Women's Issues
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Women often navigate complex pressures related to identity, relationships, caregiving, career, body image, and societal expectations. I provide therapy grounded in attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models to explore how early relational experiences and cultural messages shape self-worth and emotional patterns.
Together, we work with parts that may feel over-responsible, self-critical, invisible, or overwhelmed. Therapy supports boundary clarity, emotional regulation, secure attachment, and a stronger sense of voice and agency.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for women navigating identity, burnout, caregiving, relationships, life transitions, body changes, reproductive experiences, chronic illness, disability, leadership, self-worth, and the visible and invisible expectations placed upon women across personal, professional, societal, vocational, educational, relational, cultural, and family systems.
This work recognizes that women's experiences do not occur in isolation. They are shaped by the intersections of gender, race, culture, neurodivergence, disability, sexuality, spirituality, socioeconomic realities, family roles, community, and lived experience. Particular attention is given to the ways societal expectations, caregiving demands, perfectionism, people-pleasing, masking, emotional labor, and internalized messages about worth, productivity, appearance, sacrifice, and success can influence wellbeing, identity, relationships, and connection with self.
Exploration may include the impact of hormones and hormonal transitions across the lifespan, including menstruation, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, perimenopause, menopause, fertility challenges, reproductive decision-making, and the often-overlooked ways hormones can interact with neurodivergence, sensory experiences, executive functioning, emotional regulation, energy capacity, and nervous system functioning.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, parts work, neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, attachment-focused approaches, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on helping you adapt to unrealistic expectations, this work invites curiosity about which expectations genuinely align with your values and which may no longer serve you. Attention is given to both the external systems and internalized narratives that shape how you relate to yourself, your body, your needs, your ambitions, and your place in the world.
Therapy offers space to reconnect with your voice, honor your needs, deepen self-trust, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself. The goal is not simply to function better within systems that may contribute to exhaustion or disconnection, but to create a life that feels more sustainable, authentic, embodied, and aligned with your values, capacity, relationships, and wellbeing.
