Women's Issues therapists in Edgewater, Maryland MD
Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health.
I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented.
Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends.
I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative).
So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
As a therapist, I approach women's issues with empathy and understanding, integrating Narrative Therapy to help my clients rewrite their narratives and redefine their identities in a way that empowers them. Through Person-Centered Therapy, I create a nurturing and validating environment where women feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients in embracing their thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful steps towards living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Many women struggle with trying to be all things to all people. Maintaining a career, raising children, and caring for elderly parents can often be issues that they face. Setting boundaries and self-care are some of the interventions that are explored in counseling.

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC
When treating women's issues, creating a safe and empathetic space for women to explore their unique experiences and concerns without judgment is essential in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques can be employed to address specific cognitive distortions or negative thought patterns related to women's issues, such as imposter syndrome or body image concerns. Integrative therapy may incorporate elements of DBT, internal family systems, and somatic therapy to holistically address women's issues, considering the interplay of psychological, interpersonal, and cultural factors in the client's life.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For 50 years I have specialized in women's issues in psychotherapy. I was the first Feminist
Therapist in the Washington, DC metro area. I specialize in women's issues, and have presented on this subject at the Association for Humanistic Psychology as well as the American Psychological
Association. I have also given talks all over the United States on Feminist Therapy. I was featured on the front page of the "Outlook" section of The Washington Post on Feminist Therapy. In addition, I did the initial training for the staff of the Rape Crisis Center in the early 1970's. I also taught a class on Women's studies for The George Washington University, and American University. In addition, I gave talks on Feminist Therapy to the Brookings Institute and different colleges and universities. I have written articles for "Off Our Backs" and have chapters in "The Radical Therapist" and "Rough Times". I also organized a Feminist Therapy Conference in Washington, D.C. One can attend my
regular free zoom webinars as well. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000
