Women’s Issues Today
Why Women’s counseling? Being a woman today is like Dickens described so long ago – the best of times and the worst of times. It is easy sharing the best of times with family and friends – but what do you do when the great times of life go dark? Women today have to deal with so many issues – things like:
- Infertility
- Work-life balance
- Post-Partum depression
- Feelings of not being “enough”
- Chronic pain
- and yes – too often single motherhood
But in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, it is good to know that you are not alone and you have an outlet for those feelings that is safe and trusting with Alyssa Thomas. She has made her focus a variety of programs designed to provide for the best women’s counseling techniques today.

Women in 2021
Even before the pandemic, being a woman was stressful.
Here are some things that you probably knew in your gut already, but it helps to be reminded that you are not alone in your feelings are justified by facts:
- Mothers are the primary or sole earner for about 40% of households with children under 18 (US Department of Labor)
- 72% of moms with children over 1-year-old work (about the same as childless women)
- Women average 2.2 hrs / day, vs. 1.3 hrs / day for men
- Moms with a full-time job spend 13 hours working at the office or at home on family chores.
Women’s counseling can help your “issues”
- Accept and honor your feelings – even the bad ones
- Carve out some “me” time, even if it is just a few minutes a day
- Find a support system – a friend who will listen and not solve your problems or a support group
- Exercise at least three times each week for thirty minutes or more – look at it as “me” time
- As has been written about so often – find and count your blessings
- Get professional support when you feel out of control and everything else fails to change your feelings
