It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health.
I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented.
Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends.
I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative).
So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.

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.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For 50 years I have specialized in women's issues in psychotherapy. I was the first Feminist Therapist in the Washington, DC metro area. I specialize in women's issues, and have presented on this subject at the Association for Humanistic Psychology as well as the American Psychological Association. I have also given talks all over the United States on Feminist Therapy. I was featured on the front page of the "Outlook" section of The Washington Post on this topic. In addition, I conducted the initial training for the staff of the Rape Crisis Center in the early 1970's. I also taught a class on Women's studies for The George Washington University, and American University. In addition, I gave talks on Feminist Therapy to the Brookings Institute and different colleges and universities. I have written articles for "Off Our Backs" and have chapters in "The Radical Therapist" and "Rough Times". I also organized a Feminist Therapy Conference in Washington, D.C. You are welcome to attend my regular free zoom webinars. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I love working with women, including nonbinary and trans folks. Gender expectations and rules in our society are everywhere. It's fascinating how these rules impact our sense of self, self worth, agency, and outlook on life. I often bring a feminist lens to my work with clients, no matter what topics they're exploring or working through. I also think about other intersections, such as race, ethnicity, class, ability, etc.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have consistently and actively worked to help women identify issues (typically along the lines of aging and perceived societal expectations) that impact the values and beliefs that are central to who they are as people. I subsequently collaborate with them to help them use their strengths to enhance those core values and beliefs, and to manage any negative self concepts associated with their sense of self, with a goal of working towards growth and an enhanced sense of self.

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.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Women often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities while managing expectations related to work, family, relationships, and self-care. Over time, this can contribute to stress, anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or feeling disconnected from one’s own needs. These challenges are often influenced by deeply ingrained patterns at a subconscious level.
My approach to working with women’s issues is individualized and collaborative. Hypnosis provides a supportive space to address concerns such as anxiety, stress, confidence, self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional balance. Each session is tailored to the individual’s goals, experiences, and circumstances, allowing change to occur in a way that feels respectful and empowering.
Clients often seek hypnosis during periods of transition, increased stress, or when long-standing patterns no longer serve them. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that helps clients remain aware and in control while developing greater calm, clarity, and confidence.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help women feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to themselves.
