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.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I hold dear the value and purpose of being a woman. It is a unique and often misunderstood experience. I want to help women embrace their special place in the home, the community and the world. Being a woman can be so hard and daunting at times. Stress, pressure to perform, feeling inadequate and isolated at times, coming to therapy and having individual attention set on these experiences is extremely beneficial. As a woman I am aligned with a woman's experience and needs in this world.
