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.

Rachel Burleson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
For generations women have been doing it all. We are taught from a young age to be everything to everyone. We are daughters, mothers, wives, employees, entrepreneurs, caretakers, and more recently, boss bitches. The media has sold us an image of what we should look, how we should act and has all the products and programs we need, if that doesn’t come naturally. Be sexy but not too sexy. Be pleasant and accommodating but don’t be a doormat. Look good, after all your body is here for others' enjoyment... and to sell products. Let's explore how all these implicit messages and expectations have impacted you. You might feel resentful because you compromised your boundaries and put everyone else's needs before your own. Maybe you've leaned into your masculine side because you related being feminine to being weak, vulnerable and dependent. Let's dismantle all the shit you've been told. Explore and connect with your powerful feminine energy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment, while addressing the messages you received about your role as a woman, your relationship with your body and the pressure to do it all.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
I enjoy working with women and find that we struggle with many of the expectations society and social media places on us. Just to name a few: weight management, aging, beauty, career, motherhood, marriage, and many other areas. The list is long. Women have experienced trauma at higher rates than men. Research tells us that 1 in 4 women have been sexually abused. That's just based on reported cases. I work with women's issues using Expressive Arts Therapy and talk therapy. Expressive Arts will give the opportunity to express yourself without words. I have found it moves therapy to the core of the issue faster. Using expressive arts is encouraged but never forced. I work at client's comfort level.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
My clients have always found me to be relatable due to my transparent and approachable style. I have specialized in women's issues because I'm a passionate advocate and believer in what women can bring to the table. We have long had to fight for so much and as we reveal the layers of society, I think we learn how this has impacted us on a deep level. Even with this work we are still professionals, parents, and caregivers, sometimes all at the same time. See me to talk about these issue and to think about what might work for you to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and the world at large.
