How to Cope with Female Hair Loss

Discovery Call

1:1 Hair loss coaching is suited for those with hair loss, particularly women who have to navigate much higher (and deeply unfair) standards of beauty

Hair loss coaching is an inside-out approach to help cope with female hair loss. Rather than focusing on external solutions, we will uncover thought, feeling and behavior patterns that are leaving you feeling stuck. The goal being that you no longer feel held back by hair loss and can live your most expansive life, no matter how much hair you have. Along this journey, we may discover you want to try external solutions such as wigs or treatment OR maybe you already use these things, but no longer want to feel like you are hiding behind them. Through hair loss coaching, you will lean into your authentic self and make decisions for your own values, rather than feeling pressured by societal standards.

Some things you may consider 1:1 hair loss coaching for…

  • Overcoming social anxiety related to hair loss

  • Feel more comfortable wearing wigs or desiring to stop wearing wigs

  • Finding your unique version of acceptance and confidence

  • Moving through the grief of hair loss

  • Redefining what beauty means to you

    or any other roadblocks hair loss is causing in your life!

  • I am not a doctor, so I can not provide or prescribe any medications for hair growth. Hair growth is often unpredictable. I often work with clients who are embarking on a treatment journey with their doctor. In our space, we will focus on managing expectations with treatment, increasing emotional coping skills, helping you make an informed decision about whether treatment options are right for you and processing the emotions you may feel while taking treatment.

  • A lot of things! Depending on your goals, we may work on various things including…

    • Learning emotion regulation skills

    • Incremental exposures to help you go out bald for the first time, start dating, or other things that hair loss has held you back from

    • Experimentation with wigs, hats or other accessories

    • Mirror exposure techniques to support body neutrality and acceptance

    • Cognitive techniques to reduce constant hair loss thoughts

    • Communication strategies and scripts to help you discuss Alopecia with people in your life

    • Boundary support to implement boundaries with friends, family or others

    • and more!

  • Acceptance is a constant practice! When you no longer try to change things outside of your control and develop a non-judgmental self-talk, it will bring you closer to acceptance. This is one of many things I support my hair loss clients with.
