Start with a part of life
What is on your mind?
Every therapist here lists women's issues among their focus areas, and most work with many other concerns too. Choose the part of life that feels closest; each topic page lists the therapists who name it.
Relationships
Partners, exes, friends and family: how you talk, what you need, and what to do when trust or closeness has worn thin.
Work and money
Pressure at work, a career that no longer fits, worries about money, or the sense of carrying more than your share.
Body and health worries
Living with an illness or pain, sleep that will not settle, or a difficult relationship with food or how you look.
Motherhood and caregiving
Hoping for a child, expecting one, raising one, or looking after someone else, and finding room for yourself in it.
Big life changes
A move, a loss, an ending or a new chapter, at any age. Change can be wanted and still be hard.
Identity and confidence
How you see yourself, the voice in your head, and the space you feel you are allowed to take up.
Where you live
By country and US state
Sessions are online, so where someone is listed mostly tells you how their credentials work. Choose the country, or the US state, shown on each profile.

Worth knowing
Before you start
What talk therapy can offer
- A regular time to talk with someone whose job is to listen without judging you.
- Room to sort through what is weighing on you, at a pace that suits you.
- A chance to try different ways of handling stress, low mood, worry or a knock to your confidence.
What it is not
- Online talk therapy is not medical, reproductive or legal care. For those, speak to a doctor, clinic or lawyer.
- No one can promise a particular outcome, or how quickly things will change.
- Listing a focus area is not, by itself, evidence of specialist training. If that matters, ask.
