Women's Issues
Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I love working with women, especially women of color. When working with women, I try to understand both the client's unique experience and the greater societal factors that often impact a woman's mental health. I work with women struggling with many issues including anxiety and depression, parenting, codependency, body image, sexual abuse, and relationship violence. I also work with many high-achieving, successful women who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, and relationship issues.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Were you always encouraged to not make waves? Not upset others? Stifle your own needs for the sake of keeping everyone else happy? Maybe after all those years of "playing it safe" and trying to keep everyone happy (which came at the expense of your own peace!), you're ready to explore who you really are and come to peace with not being a people pleaser. I help people-pleasing, sensitive, and caring women learn to identify who you are and what it is you want out of life so you feel confident in setting healthy boundaries, being assertive, and experiencing the freedom that comes with living life in a way that honors you.

Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Woman: Fight your urge for perfectionism! Many women suffer from the compulsion to deliver even better results. There is nothing wrong with that in principle, but it often leads to delays and excessive workloads. In order for women to get into leadership positions, they have to leave perfectionism at home and learn to sometimes just be content.
Perceive your inner family
By establishing contact and this communication with our body, we create the prerequisite for a serious change in the way we treat ourselves. We trace our prohibitions in order to be able to give permission where we have been restricted up to now. Let us now look at those parts of ourselves that restrict us: we find them in our inner family.
Strengthen your own personality in the long term
On the basis of a fairy tale ("The Seal Woman"), we work out the gaps and pitfalls of our own personality in a playful way, step by step.
Through various exercises and role plays, the female participants become aware of their own identity.
The goal is to return to the origin, to the natural "wild" nature of the woman.
The further goal is to learn to be independent and to determine one's own life, both in good and difficult times.
We know sentences like: "Be modest; adapt yourself; don't think too much; don't get the idea of getting out of line; be kind and say yes, even if it hurts and if you are almost choking on the word...".
To follow such a loveless value system in our society leads to extreme inner conflict.
"If we give up our true needs to exchange ourselves for the comfort of a golden cage, we will be grafted with the views of the dried-up old perfectionists". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)

"A woman hungry for her true soul life may appear elegant and well-fed from the outside, but inside she is a wide open throat with pleadingly outstretched arms and claws". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)

Women have unique challenges related to hormonal cycles, fertility, pregnancy and birth, motherhood, sisterhood wounds (competitiveness, judgment), body image, aging, sexualization, and the list goes on.
