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.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
As women, we’re often expected to carry so much—quietly. You might feel like you’re always there for others, but struggling to show up for yourself. Whether you're navigating burnout, relationship struggles, motherhood, identity, or the pressure to be “everything,” you deserve space to breathe, be heard, and reconnect with your own needs.

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.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in women's issues.
Much of what women bring to therapy has been shaped by expectations absorbed long before there was any chance to evaluate them: that you will be accommodating, that anger is unbecoming, that your needs come after everyone else's, that your worth is bound up in how you look or how much you carry. The result is often exhaustion, resentment with nowhere to go, and a sense of being disconnected from what you actually want.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we go past coping with the load and into what has made it so difficult to set down. These expectations carry an unconscious logic worth understanding, and they usually have both personal and cultural roots. In sessions we sort out which of your obligations are genuinely yours and which were handed to you.
If you have lost track of your own desires somewhere in the middle of everyone else's, I would be glad to talk.
