Women's Issues
Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I often joke with my clients that being a woman is like playing a game called 'What's Wrong With Me Today?' Between familial and societal expectations, gendered issues, beauty standards, hormone changes, systems that strip us of our rights, our patriarchal society, women against women, it's no wonder we find ourselves anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place for you to explore what you really need in a safe, non-judgmental environment where you are welcome to show up however you want to show up.

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Many systems negatively impact women—especially women of color. As a cisgender woman, my own experiences with systemic oppression inform my work with women to identify these often invisible pressures, understand how they enforce compliance, and explore ways to resist and heal from them both individually and in community.

Pre-Licensed Professional, APCC
I specialize in supporting women as they navigate the unique challenges and transitions that can arise across different stages of life. Whether it involves identity, relationships, self-worth, life transitions, or societal pressures, I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences with honesty and clarity. Together, we work to build confidence, strengthen boundaries, and foster a deeper sense of self, empowering clients to move forward with intention and resilience.

Women's Issues
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Women’s experiences are shaped not only by individual psychology, but also by the roles, expectations, relationships, and institutions surrounding them. Across the lifespan, women may contend with appearance as social currency, pressure to remain agreeable, unequal emotional labor, sexual safety, reproductive choices, motherhood, infertility, betrayal, caregiving, hormonal changes, aging, and the expectation to hold everything together without appearing affected.
Women have also historically had pain, fatigue, hormonal symptoms, and medical concerns minimized, psychologized, or dismissed as emotional instability, a legacy extending from the language of “hysteria” into present-day experiences of delayed diagnosis and inadequate care. Naming these realities does not require blaming or diminishing men; it requires recognizing the conditions that shape women’s relationships with their bodies, needs, anger, ambition, and authority.
Therapy creates room for the conversations women often edit, minimize, or carry privately. The work is neither about rejecting every role nor submitting to roles that require self-abandonment. It is about separating personal distress from what has been socially reinforced, rebuilding trust in one’s perceptions, and deciding how to live with greater agency without losing connection to the people and commitments that genuinely matter.
