Women's Issues
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’ve spent years showing up, taking care of others, and getting things done—even when it meant setting your own needs aside. But lately, something feels off. Maybe you’re feeling more irritable, foggy, anxious, or exhausted than usual. Your body and mind are shifting, and the strategies that once helped no longer seem to work. Whether you're navigating identity changes, caregiving fatigue, high-functioning burnout, or the often-disorienting symptoms of perimenopause, you deserve support that sees the full picture.
I work with women, femmes, and gender-expansive adults who are carrying a lot—from caretaking and career demands to invisible labor and internalized expectations. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and deeply capable—and still find themselves feeling burned out, anxious, over-functioning, and disconnected from themselves. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
In therapy, we’ll explore the complex emotional landscape of midlife—where physical, emotional, and existential shifts converge. This may include hormonal changes, mood swings, grief, rage, shifting roles, and the pressure to “age gracefully” in a culture that minimizes your pain. These experiences are often compounded by neurodivergence, trauma, or societal pressures around gender, body, and productivity.
This is a space to make sense of what you’re experiencing—not as a personal failing, but as a signal that something deeper needs tending. Here, you have permission to be messy, complex, and real. Together, we’ll examine how early relational dynamics, internalized expectations, overlooked neurodivergence, and systemic messages about womanhood shape how you show up for others—and for yourself. We’ll get clear on what’s shifting, what still matters, and what needs to change so you can show up more fully for you.
With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt and depletion toward clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of agency. Whether you’re unlearning old patterns, adjusting to hormonal shifts, or simply craving a space to rest and be real, I’m here. We’ll also work toward a version of self-care that isn’t performative—but deeply nourishing and sustainable.

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.

Women's Issues
Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Hormonal transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause/menopause can profoundly impact a woman’s nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and sense of self. Anxiety, panic, irritability, mood swings, brain fog, exhaustion, or feeling unlike yourself are common during these seasons—not because something is “wrong,” but because your body and brain are adapting to immense internal change while often carrying invisible expectations to keep functioning as usual.
Through integrative somatic therapy, I support women in understanding and working with these shifts rather than pushing through them. Our work focuses on restoring nervous system balance, developing greater flexibility, and increasing capacity for rest, regulation, and self-trust. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect with your strengths and clarify what you need in this season. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, honoring your body’s wisdom, and creating steadiness and resilience in this new chapter of life.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.
