The feminist therapy has its core focus on the empowerment of women and giving them the help on how to discover a way of breaking the molds and stereotypes of the indigenous and traditional roles women play which are a block to their growth and development. The therapist theory is much focused on making women more strong in assertiveness, self-esteem and actualization, relationships, and communication. Among the many goals, the therapist theory aims at developing equality in mutual relationships of support and caring (Marianne, Gerald, & Cindy, 2016).

As per the feminist therapy, the therapist draws a unique believe that their client is the only “responsible expert” in his/her very own issues and is able to help them grow and develop the relevant tools that are needed to attain their full potential uniquely and as an individual of own value.  At the core of feminist theory therapeutic process, is gender and power for it is much built on the ground that it is vital to put into consideration the cultural and social context which greatly contributes to any person’s issues and problems for a better understanding of that person. The feminist therapy central concept includes the women’s psychological oppression and the consequential constraints therefore implied by the socio-political status that relegate women (Marianne, Gerald, & Cindy, 2016).

Feminist therapy is a choice owing to its eye-opening approach to the client. It raises awareness and conscience concerning their own gender-role in the process of socialization. One may choose the feminist therapy for its ability to identify the internalized gender-role messages and consequently and according replenish and replace them well with practical, unoppressive and functional beliefs. The therapy helps one to become personally empowered and have a free choice towards acquiring the needed skills for change in one’s environment. Self-esteem is all that builds a person. Feminist therapy that revolves around empowering and upholding the self-esteem and making the client aware of their own self and potential may be a preference (Marianne, Gerald, & Cindy, 2016).
