Women's Issues
Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perhaps my most significant specialization is in working with women who present with the Female Athlete Triad--a combination of over-training plus under-nourishing can lead to repetitive injuries. What the triad does not acknowledge is the mental health component--typically the struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, control, and fear of failure. I enjoy helping women connect their thoughts and feelings, examining how they impact eating and exercise behaviors. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating women's health issues.

Psychologist, MPsy, PsyD
Women's issues are ones that are not specific to women, but can be-such as the reality of living in a patriarchy and how that affects well-being. Additionally, as someone who specializes in chronic health issues, women's health is another factor that suffers under a system that typically tends to downplay or dismiss experiences that are valid. Whether there are reproductive health concerns, challenges to identity, or stressors related to systems, I wish to support and improve well-being.

Working to address women's issues in therapy involves a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges and experiences faced by women across various stages of life.

Utilizing feminist therapy principles and evidence-based techniques, I create a safe and supportive space for women to explore their concerns, heal from past traumas, and navigate societal pressures. By empowering women to voice their needs, assert boundaries, and cultivate self-compassion, my specialized expertise aims to facilitate personal growth, empowerment, and resilience in the face of gender-related struggles.

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.
