Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
At the root of why many women seek therapy is often the crushing weight of others' expectations and a feeling of "not good enough." This shows up in all facets of life from relationship and friendship dynamics, caregiving and parenting roles, career and workplace issues, body image, healthcare, finances, fertility and pregnancy, and various forms of societal oppression and discrimination. I help women explore their experiences and needs and untangle themselves from harmful conditioning and messaging to live more authentic lives, based on their values.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Women's issues are problems or challenges that specifically affect women. These can include things like unfair treatment because of gender, health concerns like pregnancy, or pressure from society to act a certain way because of gender. For example, a woman who struggles with addiction might face judgment or find it hard to get help because people see addiction differently for men and women. In relationships, women might deal with issues like power struggles or even abuse. And these issues can make women feel really sad or anxious, especially if they feel like they don't have control over their lives because of how society sees them.
To help someone with women's issues, I'd give them a safe place to talk about what's going on. Encouraging them to stand up for themselves, connecting them with support groups or counseling, and helping them deal with tough situations can all make a big difference. Also, we will address the things that might be causing their problems, like past traumas or low self-esteem, can help them feel better and more in control.

Sarah Safron-Chiu
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Areas of specialization in working with women (and at times with men as well) include addressing power differentials and dynamics that can also be influenced by cultural norms. I also have years of experience working with women and families impacted by infertility as well as postpartum and perinatal depression.
