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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with women navigating identity, relationships, motherhood, divorce, life transitions, boundaries, and the tension between caring for others and remaining connected to themselves. Drawing from depth psychology and a relational perspective, therapy can become a place to understand inherited patterns and expectations while developing a more authentic relationship with your own needs, desires, and inner life.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I work with clients of all genders from a feminist perspective, which means that we consider the ways in which rigid gender roles and expectations are harmful to everyone. But this is particularly true for women and trans and nonbinary people. Women and female-socialized people are taught to be empathic caretakers, but we forget to make sure to take care of ourselves, and often find that others don't take care of us. We're told we can "have it all" but we're not given supports that make "it all" sustainable or even, perhaps, desirable. So often, if we feel broken, the reality of the situation is that we're perfectly functional, but broken systems are failing us. My feminism is trans-inclusive and conscious of intersectionality. In addition to supporting people who are struggling with these broader issues, I am also a certified perinatal mental health professional.
I bring both my professional background and my lived experience to supporting people with uteruses who are coping with infertility or fertility treatments, pregnancy (including high-risk pregnancy), and the postpartum transition, ranging from identity questions and baby blues to postpartum depression and anxiety. If you feel like you could use some support in the monumental task of "existing while female," reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Whether you are trying to navigate the world of dating and finding yourself in the same upsetting patterns, navigating anxiety and/or depression, struggling with building friendship and community, struggling with job applications and interviews, battling imposter syndrome at work, experiencing the often silent and heavy grief of miscarriage, frustrated in your relationship, struggling with mom guilt/perfectionism or navigating peri/menopause, I support women with all of the issues that we experience as women across the lifespan.

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.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Women often carry multiple roles, responsibilities, and expectations while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, body image, caregiving stress, or major life transitions. Cultural and family expectations may make it difficult to express personal needs, establish boundaries, or prioritize emotional well-being.
I provide a compassionate, empowering space where women can explore their experiences without judgment, reconnect with their authentic voices, and strengthen their sense of self. Together, we work toward healing emotional wounds, developing healthier relationships, establishing meaningful boundaries, and creating a life guided by confidence, self-respect, and personal choice.
