You are the expert on your own experience.

Feminist therapy isn’t just about gender — it’s about power, voice, and identity. It’s about looking at your life in context: your family, your culture, your relationships, and the systems you live within. And it’s about reclaiming your right to take up space, speak your truth, and define healing on your own terms.

At Wildflowers In Bloom Counseling, Caitlin Bloom, LPCC, is a feminist therapist in Kentucky offering therapy online for women, couples, and young adults. She creates space for you to explore what has shaped you, what’s holding you back, and what it means to live with more authenticity, freedom, and connection.

What Is Feminist Therapy?

Feminist therapy is a collaborative, empowering approach to mental health care that recognizes the ways societal structures — including sexism, racism, heteronormativity, ableism, and classism — can impact your emotional well-being. Rather than seeing your distress as something “wrong” with you, feminist therapy looks at the bigger picture of how you've been conditioned to feel, cope, or stay silent.

Key principles of feminist therapy include:

  • Centering your lived experience and inner wisdom

  • Exploring how systems of power and oppression affect mental health

  • Reclaiming your voice, agency, and identity

  • Valuing the therapeutic relationship as a partnership

  • Challenging harmful societal messages and roles

  • Creating space for liberation, joy, and healing

A Feminist Therapist in Kentucky Who Focuses on Your Voice

Caitlin’s decision to practice feminist therapy is deeply personal. As someone who grew up struggling to find her voice, she understands the power of being heard — and the pain of being silenced. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe enough to tell the truth, examine where our stories come from, and imagine something more life-giving.

She works with women, young adults, and couples to explore the emotional impact of shame, guilt, perfectionism, body image, caregiving roles, identity struggles, and systemic harm. As an inclusive therapist for women, Caitlin helps clients understand that they are not broken — they are responding to a world that often asks too much while offering too little support.

How Feminist Therapy Connects With Other Approaches

Feminist therapy is the foundation of Caitlin’s work, but it’s not the only approach she uses. Depending on your needs and goals, she may integrate:

Trauma-Informed Therapy

To support nervous system regulation, safety, and self-trust — especially when past experiences continue to impact your present.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

To explore the different “parts” of you — including the inner critic, the people-pleaser, or the wounded child — with compassion and curiosity.

Attachment-Based Therapy

To explore how early relationships have shaped your beliefs about love, worth, and connection — and begin forming more secure patterns.

Somatic Therapy

To help you reconnect with your body, access stored emotion, and move through pain or anxiety that words alone can’t reach.

Gottman Method
(for Couples)

To support equitable, emotionally connected relationships through evidence-based tools that align with feminist values of mutual respect and care.

All of these approaches are adapted to honor your identity, your voice, and your pace. This is what makes Caitlin an inclusive therapist for women — she meets you where you are with care and collaboration.

Who Is Feminist Therapy For?

Feminist therapy is for anyone who wants to:

  • Understand themselves in context

  • Heal from internalized shame, oppression, or silence

  • Feel more grounded and whole in their identity

  • Unlearn harmful roles or patterns

  • Reconnect with their values, needs, and voice

  • Create more balanced, equitable relationships

It’s especially helpful for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC clients, caregivers, survivors, and anyone who’s ever felt like they had to “be small” to survive.

Therapy That Focuses on You

You don’t have to keep navigating life by yourself — or pretending to be fine when you’re not. You deserve a place to be real, to ask hard questions, and to move forward without shame.

If you’re looking for an inclusive therapist for women who honors your story, your values, and your voice, feminist therapy online may be the next right step.
