Women's Issues
Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
My clients have always found me to be relatable due to my transparent and approachable style. I have specialized in women's issues because I'm a passionate advocate and believer in what women can bring to the table. We have long had to fight for so much and as we reveal the layers of society, I think we learn how this has impacted us on a deep level. Even with this work we are still professionals, parents, and caregivers, sometimes all at the same time. See me to talk about these issue and to think about what might work for you to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and the world at large.

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.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Women often navigate complex layers around body image, desire, sexual shame, people-pleasing, motherhood, hormonal changes, or the pressure to “have it all together” while still longing for deeper emotional and sexual fulfillment. In individual or couples work, we explore these themes with compassion and directness, unpacking old patterns, healing relational wounds, and reconnecting with your authentic needs and pleasures. Therapy here supports you in building relationships—starting with the one with yourself—that feel nourishing, empowered, and genuinely intimate.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a woman and a woman of color, our identity is central to our lived experience. 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. Even the term "women's issues" is simply a tip of an iceberg. Let's talk about it.

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.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Are you frequently the empath to the narcissist in your relationships? Do you often ignore what you need and feel codependent or are overly self-reliant in your connections with others?
Do you sense that “younger,” unhealed aspects within you might be sabotaging your health, livelihood, relationships, or your willingness to ask for support? I specialize in supporting women to heal “unfinished emotional business” from the past in a strength-focused, non-pathologizing, depth-oriented, and strictly confidential way.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Women often navigate complex and sometimes conflicting expectations—around relationships, work, caregiving, identity, and self-worth. Therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of these pressures, as well as the emotional experiences that can accompany them, such as anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or feeling overwhelmed. Together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and care, helping you deepen your understanding of yourself and find ways of relating—to yourself and others—that feel more grounded, flexible, and aligned with who you are.

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.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you feel weighed by so many life demands? The expectation to work, care for the family, keep up the home, and so on, can feel draining. Even when you want to feel peaceful and content, instead, you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by stress, burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. Each day feels like you are being stretched thinner, and you wonder how much more you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Let us work together to help you stay balanced.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, confidants, innovators, storytellers, trailblazers. There is no shortage of roles that women take on throughout life. These roles are often embraced with immeasurable heart and grit and little-to-no complaint. And yet, struggle exists. You may be hesitant to discuss these issues, or you may feel like screaming them from the rooftops. Either way, I’d love to hear them. Too often, women carry shame, guilt, and self-criticism on top of the day-to-day stress of juggling it all. From difficulties surrounding career, pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood to the lasting effects of abuse and interpersonal trauma, therapy can provide a much-needed space to process these experiences. I am deeply passionate about women’s advocacy and empowerment and have trained extensively in women’s mental health.
