Women's Issues
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Women move through many seasons of life—college, career, marriage, motherhood, menopause, and beyond—and each stage brings its own joys and challenges. You may find yourself redefining your identity, balancing competing roles, or adjusting to unexpected changes. In therapy, you’ll have a supportive space to process these transitions, reconnect with yourself, and find clarity and strength for what’s next. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel grounded, empowered, and at peace with the person you’re becoming.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a woman and a woman of color, our identity is central to our lived experience. We experience things a worldview that has often been imparted to us but is also affected by gender violence, sexism, and stereotypes. I am not here to assume what your experience has been. Even the term "women's issues" is simply a tip of an iceberg. Let's talk about it.

Women's Issues
Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Hormonal transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause/menopause can profoundly impact a woman’s nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and sense of self. Anxiety, panic, irritability, mood swings, brain fog, exhaustion, or feeling unlike yourself are common during these seasons—not because something is “wrong,” but because your body and brain are adapting to immense internal change while often carrying invisible expectations to keep functioning as usual.
Through integrative somatic therapy, I support women in understanding and working with these shifts rather than pushing through them. Our work focuses on restoring nervous system balance, developing greater flexibility, and increasing capacity for rest, regulation, and self-trust. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect with your strengths and clarify what you need in this season. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, honoring your body’s wisdom, and creating steadiness and resilience in this new chapter of life.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.

Women's Issues
Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women’s experiences are often shaped by complex layers of early relationships, internalized expectations, and relational patterns that influence identity, self-worth, and connection. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, I have extensive experience supporting women across life stages. My work draws on private practice, a full-time clinical internship at a transitional housing program for formerly incarcerated women, and a background in women’s studies, allowing me to approach each woman’s experience with understanding, empathy, and attention to both emotional and relational well-being. In our work, we explore these dynamics in a supportive, reflective space, attending to both conscious feelings and the unconscious processes that may influence us. Approached with curiosity and respect, this work can foster deeper self-understanding, emotional integration, and a stronger sense of agency in your life.

Psychologist, PhD
I provide a supportive and empowering space for women to explore their unique challenges and experiences. My approach used evidence-based techniques, tackling topics such as gender-based discrimination, work-life balance, body image, and relationships. Through our collaborative work, women gain insights into societal pressures, develop stronger self-advocacy skills, and cultivate a more authentic sense of self, enabling them to navigate their personal and professional lives with increased confidence and empowerment.

Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
In today’s society there are so many ways women are undermined and it can be difficult navigating the narratives placed upon women. You may be questioning your boundaries in the search for a partner, you may find yourself struggling with the inconsistent messaging the world iterates or just learning how to be grounded in your identity. I try my best to provide a welcoming space for women to let their guards down and feel comfortable in a world that makes that seem impossible.
