Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
I work with women who are having difficulty/stress in their life, due to gender norms/concerns. Women can face a different set of issues/concerns because of discrimination, sexism, and/or gender-based violence. I provide a safe, validating space for women to share their experiences, needs, and issues. I believe women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have been a feminist since I was born, or at least since college. I have worked with women regarding discrimination. While women are clearly the stronger sex, able to be in touch with their intuition and able to bring the magic to life, they are often undervalued. I work with women to see their strengths, their innate wisdom and regain their power.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Many women are taught to hold responsibility quietly and place their needs last. Therapy can be a space where that pattern is gently interrupted. I offer a supportive container to explore identity, transitions, and the expectations placed on you, while helping you build boundaries, confidence, and a deeper sense of permission to take up space in your own life.

Territa Chambers
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC- QS
As women, we juggle the world- from work, kids, relationships, friendships, school, ourselves. We are constantly attempting to make the world, or should I say, our world a better place. However, we pay the price in the long run when we don't prioritize ourselves. It does not matter if its eating issues, body issues, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, intimate relationship issues, ect. All are symptoms of something internally broken that we never addressed.

Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
Many of the women I work with have spent years being competent, reliable, and fine — while parts of them quietly carry the weight of old wounds, impossible standards, and the feeling that their needs come last. I create space for those parts to finally be heard, without performing insight or holding it together for someone else's comfort.

Women’s Issues: Navigating the Systemic & the Self
Reclaiming Agency in a High-Demand World
Being a woman in today’s world often feels like an endless exercise in "managed overwhelm." Between the biological transitions of our bodies and the social constructs that demand we be the primary emotional caretakers, peacekeepers, and high-achievers, many women find themselves in a state of chronic burnout. In my practice, I provide a courageous and curious space to untangle your authentic self from the "shoulds" imposed by society, family, and tradition.
The Architecture of the "Woman’s Burden"
We don’t just look at your internal thoughts; we look at the "system" you are operating within. We work together to address:
The Emotional Labor Deficit: Navigating the exhaustion that comes from being the "Chief Emotional Officer" of your family or workplace, leading to a profound sense of shut down.
Identity & Role Transitions: Supporting you through the "big shifts"—motherhood, the empty nest, career pivots, or menopause—where the old map of your life no longer fits the new terrain.
Internalized Perfectionism: Deconstructing the "inner critic" that demands flawlessness, often fueled by social constructs of power and equity.
A Multidimensional Clinical Path
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate specialized tools to help you reclaim your vitality:
Attachment & Mutuality: We explore your relationships through the lens of Systems Theory, identifying where a lack of mutuality is draining your "social battery" and triggering rejection sensitivity.
EMDR for Gendered Trauma: We use EMDR to process the "stuck" memories of systemic or personal harm—from workplace bullying to reproductive trauma—that keep your nervous system on high alert.
Spiritual Deconstruction: For women in high-control or traditional spiritual systems, I use my Master of Divinity to help you navigate the disillusionment and trauma that often arise when your identity clashes with institutional "rules."
Holding Space for the "Woman as Healer"
I have a "special love" for working with female therapists, pastors, and leaders. When you are the one holding the world together, who holds you? I provide a confidential, peer-level sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" mask and be a human who is cared for.

Claire Robinson-Scalzi
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA, NCC
Is it ever really just "women's issues"? No! It's about the systems we live in that expect us to show up in ways that are unreasonable. I'm here to support you in working through whatever might be going on in your life. And yes, trans women are welcome here.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Women are often expected to carry a lot—and carry it well. To be accommodating but assertive, successful but not “too much,” nurturing but self-sufficient. These expectations don’t just exist externally—they get internalized, shaping how you see yourself, what you allow, and how much space you feel permitted to take up. Add in experiences like burnout, identity shifts, relationship dynamics, reproductive health, or navigating systems that weren’t designed with you in mind, and it can become a lot to hold without support.
At Nour Counseling, we take a deeper, more honest approach. We don’t look at your experiences in isolation—we look at how all of your identities intersect and compound your experience. The reality is, you’re not just navigating gender. You may also be navigating race, culture, religion, neurodivergence, sexuality, or other identities that shape how you’re perceived, what’s expected of you, and what you have access to. Those layers matter—and they can make life feel more complex, more pressured, and at times, more isolating.
We work with you to unpack these dynamics so you’re not carrying them as personal shortcomings. From there, we actively support you in building clarity, boundaries, and a stronger sense of self that isn’t defined by expectation. This might include navigating life transitions, relationships, career dynamics, or reconnecting with your own needs and values. We also center the question of belonging—helping you explore where you feel it, where you’ve been disconnected from it, and how to move toward spaces where you don’t have to shrink or overextend to be accepted. This is about helping you live in a way that feels more aligned, more supported, and more your own.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perhaps my most significant specialization is in working with women who present with the Female Athlete Triad--a combination of over-training plus under-nourishing can lead to repetitive injuries. What the triad does not acknowledge is the mental health component--typically the struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, control, and fear of failure. I enjoy helping women connect their thoughts and feelings, examining how they impact eating and exercise behaviors. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating women's health issues.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Women often carry invisible loads—balancing relationships, career, caregiving, and personal identity while navigating societal expectations and life transitions. Whether you’re facing burnout, anxiety, body image struggles, reproductive challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can offer space to be seen, heard, and supported. I help women explore their experiences, set boundaries, heal from past wounds, and reconnect with their strength and voice. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Working with women has been a passion for me since I began my training as a psychologist! A broad theme I see in women is carrying the heavy weight of managing their lives, careers, and families (either family of creation of family of origin). Often, this results in women being over-burdened, stressed, and at times lose touch with their own needs and desires. I want to empower women to make themselves a priority and give space for their own needs and wants in life.

Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
Many of the women I work with are remarkably brilliant, yet they often struggle to own that brilliance while organizing their lives around everyone else's needs. This can lead to an exhausting cycle of swinging between anger, depression, and silence, usually driven by a critical inner voice that questions your right to take up space. I am deeply interested in women's creativity and vulnerability, helping you reclaim the desires and expressions you may have hushed to keep the peace. We work on reconnecting with your own voice and finding the laughter that returns when you stop self-interrupting and finally allow yourself to be tired or uncomfortable without losing your sense of worth. This shift allows confidence and genuine presence to become the foundation of how you show up in your life and your relationships.

Mathews Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMFT, LPC
There are times where women want to feel heard and that they matter. There could be specific issues you are facing and need to feel like you're not alone. Our therapists start by making sure you are heard and understood. Because we know that then you will be able to take the steps towards healing. Therapy means you do not have to walk that burdensome path alone. Instead, your therapist is there to help work through the burden you are carrying in a meaningful way. Life stressors can be difficult but therapy helps you find the freedom to safely express those thoughts, feelings, and desires and move toward a life you want.

Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — once the home of R.J. Reynolds — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
