Women's Issues Social Workers in Chicago, Illinois

Being a woman comes with many incredible strengths — but women’s experiences also contain many pain points that can lead to frustration, anger, resentment, shame, anxiety, depression, and more. Many clients enter therapy wanting to talk about how their identity as a woman impacts their mental health. This could include juggling the role of working professional, mother, wife, sister, daughter, and more. It could also include the societal pressures to be a woman who “has it all” or the beauty norms that many companies include in their advertising.

social workers who specialize in working with women are passionate about providing a compassionate, introspective environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their emotions and processing through the difficulties they face daily. These social workers may bring up relationship dynamics, family systems and roles, learned beliefs about what it means to be a woman, self-esteem and self-love, or other topics relevant to the client’s mental health.
