Women's Issues therapists in Putnam, Connecticut CT
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.

I am passionate about helping women and transgender/non-binary clients address stress, relationships, and work/life balance issues. I approach therapy from a feminist and multicultural lens, taking into account the unique lived experiences, identities, values, and roles that one has so that we can create a tailored and specific path for you to find healing and overall wellness.

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.

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.
