I am seeing a male therapist & my last therapist was also male. I also work with female therapists for group therapy & have seen female therapists in the past.

It tends to be more about the individual therapist than gender for me, but I admit that it is different. I get something different from sharing my sexual traumas with a male therapist vs. a female one. From a woman, it always feels like they can personally relate. My male therapist hasn't been there, hasn't been a woman, and so his perspective is just different.

That said, my female therapists are more emotional; though, I have seen other male therapists cry...so who knows.

It's really all about the individual. I would go, meet him, see how it feels before making and judgement calls.
