Feminist therapy offers a uniquely empowering approach to mental health care that goes beyond traditional therapeutic models. Rather than viewing challenges solely through an individual lens, it creates space to understand how our experiences connect to the broader social world. Through collaborative relationships between therapist and client, this approach weaves together personal wisdom with deep insights about how gender, culture, and social structures shape our mental health journeys. By honoring both individual experiences and systemic influences, feminist therapy provides powerful tools for healing from trauma, building authentic self-confidence, and creating meaningful change. While its roots lie in the women’s movement, today’s feminist therapy welcomes people of all genders and backgrounds, offering particular support for those who have faced marginalization or seek to understand their experiences in a wider context.
