Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
I help women break free from the beliefs and patterns that hold them back, guiding them to reclaim their power and confidence. Drawing from my best-selling book - Own Your Voice: Eight Emotional Habits That Empower Women, based on over ten years of research, I show women how to recognize what’s been keeping them small and how to cultivate habits that amplify their strength, clarity, and self-worth.
In therapy, we tackle the challenges women face—whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth—through powerful awareness and coaching strategies. My mission is to create a space where women can fully embrace their voice, honor their needs, and step into their lives with authenticity, courage, and empowerment.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
While my specialty is in pregnancy and postpartum, I support women navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional or identity concerns. Superwoman is no longer an ideal, but culture often tells us it is, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, unsure of priorities, or like we are unable to find balance in caring for others, work, and caring for ourselves. I provide a compassionate collaborative space to explore your goals, process emotions, and strengthen your understanding of yourself and what is most important to you. Together we can explore strategies for finding balance, making changes, and finding a sense of control in the chaos.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Midlife and retirement can be full of both reflection and transition—roles shift, relationships evolve, and new questions emerge about purpose, identity, and meaning. You may be adjusting to an empty nest, navigating professional life, caring for aging parents, or experiencing the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself—to sort through the swirl of feelings, find steadiness, and clarify what you want this next chapter to hold. Together, we’ll explore what’s been painful or difficult, uncover your strengths, and help you build a life that feels balanced, enjoyable, and fulfilling.

Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
In today’s society there are so many ways women are undermined and it can be difficult navigating the narratives placed upon women. You may be questioning your boundaries in the search for a partner, you may find yourself struggling with the inconsistent messaging the world iterates or just learning how to be grounded in your identity. I try my best to provide a welcoming space for women to let their guards down and feel comfortable in a world that makes that seem impossible.

Sound Mind Sound Body LLC
Psychologist, MPsy, PsyD
Women's issues are ones that are not specific to women, but can be-such as the reality of living in a patriarchy and how that affects well-being. Additionally, as someone who specializes in chronic health issues, women's health is another factor that suffers under a system that typically tends to downplay or dismiss experiences that are valid. Whether there are reproductive health concerns, challenges to identity, or stressors related to systems, I wish to support and improve well-being.

As women, we’re often expected to carry so much—quietly. You might feel like you’re always there for others, but struggling to show up for yourself.

Therapy is that space. You don’t have to keep pushing through—I'm here to support you.
