RECENT BLOG ARTICLES...
There are many things to consider in choosing a therapist and I have often been asked which is the most important. It's hard to say exactly which ingredient is the most important, but good rapport is certainly a vital component of a positive client-therapist alliance. When clients feel that they are understood in an environment with genuine concern, it is easier to expect positive results.
Beyond the therapeutic alliance, there are also three essential points to consider:
The qualifications and credentials of the therapist
Therapist's familiarity with specific issues
Style and/or structure of therapy
Women's Fertility Game Changer: Egg Freezing
As a clinical psychologist, I have encountered many women in their late 20's and early 30's who have anxiety because their biological clock is ticking, and they are nowhere near ready to have a baby - many of them feel they are too busy with careers or graduate school; and others struggle because they want to wait till they find a husband before becoming pregnant - yet they have no way of knowing when Mr Right will materialize.
More and more women today are considering egg freezing as a way to extend their fertility and remove the time pressure associated with women and fertility.
30, Single, and Dating On a Timeline? Part 1: Could He Be the One?
(3:50 minutes to read) A single woman in her late twenties or early thirties may find herself looking to find a husband sooner rather than later. With her self-esteem on the line or her biological clock ticking in her ears, she may be on a one-year timeline, meaning that after one year of dating, she's expecting a proposal of marriage.
How does a woman determine if the man she's dating is on the same timeline?
