Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
Like many women, you may be struggling with negative thoughts and difficult emotions about your body and self-worth. There issues typically surface at times of stress or transitional periods such as puberty, getting marries, menopause, and illnesses. Your struggles with body image and self-worth are not your fault. You learned and internalized messages about what your body should look like from society and those around you. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches I can help you critically examine and shift your thoughts and beliefs about your body and worth.

Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You’re tired of doing all the things. It's difficult to find fulfillment in day-to-day life in the midst of stress and burnout. I can help. You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to better understand yourself and your feelings and learn skills to break through this stalemate. The down days come fast and hard, and you know you’re wearing thin. You’re yearning to feel comfortable in your own skin, live with purpose and build more meaningful connections.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to give to everyone all the time? Once upon a time you felt on top of it all… you were happy and took pride in being able to manage so much, but that escapes you now. Everything feels so big, you feel isolated and you’ve been feeling this way for far too long. It’s hard to find happiness in day-to-day life amid feelings of anxiety or burnout.
With therapy, you will learn how to destroy the negative narratives living rent free in your head, gain a better understanding of yourself and build new skills that put you back in control of your life and emotions. You’ll have an empowering space committed solely to you where you can share free of judgment or criticism. You’ll gain clarity, build confidence and learn how to set healthy boundaries to foster connection and transform your life.

Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
If you find yourself overwhelmed in your current stage of life, you are not alone. Whether it’s with navigating work, raising children or caregiving for aging relatives, managing relationships, dealing with health issues, and or your own thoughts and emotions throughout the day, your body is signaling that the ways that you have been coping may not be serving you well anymore and it’s time to try something new. I assist women in stepping into the wholeness of who they are. With the woman as the expert on their own internal experience, I collaborate with them and encourage them to go deep into healing work so that they can be present, accept what is, and take an active-self leadership role in their life.
