Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

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.
