraumatic stress
- Eating disorders
- Borderline personality
- Mood-related challenges
- Low self-worth
- Self-harming behaviors
Understanding and addressing these challenges is vital for fostering mental well-being. Therapy tailored to women’s needs can provide the tools and support necessary to navigate these complexities, building resilience and promoting emotional health.
Why Seek Therapy for Women’s Issues?
Women’s issues can take a serious toll on a woman’s emotional, physical, and mental health. The effects can be mild to extreme, and in many cases, women are not able to cope with their issues on their own.
By seeking therapy, a woman can get the help she needs in overcoming an issue she has been struggling with. What’s more, therapy for women provides a safe, supportive space to explore the unique challenges they face across various stages of life. From balancing career and family responsibilities to navigating personal growth, relationships, and self-esteem issues, women often encounter mental health concerns influenced by societal expectations, biological factors, and life transitions.
Different Types of Therapy
There are several therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), that can offer coping tools and new perspectives. Seeking therapy can be an empowering first step on the road back to YOU. And while each step you take may, at times, feel challenging, uncertain and scary, you will have someone right there with you listening and encouraging you to cross that finish line.

Experienced therapists understand the specific needs of women, offering personalized approaches to address a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, trauma, and self-worth.
