Women's Issues
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
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.

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.

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.

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.
