Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals with women's issues, I provide a safe and empathetic space to address a range of concerns unique to women. This may include reproductive health, body image, gender identity, relationships, career challenges, or experiences of discrimination and inequality. Through therapy, education, and empowerment-focused approaches, we work together to explore these issues, develop coping strategies, and promote personal growth and well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate and overcome the challenges they face, ultimately fostering a sense of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in women's issues, my approach to therapy is sensitive, inclusive, and empowering. I provide a safe space for women to explore and address a wide range of challenges they may face, including gender discrimination, body image concerns, reproductive health issues, and relationship dynamics. Through a combination of feminist therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma-informed care, I help women understand and navigate societal pressures, internalized beliefs, and interpersonal conflicts. I aim to validate women's experiences, foster self-compassion, and promote resilience in overcoming obstacles. Additionally, I advocate for women's rights and empowerment, both within and outside the therapy room, while collaborating with other professionals and community resources to address systemic issues affecting women's well-being. My goal is to support women in realizing their strengths, reclaiming their autonomy, and achieving greater fulfillment in all aspects of their lives.
