Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a woman in America in 2024 is not easy. A mentor of mine once said that she did not envy my experience as a woman today. She grew up in a different time, a time when she was expected to be a good mother for her children and a responsible homemaker for her husband. Today, beyond these roles, there is a subtle, quiet undercurrent of expectations including, but by no means limited to, being a “good” wife, sister, friend, and neighbor (what does “good” mean anyway?), a career woman, an impromptu party host with a meticulous home (cook, housekeeper, etc.), and a selfless volunteer in the community, all while maintaining a size 2 figure. How can we possibly manage all this and more? Together we can explore the expectations you have of yourself as well as your place in today's world.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Being a woman carries its own particular weight. The ways you've been diminished, dismissed, sexualized, expected to shrink or perform or endure. The harm that comes not just from individual people but from systems, cultures, and messages absorbed so early they feel like your own thoughts.
I work with women from a trauma-informed, feminist, shame-free perspective — addressing the ways gender-based harm, systemic oppression, and the relentless pressure to be everything for everyone shows up in your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self. I use EMDR, Flash Technique, and approaches that treat the root rather than just the symptoms.
You are not too much. You have just been carrying too much.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with women navigating identity, relationships, motherhood, divorce, life transitions, boundaries, and the tension between caring for others and remaining connected to themselves. Drawing from depth psychology and a relational perspective, therapy can become a place to understand inherited patterns and expectations while developing a more authentic relationship with your own needs, desires, and inner life.

Downey is a southeast Los Angeles County city known as a hub of Latino middle-class life, with deep Mexican-American roots, strong family networks, and a proud civic identity (and NASA-era aerospace history). Mental health needs center on intergenerational family dynamics, work and financial stress, and stigma that still frames therapy as a last resort for many. Rancho Los Amigos' renowned rehabilitation campus anchors regional healthcare, with LA's market and Spanish-language practitioners key to access.
