Yael Sherne, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My practice helps women find their inner voice, strength and agency. Many of my clients are mothers who are experiencing depression or anxiety, relationship challenges, and struggling with the demands that society places upon them - the expectation that they should do it all, and do it all perfectly. Together we will work to find the intuitive guidance and authentic self that lies within, the self that knows you alone are enough.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I provide a nurturing and respectful space for women navigating the unique challenges and transitions that can arise throughout their lives. With a holistic approach that includes Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I support women in exploring and addressing issues such as relationship dynamics, self-esteem, career pressures, motherhood, and life transitions. Mindfulness helps cultivate a present-moment awareness and acceptance, EFT offers a method for managing emotional stress, IFS allows for an exploration of internal parts and their roles, CBT challenges unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and Role-Playing enhances coping skills in real-life scenarios. My role is to guide and empower women through these experiences, providing tools and insights to foster resilience, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we work towards not only resolving immediate concerns but also building a foundation for lasting well-being and fulfillment.

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.
