Women’s Issues

Seeing Dr. Zoldbrod for Womens’ Issues

I have long been recognized as an expert in womens’ issues. As far back as 1992, I was invited by Shape Magazine to be on the Editorial Advisory Board for their special Pregnancy issue. Of course, I accepted.

When it comes to understanding womens’ issues, besides my academic credentials, I make use of my experience as a friend, daughter, wife, and mother of two. My style is to be very engaged in the therapeutic relationship, a style which many women find more healing than an “objective” analytic stance.

I am recognized nationally and internationally as an expert in womens’ reproductive, mental health,and sexual health issues. I take a bio-psycho-social approach to solving women’s problems, working with physicians, always looking at body-mind interactions, as well as relationship and intra-psychic issues. I’ve been involved in research which evaluates the efficacy of medication in helping women’s desire and arousal problems, and I’ve interviewed women of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds about their sexual lives. Take a look at the articles page and my blog to see if your issues are addressed there.

Sex and Motherhood

Dr. Zoldbrod's second career could have been as a comedienne. You might want to listen to this very well received speech she gave on Motherhood and Sexuality at the Newton Mother's Forum, Newton, Ma.

Motherhood is the biggest transition in most women's lives. As the mother of two now adult children, Dr. Z remembers the attendant issues as vividly as if they were yesterday! Dr. Zoldbrod can help with issues with adjustment to motherhood, couple issues with the transition, and the very common and vexing sexual problems that can arise.

I PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLES THERAPY FOR MANY OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMEN’S ISSUES.
