Women's Issues
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I work with high functioning professional women who perform in multiple roles at work and at home, face corporate misogyny or age bias towards women, shoulder a large part of the parenting, relationship, household, social and financial responsibilities and feel pressure to hold everything together. Women are often pushed to meet impossible expectations, and are looked down upon for showing signs of strain. Therapy can support you in establishing boundaries, taking criticism less personally, and maintaining your own calmness, self-care and sense of self-worth, regardless of the pressure you're under. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective evidence based techniques that build resilience under pressure, free you from self-sabotaging reactivity, and help you to keep access to your calm, best-self.

Sage Grazer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in supporting women through the unique pressures and transitions they often face including career stress, burnout, relationship dynamics, boundary-setting, life stage changes, and evolving identity. Many of the women I work with are high-achieving and capable, yet feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly struggling with self-doubt and perfectionism. In our work together, we explore the internal and external expectations shaping your experience while building confidence, self-trust, and practical tools for navigating stress, relationships, and major life decisions in a way that feels aligned and empowering.

Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
I love working with women - navigating assertiveness, boundary setting, and learning to take up space. In addition, I love perinatal work - working with women who are pregnant, want to be pregnant, experiencing perinatal or postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, or psychosis. You are not alone and do not have to do it without support.

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.

Cynthia Cerrato
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified in Holistic Integrative Health
I specialize in addressing womxn’s issues through an inclusive lens that centers the experiences of Black and Indigenous womxn.

I focus on providing a safe and supportive space where Black and Indigenous womxn can explore their lived experiences and navigate the complexities of their identities. Understanding the intersection of gender, race, and culture is vital in my joy centered approach, allowing me to tailor my therapeutic practices to honor and validate each individual's unique narrative.

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.

I approach my work through a lens of intersectional feminism and recognize the importance of honoring and exploring the unique issues women face. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand how their lived experience impacts their emotional wellbeing and sense of self, as well as how this experience can be harnessed as a strength as they move toward healing.

Erin Hayden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply attuned to others — yet struggle to extend that same care toward themselves. We might explore questions around identity, ambition, relationships, boundaries, burnout, or the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Therapy can be a space to untangle expectations and build a life that feels more intentional and aligned with your values.

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 Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
