Inessa Freylekhman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I support women navigating relationship challenges, caregiving demands, motherhood, identity shifts, and the pressure to meet everyone else’s needs. Therapy offers space to hear your own voice, explore longstanding expectations, and reconnect with what matters to you. Together, we work toward stronger boundaries, greater self-compassion, and choices that honor the person you are becoming.

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.

Mary Ramatici
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
Women's issues can look different for every client, whether it's navigating identity, relationships, self-worth, life transitions, or the unique pressures that come with being a woman in today's world. I understand the complexities of being a woman and all the roles we're asked to balance, whether that's caring for others, building a career, maintaining relationships, or simply figuring out who you are outside of what everyone else needs from you. I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences honestly, so you can better understand yourself and move forward feeling empowered and more at peace with who you are.

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women and men have different biological make-ups. So, it would make sense that they have different psychological tendencies as well. They also go through different bodily changes throughout their lives, and are treated differently in society. By elucidating the ways in which women differ from men biologically and psychologically, we can start to understand and address issues unique to women.

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.

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!
