Don’t Face Women’s Issues Alone; Talk with Chapin & Russell Associates
There are many challenges in life that are unique to being a woman and require a special understanding and expertise to address. Women face childbirth, postpartum depression, infertility, hormone imbalances, eating disorders, self-image issues, menopause, breast cancer, and the responsibility for being caregivers to multiple generations simultaneously. Our counselors in Peoria IL have the experience and knowledge to help women cope with their personal concerns in a compassionate and understanding environment.
Common Women’s Issues
Women and men face many of the same mental health concerns. However, gender-specific challenges impact women differently, presenting new sets of issues that men don’t usually experience. For this reason, having an experienced mental health professional of the same gender can prove to be beneficial. Women’s issues can be borne from societal expectations of women, alongside cultural influences, childhood upbringing, discrimination, etc. Chapin & Russell Associates will address the source of these issues and develop effective treatment plans for resolving your concerns. Some of the common women’s issues we assist clients with include:
- Depression – Feelings of sadness, loneliness and depression can impact women’s physical and mental well-being if left to worsen over time. Women are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression than men. If concerned you might be experiencing prolonged symptoms of depression, talking with a counselor can help.
- Postpartum Depression – Women may experience extreme symptoms of depression immediately after childbirth. If these symptoms persist, postpartum depression can impact your mental well-being after giving birth and cause ongoing struggles. Thankfully, Chapin & Russell Associates has experience managing this form of clinical depression common in women.
- Anxiety, Stress & Burnout – As employees, mothers, daughters, caretakers, etc., women fill multiple roles daily. Unfortunately, the pressure of meeting everyone’s expectations can take its toll on your mental health. Anxiety, stress, and burnout commonly develop in women who might feel like they can’t keep up with life’s daily challenges. Chapin & Russell Associates is here to provide comfort and reassurance, helping our clients find easier ways to manage their lives.
- Discrimination – Sexism and discriminatory practices are still prevalent in everyday life, even as more awareness has been brought to these issues. As a woman, you might face discrimination at home, in the workplace, at the store, or anywhere else. Continued discrimination can wear on you mentally, no matter how subtle or overt. If you feel sad, upset, anxious, or hopeless over the discrimination you face, talking with a counselor can help.
- Low Self-Esteem – It’s common to experience low self-esteem at some point in your life. However, low self-esteem becomes problematic when it impacts your thoughts, feelings, and interactions with others. In addition, issues of low self-esteem can be a pathway toward problems like depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and more. Restore confidence in yourself with the help of Chapin & Russell Associates.
