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.

Tonya Wells
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - Clinical
In therapy with me, you will be seen, heard, and respected with strong attention paid to how your identity as a woman has shaped you. I have significant expertise and training around feminist theory, which will inform our approach. Together, we will reflect on the social, cultural, and political factors affecting you as a woman, focusing on building more skills to help you recognize and address issues like bias and discrimination. The therapist/client relationship will be egalitarian in nature.

Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support women navigating the unique emotional challenges that can arise throughout different stages of life. Experiences related to relationships, motherhood, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum changes, caregiving, chronic stress, body image, identity shifts, and past trauma can significantly impact you and your mental health. EMDR can help clients process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and address the negative beliefs that may keep them feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with women who are carrying a lot in their inner and relational lives, often alongside demanding careers. Many are navigating dating, long‑term partnerships, or separation; complex family dynamics; and the expectations placed on them at work and at home. You may be trying to sort out what you want in relationships, noticing patterns you don’t want to keep repeating, or feeling the strain of ongoing stress and conflict. Some women I work with are also living with ADHD and want support in how it affects their daily life, work, and relationships. I also see a smaller number of women who are parenting and facing similar questions in the context of family life.
In our work together, we make room for your experience, not just your responsibilities. We look at how expectations, gendered roles, stress, and relationship dynamics are affecting your mood, body, and sense of self, and we explore ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more sustainable and truthful for you. This is a confidential space where you do not have to hold it all together, and where your needs and limits are allowed to matter.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I feel it is different speaking to a male therapist about women's issues, specifically in that you then have to explain yourself more deeply. I cannot simply say "yes, I get it." By sharing the female experience aloud, it forces us to examine the difficulties and complexities from a different lens. I can offer more traditionally "masculine" viewpoints that can shift the way you approach or think about certain problems. So many women struggle with relationships with men in their life (Fathers, partners), that having a different type of open and supportive conversation with a man can be transformative. And, when there is distress in those relationships, we can role play and practice how the communication could go differently next time.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

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.
