Women's Issues
Julia Simmons
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional and physical well-being is important to everyone regardless of gender, however there are particular concerns that are exclusive or more prevalent among women. This can be due to biological influences as well as psychosocial factors. Though not an all encompassing list, some concerns that I can uniquely connect with women on are: Postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis, infertility, miscarriage, abortion, pain during sex, endometriosis, PCOS, and other gynecological conditions, transitions to motherhood, family / career balance, domestic violence, emotional / mental abuse and gaslighting, history of molestation or rape, self- injurious behavior, eating disorders and sexism / oppression.

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.

Psychologist
Working to address women's issues in therapy involves a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges and experiences faced by women across various stages of life. With a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, I address a range of topics including gender roles, body image, reproductive health, relationships, and career aspirations. Utilizing feminist therapy principles and evidence-based techniques, I create a safe and supportive space for women to explore their concerns, heal from past traumas, and navigate societal pressures. By empowering women to voice their needs, assert boundaries, and cultivate self-compassion, my specialized expertise aims to facilitate personal growth, empowerment, and resilience in the face of gender-related struggles.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Empowering women, especially highly-sensitive and late-diagnosed neurodivergent women, is my greatest passion. People-pleasing, perfectionism, martyrdom, abuse, neglect, self-doubt, sexual oppression, and discrimination are all too common for most women in our society. It's my honor to help you remember your worth, shed the unhelpful messages/demands from society, and listen to your inner wisdom with trust, confidence, and self-compassion.
