Women's Issues
Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Women may experience emotional challenges related to identity, relationships, career pressures, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and life transitions. These experiences can contribute to anxiety, depression, burnout, and feelings of overwhelm.
As an LCSW trained in EMDR and certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I provide trauma-informed therapy that helps women process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and approach challenges with greater insight and self-trust.

Women's Issues
Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
Some challenges in life come not only from our own personalities, experiences and dispositions, but but from beliefs and practices in our society as a whole. Learning to be more empowered and centered in dealing with those challenges can minimize the extent to which we feel victimized by them. In addition the many images and roles, sometimes contradictory that women are asked to play in our culture can also create stress and inner and outer conflicts to learn to negotiate.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Women's lives include navigating sensitive and challenging transitions involving identity, marriage & partnership, motherhood, caregiving, abusive relationships, ageism, health, and feelings of invisibility and marginalizing. Women's complexities also include hormone health, grief and loss, perimenopause and menopause, and changing life roles.
Therapy honors a woman's unique transitions through all stages of development. Our work together offers a supportive space to voice everything necessary to reconnect with your authentic self. It helps you find your way with these experiences while fostering compassion, self-understanding, resilience, self-forgiveness, and a deeper connection with yourself through every stage of life.

Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women face a unique set of pressures and barriers in our society. I first became passionate about women's issues when taking Women's Studies classes in college. Since then, I have continued to study feminist theory and have adopted that lens into my work with clients.
