Hello,

I suggest you add “disability” to your list of treatment areas. Please note that this is NOT the same as chronic pain, medical problems, etc. People with lifelong disabilities can sometimes reach a stage in their life (for me it was in my late 20’s) when they need to come to terms with the meaning of their disability. Additionally, people who become disabled due to accident, war, injury, disease, assault, etc. have many issues to work through related to their new status, including: identity issues, anger, grief, fear, guilt, family/ relationship problems, internalized oppression, how to deal with societal prejudice, career change, the meaning of what has happened to them, what is important to them in life now that they see they are not immortal, etc.

I find categories such as Illness, or Health/Healing too general. I specialize in therapy for women affected by breast cancer, I had breast cancer, and my clients were looking for a therapist who had personal knowledge of it. I know others who have sought out therapists personally knowledgeable about other medical conditions, such as MS, or Lupis, and more …

so, I’d like to see a category for Breast Cancer (all too common in the Bay Area)

MS?
Lupis?
other suggestions?

Hi, included in my practice is a specialization working with women affected by breast cancer and the people who love them — if you could include Breast Cancer on the list, I’d appreciate that. Thanks.

I do a lot of work with (mostly women’s) and female adolescents issues with both food and body image. In addition I’d like to see binge eating disorder added to the list. I’ve had numerous clientswho began anorexic and then flipped 180 degrees to becoming overweight and in some cases obese. This is not at all uncommon. Additionally, I do a lot of work with weight loss and educate people why diets don’t work and emotional eating.
