Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Women's mental health is uniquely shaped by hormonal cycles, relational stress, trauma history, and the invisible load of emotional labor — all of which register deeply in the nervous system.
Neurofeedback addresses these layers neurologically rather than symptom by symptom — retraining the dysregulated arousal patterns underlying anxiety, mood instability, trauma responses, and hormonal sensitivity. Women often describe it as the first intervention that addressed not just how they felt, but how their brain was functioning underneath it all.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women often enter therapy carrying concerns that are deeply personal while also being shaped by larger cultural and systemic expectations. Relationships, caregiving, body image, work, reproductive experiences, aging, safety, emotional labor, identity, and expectations around productivity can intersect in complicated ways.
My feminist and systemic approach creates room to explore your individual experiences while also questioning the messages and expectations surrounding them. Not every struggle needs to be understood as an individual failure or something you simply need to become better at managing.
Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your needs, anger, boundaries, body, relationships, values, and sense of agency. Together, we can explore what you want to keep, what you want to challenge, and what it might look like to define well-being on your own terms.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my favorite aspects to work with clients on is women's empowerment. I have years of experience working with young and middle-aged women in exploring who they are, who they want to be, and how to be the best versions of themselves. Whether you are struggling with concerns in social, personal, work, or every day life stressors, we can tailor our therapy sessions to meet your specific needs. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your concerns so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!
