Margaret Shouse
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I have always struggled to felt understood about issues specifically related to me being a woman. I often felt ignored, misunderstood, or not taken seriously. This is why I always strive to have my clients feel listened to, heard, and understood. There are so many unique social and cultural forces that women are up against and I am here to help you dismantle what we have been taught our whole life. I am here on this journey with you to work through and process whatever issues you are feeling, and to help you foster a better sense of who you are.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Let’s be honest—being a woman means constantly evolving, often without a roadmap. From navigating fertility and reproductive challenges to the identity shifts of motherhood (or deciding not to be a mother), and from the unexpected rollercoaster of perimenopause to the emotional complexities of aging—this journey is not for the faint of heart.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, resentful, invisible, or just not like yourself. Maybe you’re grieving what your body used to do with ease. Maybe you’re wrestling with guilt, exhaustion, or the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Whatever you're carrying, I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can exhale, process, and feel seen.
As a licensed psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience—and a fellow human walking this path—I work with women across all life stages using mindfulness-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and compassion-focused approaches. I blend clinical expertise with a healthy dose of humor, humanity, and genuine care.
We’ll explore your story with curiosity and kindness, untangle old patterns, and reconnect you to your own wisdom. Whether you're navigating hormones, heartache, or hard decisions—I’m here to help you feel more empowered, more grounded, and more like you again.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Women struggle with so many different challenges that are not reflective of who they are but more so of the circumstances they are faced with. We also tend to judge ourselves more and are our toughest critics. I can help you find who you are today or who you want to be today. I love doing this exercise of self-discovery to help you find your own mission statement or what is in your "pot of gold" at the end our your rainbow. With this new information we can embark on a journey that helps you live life more authentically and purposefully. This is what will ultimately lead to your best life!

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.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
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. Whether you're navigating burnout, relationship struggles, motherhood, identity, or the pressure to be “everything,” you deserve space to breathe, be heard, and reconnect with your own needs. Therapy is that space. You don’t have to keep pushing through—I'm here to support you.

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.

Annette Popernik

We experience things a worldview that has often been imparted to us but is also affected by gender violence, sexism, and stereotypes. I am not here to assume what your experience has been.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The expectations are relentless. Be successful but not too ambitious. Be a good mother and a good partner and a good daughter and a good employee, and make it all look effortless. Your needs end up last, if they make the list at all. And when you struggle, you wonder what's wrong with you instead of questioning the impossible standards. We work with women navigating the particular pressures that come with being a woman in this world: identity and role transitions, relationship dynamics, body image, reproductive challenges, career and family tensions, and the simple exhaustion of doing too much for too long. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women’s experiences are often shaped by complex layers of early relationships, internalized expectations, and relational patterns that influence identity, self-worth, and connection. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, I have extensive experience supporting women across life stages. My work draws on private practice, a full-time clinical internship at a transitional housing program for formerly incarcerated women, and a background in women’s studies, allowing me to approach each woman’s experience with understanding, empathy, and attention to both emotional and relational well-being. In our work, we explore these dynamics in a supportive, reflective space, attending to both conscious feelings and the unconscious processes that may influence us. Approached with curiosity and respect, this work can foster deeper self-understanding, emotional integration, and a stronger sense of agency in your life.
