Selina appears to have no issue having a male counselor, however, by having a female counselor can make her feel comfortable about disclosing information during therapy and feel more supported. If she was to have a male therapist, there might not be a trusting/therapeutic relationship between Selina and the therapist, which can block progress. By administering a female therapist, the countertransference will be helpful, the therapist can offer stronger empathy skills, and the therapist can relate to Salina’s situations, which helps Salina feel understood/heard.
