Women's Issues
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Women struggle with so many different challenges that are not reflective of who they are but more so of the circumstances they are faced with. We also tend to judge ourselves more and are our toughest critics. I can help you find who you are today or who you want to be today. I love doing this exercise of self-discovery to help you find your own mission statement or what is in your "pot of gold" at the end our your rainbow. With this new information we can embark on a journey that helps you live life more authentically and purposefully. This is what will ultimately lead to your best life!

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Many women struggle with trying to be all things to all people. Maintaining a career, raising children, and caring for elderly parents can often be issues that they face. Setting boundaries and self-care are some of the interventions that are explored in counseling.

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.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my practice, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals grappling with a wide spectrum of women's issues. Drawing from years of experience and a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding these challenges, my approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and a focus on tailored solutions.
Recognizing that every woman's journey is unique, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and experiences openly. Whether it's addressing mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, helping clients navigate the complexities of body image and self-esteem, or providing support to survivors of trauma and abuse, I approach each case with sensitivity and a client-centered focus.
In the realm of relationships, I work closely with individuals to foster healthier dynamics, improve communication, and build resilience. Women often face unique workplace stressors, and I offer strategies for managing career-related challenges, gender disparities, and the delicate balance between professional and personal life.
Reproductive health, a significant aspect of women's well-being, is another area of expertise. I provide guidance and support during transitions such as fertility concerns, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, ensuring that clients have the resources and coping strategies they need.
I am mindful of the intersectionality of women's issues, recognizing that identity, culture, and background play pivotal roles in shaping one's experiences. My therapy approach is culturally sensitive and inclusive, taking into account the diverse backgrounds and identities of my clients.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower women to overcome the obstacles they face, fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and personal growth. Through a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, mind-body work, and a strengths-based approach, I strive to help my clients live fulfilling lives and navigate the unique challenges and opportunities that come their way.
