Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Women often navigate complex pressures related to identity, relationships, caregiving, career, body image, and societal expectations. I provide therapy grounded in attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models to explore how early relational experiences and cultural messages shape self-worth and emotional patterns.
Together, we work with parts that may feel over-responsible, self-critical, invisible, or overwhelmed. Therapy supports boundary clarity, emotional regulation, secure attachment, and a stronger sense of voice and agency.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I work with high functioning professional women who perform in multiple roles at work and at home, face corporate misogyny or age bias towards women, shoulder a large part of the parenting, relationship, household, social and financial responsibilities and feel pressure to hold everything together. Women are often pushed to meet impossible expectations, and are looked down upon for showing signs of strain. Therapy can support you in establishing boundaries, taking criticism less personally, and maintaining your own calmness, self-care and sense of self-worth, regardless of the pressure you're under. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective evidence based techniques that build resilience under pressure, free you from self-sabotaging reactivity, and help you to keep access to your calm, best-self.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Women’s issues often emerge at the intersection of identity, relationships, power, and expectation, including pressures around caretaking, achievement, body image, sexuality, and self-worth. I work with women navigating life transitions, relational patterns, and internalized roles that have required them to minimize their needs or overfunction for others. Therapy focuses on restoring agency, strengthening boundaries, and supporting choices that are self directed rather than driven by obligation or guilt.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
There is no way to ignore and live untouched by the system of male supremacy, despite the progress we've made over the past decades. I help women begin to understand how the many problems and challenges they've faced, believing them to be personal and psychological, have been fundamentally political ramifications of the male supremacist system we all endure. As a feminist prosocial psychologist, I support women raise their consciousness of the effects of the broader system and help them develop the strength and confidence they need to pursue the life they've wanted.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
I was raised by strong women. I saw the struggles and witnessed the physical and emotional abuse women experienced. This was my driving factor in becoming a therapist - help empower women, provide them a safe space to process, and foster their strength. Whether your struggles are with self-defeating beliefs, family struggles, work issues, relationships, trauma, marginalization, and/or feelings of isolation, I believe in your power to grow. Every seed needs fertilizer to grow; now you need to use the fertilizer to thrive.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I’m passionate about supporting women as they navigate the unique and often underacknowledged challenges that come with living in a gendered world. My work includes addressing issues related to women’s health, reproductive choices, fertility, pregnancy, and the complexities of identity, care work, and societal expectations. I believe specialized care for women is essential, and I strive to create a space that’s thoughtful, informed, and grounded in both emotional and cultural awareness. Whether you’re moving through a major transition or simply seeking support in reconnecting with yourself, this work is centered on honoring your experience and helping you feel more supported and understood.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Being a woman in the world is not easy! From the time we are born, we are socialized to be as small as possible: small appetites, small opinions, small voices, 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.
