Women's Issues
Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women often find themselves balancing competing demands, caring for others while trying to meet their own needs, or navigating changes in identity and relationships. You may be experiencing the mental load of family responsibilities, struggling to set boundaries, questioning expectations you've internalized, or adjusting to changes associated with pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore these experiences, better understand your emotions and needs, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of identity so you can build a life that feels more balanced and aligned with your values.

Through therapy, education, and empowerment-focused approaches, we work together to explore these issues, develop coping strategies, and promote personal growth and well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate and overcome the challenges they face, ultimately fostering a sense of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives.

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.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Women often carry unique emotional, relational, and societal pressures that can impact identity, self-worth, and overall well-being. I support clients in exploring challenges related to gender expectations, boundaries, caregiving roles, life transitions, and self-advocacy. In our work together, we create space to process these experiences, strengthen self-understanding, and challenge patterns that may feel limiting or overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and connected to your own needs and voice, while navigating life in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to who you are.

Women's Issues
Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with women navigating the specific pressures of doing everything well: career, relationships, family expectations, and often the added weight of first-generation or bicultural identity. That can mean untangling internalized expectations, setting boundaries that feel unfamiliar, or grieving the gap between the life you built and the life you thought you'd have.
