Women's Issues
Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Being a woman in the world is no easy task. From the time we are born, we are socialized to be small: small appetites, small opinions, small bodies. We are to smile and take care of others. We are to never get angry and never complain. We are simultaneously not enough and too much, all at once - and how is that even possible? That's why I specialize in working with women's issues in therapy. If this sounds like you, let's work together to help you take your power back and build a life in which you get to be yourself, in all your expansiveness and beauty.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with female identified clients who are looking for support in managing fears or making decisions around dating, marriage, open or poly relationships, pregnancy, IVF, and menopause. I also support women who bring in issues that impact them sexually in relation to being a survivor of sexual trauma.

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a woman in America in 2024 is not easy. A mentor of mine once said that she did not envy my experience as a woman today. She grew up in a different time, a time when she was expected to be a good mother for her children and a responsible homemaker for her husband. Today, beyond these roles, there is a subtle, quiet undercurrent of expectations including, but by no means limited to, being a “good” wife, sister, friend, and neighbor (what does “good” mean anyway?), a career woman, an impromptu party host with a meticulous home (cook, housekeeper, etc.), and a selfless volunteer in the community, all while maintaining a size 2 figure. How can we possibly manage all this and more? Together we can explore the expectations you have of yourself as well as your place in today's world.

Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women's Issues: Women, through all the stages of their lives, have issues that are specific to their gender. We have hormonal challenges that can affect us in many different ways. In a male-dominated culture, we can often feel different and sometimes alone. Women need to be in a respected space where they feel safe exploring the ways they feel their gender has affected them.
