Melissa Russiano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LISW, CDWF
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of trendy buzz words. There always seems to be an “in word” in my field, the trendy new way to identify a pattern of behavior. People trying to find a popular way to make a mental health concern sound nice. Imposter syndrome is one of those terms. One that you can find all over a web search and one that many individuals use in casual conversations. Like most buzz words, I tend to run the opposite direction and find any other way to explain the pattern. But I cannot find any other word that embodies the phenomenon as clearly, as directly. No other term is as accurate. As women, we tend to feel this in a stronger way since we are juggling so many roles in our lives. Those who struggle with Imposter Syndrome wake up each day wondering if today is the day that they “will be found out.” If today is the day that people realize they have more bark than bite, they aren’t really the rockstar they appear to be, and if their world will start to crumble around them. No matter what type of impostor syndrome you exhibit, beating it starts from you assessing yourself and accepting that you have it. Then, you can move on to discussing it with other people like trusted friends or professionals who can help you deal with it. This way, you are accountable to people who can help you track your progress when you start working on yourself. Feeling like a fraud on any level is emotionally exhausting, physically draining and a cycle that can fuel a slippery slope to compassion fatigue and/or burnout. But, there can be a different path. If the things I have discussed resonate with you, then let’s chat! I have a feeling we would be a great fit to work together in counseling. I will be committed to partnering with you to get you back to the high achiever you are – with realistic expectations of life, self, and those around you.

Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women's Issues: Women, through all the stages of their lives, have issues that are specific to their gender. We have hormonal challenges that can affect us in many different ways. In a male-dominated culture, we can often feel different and sometimes alone. Women need to be in a respected space where they feel safe exploring the ways they feel their gender has affected them.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I love working with women, especially women of color. When working with women, I try to understand both the client's unique experience and the greater societal factors that often impact a woman's mental health. I work with women struggling with many issues including anxiety and depression, parenting, codependency, body image, sexual abuse, and relationship violence. I also work with many high-achieving, successful women who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, and relationship issues.
