Women's Issues
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Women's mental health is uniquely shaped by hormonal cycles, relational stress, trauma history, and the invisible load of emotional labor — all of which register deeply in the nervous system.
Neurofeedback addresses these layers neurologically rather than symptom by symptom — retraining the dysregulated arousal patterns underlying anxiety, mood instability, trauma responses, and hormonal sensitivity. Women often describe it as the first intervention that addressed not just how they felt, but how their brain was functioning underneath it all.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women often enter therapy carrying concerns that are deeply personal while also being shaped by larger cultural and systemic expectations. Relationships, caregiving, body image, work, reproductive experiences, aging, safety, emotional labor, identity, and expectations around productivity can intersect in complicated ways.
My feminist and systemic approach creates room to explore your individual experiences while also questioning the messages and expectations surrounding them. Not every struggle needs to be understood as an individual failure or something you simply need to become better at managing.
Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your needs, anger, boundaries, body, relationships, values, and sense of agency. Together, we can explore what you want to keep, what you want to challenge, and what it might look like to define well-being on your own terms.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with women navigating the impacts of patriarchal oppression, gendered trauma, and societal pressures that can affect self-worth, relationships, and emotional well-being. Using a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, I support clients in reclaiming their power, building healthy boundaries, and reconnecting with their inner strength, resilience, and authentic voice. Together, we explore patterns shaped by culture, history, and personal experience, creating space for empowerment, healing, and self-discovery.
