Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LAADC-CA, M-RAS, NCPM, DV VICTIM ADVOCATE
Women wear many hats, and at times, it can be overwhelming. Self-care gets lost in the shuffle, while meeting the needs of everyone else becomes routine. You don't have to do it all. Let's find that healthy balance together.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I provide a nurturing and respectful space for women navigating the unique challenges and transitions that can arise throughout their lives. With a holistic approach that includes Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I support women in exploring and addressing issues such as relationship dynamics, self-esteem, career pressures, motherhood, and life transitions. Mindfulness helps cultivate a present-moment awareness and acceptance, EFT offers a method for managing emotional stress, IFS allows for an exploration of internal parts and their roles, CBT challenges unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and Role-Playing enhances coping skills in real-life scenarios. My role is to guide and empower women through these experiences, providing tools and insights to foster resilience, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we work towards not only resolving immediate concerns but also building a foundation for lasting well-being and fulfillment.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a millennial woman comes with unique struggles. While it is a valuable time of self discovery, it is also a time of uncertainty, doubts, and increased responsibility. Discovering who you are in a world that constantly projects it's own limitations and expectations onto you isn't easy! Under the weight of societal pressures we start to question, is this as good as it gets? Are my wants, needs, and desires reasonable? Am I the woman I want to be? Sifting through these questions can feel overwhelming and you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is a place you can come, unscripted and raw. It's an intimate space and relationship that helps foster self awareness, which, in turn, inspires confidence and clarity in our values, desires, and boundaries. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
There is no way to ignore and live untouched by the system of male supremacy, despite the progress we've made over the past decades. I help women begin to understand how the many problems and challenges they've faced, believing them to be personal and psychological, have been fundamentally political ramifications of the male supremacist system we all endure. As a feminist prosocial psychologist, I support women raise their consciousness of the effects of the broader system and help them develop the strength and confidence they need to pursue the life they've wanted.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In the intimate journey of healing and self-discovery, my practice stands as a sanctuary for women confronting the multifaceted dimensions of the mother wound and its profound impact on their sense of self and relational dynamics. This nuanced approach extends beyond the immediate challenges of motherhood, delving deep into the legacy of maternal relationships that shape our experiences as women—from feelings of inadequacy and unresolved anger to the profound yearning for a nurturing connection that was absent.
Acknowledging the intricate ways in which the mother wound intertwines with the stages of womanhood, I provide a compassionate, supportive space for women at all points of their life journey. Whether grappling with the emotional aftermath of reproductive choices, such as abortions or pregnancy terminations, navigating the complexities of becoming a mother, or seeking to heal from painful childhoods and ancestral traumas, my practice is dedicated to fostering healing, empowerment, and self-reclamation.
Central to this work is the exploration of the mother wound, aiming to break the cycles of pain and misunderstanding that bind us. Through this lens, we address not just the personal narratives of hurt and longing but also the broader societal expectations and stigmas that influence our self-perception and relationships. My goal is to guide women through this deeply transformative process, offering insights and therapeutic interventions that illuminate the path to healing, self-acceptance, and the ability to form healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
This holistic, empathetic approach is designed to support women in reclaiming their power, voice, and worth, enabling them to move forward with a renewed sense of wholeness and authenticity. Here, in a space where the unspoken and unseen are brought to light, the journey toward healing the mother wound becomes a pivotal step in embracing a liberated, empowered sense of self.

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.
