Women's Issues
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Women often navigate a complicated mix of expectations around relationships, caregiving, sexuality, appearance, achievement, aging, and who they are “supposed” to be. I help women explore these pressures alongside concerns related to identity, self-esteem, body image, intimacy, relationships, trauma, and major life transitions. Therapy offers space to separate your own wants and values from the roles and expectations you’ve inherited, strengthen your voice and boundaries, and build a life that feels increasingly like your own.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Many women carry the weight of expectations from relationships, culture, and internalized beliefs about who they “should” be. In therapy, we will explore these influences and how they shape your sense of self, boundaries, and voice. I will help you develop greater freedom, authenticity, and compassionate connection to yourself and your body.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’ve spent years showing up, taking care of others, and getting things done—even when it meant setting your own needs aside. But lately, something feels off. Maybe you’re feeling more irritable, foggy, anxious, or exhausted than usual. Your body and mind are shifting, and the strategies that once helped no longer seem to work. Whether you're navigating identity changes, caregiving fatigue, high-functioning burnout, or the often-disorienting symptoms of perimenopause, you deserve support that sees the full picture.
I work with women, femmes, and gender-expansive adults who are carrying a lot—from caretaking and career demands to invisible labor and internalized expectations. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and deeply capable—and still find themselves feeling burned out, anxious, over-functioning, and disconnected from themselves. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
In therapy, we’ll explore the complex emotional landscape of midlife—where physical, emotional, and existential shifts converge. This may include hormonal changes, mood swings, grief, rage, shifting roles, and the pressure to “age gracefully” in a culture that minimizes your pain. These experiences are often compounded by neurodivergence, trauma, or societal pressures around gender, body, and productivity.
This is a space to make sense of what you’re experiencing—not as a personal failing, but as a signal that something deeper needs tending. Here, you have permission to be messy, complex, and real. Together, we’ll examine how early relational dynamics, internalized expectations, overlooked neurodivergence, and systemic messages about womanhood shape how you show up for others—and for yourself. We’ll get clear on what’s shifting, what still matters, and what needs to change so you can show up more fully for you.
With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt and depletion toward clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of agency. Whether you’re unlearning old patterns, adjusting to hormonal shifts, or simply craving a space to rest and be real, I’m here. We’ll also work toward a version of self-care that isn’t performative—but deeply nourishing and sustainable.

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.
