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.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a millennial woman comes with unique struggles. While it is a valuable time of self discovery, it is also a time of uncertainty, doubts, and increased responsibility. Discovering who you are in a world that constantly projects it's own limitations and expectations onto you isn't easy! Under the weight of societal pressures we start to question, is this as good as it gets? Are my wants, needs, and desires reasonable? Am I the woman I want to be? Sifting through these questions can feel overwhelming and you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is a place you can come, unscripted and raw. It's an intimate space and relationship that helps foster self awareness, which, in turn, inspires confidence and clarity in our values, desires, and boundaries.
