Women's Issues
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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Women’s issues often emerge at the intersection of identity, relationships, power, and expectation, including pressures around caretaking, achievement, body image, sexuality, and self-worth. I work with women navigating life transitions, relational patterns, and internalized roles that have required them to minimize their needs or overfunction for others. Therapy focuses on restoring agency, strengthening boundaries, and supporting choices that are self directed rather than driven by obligation or guilt.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
In our current patriarchal society, there are very few models for how to be a strong, feminine woman. With a lack of obvious models and archetypes to draw from, women often either take on the masculine hero's journey as their own or feel disempowered and weak. By drawing upon myths and archetypes, we can explore the heroine's journey of feminine power and apply it to the lived realities of life in areas such as motherhood, career, relationships, marriage, boundaries, and purpose.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Women navigate a unique set of pressures, expectations, and life experiences, from reproductive health and identity shifts to relationships, career, and the quiet weight of doing it all. I work with women across all stages of life, holding space for the full complexity of what it means to be a woman today, without judgment and without telling you how you should feel about any of it.

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, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.

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.
