The Single Woman's Series- Therapy for Single Women Tools
You're single and searching for love ❤️
As a therapist in private practice, I started to see an overwhelming number of single women walking through my door feeling helpless, hopeless and broken hearted. Despite their countless gifts, kind hearts and hard working nature, they felt as though they'd never heal their hearts and find the relationship they've been searching for.
I know that they're not alone. So, it became my mission to dig into the pains of being a single woman looking for love in today's world. I've interviewed countless women along with experts in love, relationships and women's empowerment and will be sharing these stories and insights over the next handful of weeks.
My hope is that this series will help you put the pieces of your heart back together, utilize new strategies and tools in the dating world and discover what's holding you back not only in love, but in life.

Finding Healing, Hope, and Empowerment in the Search for Love
You’re single, searching for love, and maybe wondering—“What’s wrong with me?”
Let me stop you right there. Nothing. Is. Wrong. With. You.
They weren’t lacking effort or insight. What they were lacking was support. Real, nuanced support tailored to the modern experience of dating while single, healing, and hopeful. And that’s where this series began.
Why We Need Therapy for Singles
While therapy often focuses on healing from the past or managing anxiety, there’s a growing need for therapy for singles—particularly women navigating modern dating, breakups, attachment wounds, and relationship patterns. Because dating today isn’t just about finding “the one”—it’s about managing apps, ghosting, situationships, and the very real emotional labor of putting yourself out there again and again.
Does therapy help with dating?
Absolutely. In fact, many women find that therapy becomes the most powerful tool in their dating toolkit—not just for understanding what they want, but for identifying why they’ve been accepting less, repeating patterns, or struggling with self-worth along the way.
Therapy creates a space where you can:
Unpack past relationship wounds and attachment patterns
Set clearer, more confident boundaries
Identify your relationship non-negotiables (and red flags)
Rebuild your self-esteem after heartbreak
Practice healthy vulnerability and communication
When dating starts to feel like emotional whiplash, counseling for single women can offer the grounding and clarity you’ve been craving.
Things Single Women Wish You'd Talk About in Therapy
Many of the women I work with shared that before coming to therapy, they often felt dismissed when they brought up dating struggles—as if wanting a relationship was somehow shallow or unimportant. But romantic connection is a core human need, and not having it (or constantly struggling to find it) can take a toll on your mental health.
Here are some of the real, raw topics single women have told me they wish they could talk about more in therapy:
“Why do I always fall for emotionally unavailable people?”
“Am I too picky or just afraid of settling?”
“How do I stop replaying old relationships in my mind?”
“I hate dating apps but I’m scared I’ll miss out if I don’t use them.”
“Why does it feel like I have to work so hard to be loved?”
“What if I never find someone—and how do I grieve that possibility?”
These questions aren’t superficial—they’re deeply tied to attachment wounds, self-worth, societal pressure, and unprocessed grief. And they deserve time, space, and compassion.
The Power of Therapy for Single Women
Therapy for single women is about so much more than “fixing your dating life.” It’s about reclaiming your relationship with yourself.
It’s about healing the places that feel unlovable. It’s about challenging the narratives that tell you your worth is defined by a relationship status.
And it’s about creating emotional safety—not just with a partner someday, but within your own nervous system today.
Whether you’re newly single, burned out from dating, or grieving a breakup that still lingers—this series is for you. We’ll be diving into the psychology of love and loss, exploring attachment theory, self-compassion, boundary setting, and what it really means to date from a healed place.
