Women's Issues
Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women's issues involve specific life experiences that are shaped by gender. Biological, social, and cultural factors can impact a woman's overall health and well-being. Difficulties with life transitions, body acceptance, and societal pressures can be addressed with broader work on self esteem and identity.

Women's Issues
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, confidants, innovators, storytellers, trailblazers. There is no shortage of roles that women take on throughout life. These roles are often embraced with immeasurable heart and grit and little-to-no complaint. And yet, struggle exists. You may be hesitant to discuss these issues, or you may feel like screaming them from the rooftops. Either way, I’d love to hear them. Too often, women carry shame, guilt, and self-criticism on top of the day-to-day stress of juggling it all. From difficulties surrounding career, pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood to the lasting effects of abuse and interpersonal trauma, therapy can provide a much-needed space to process these experiences. I am deeply passionate about women’s advocacy and empowerment and have trained extensively in women’s mental health.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a woman in this day and age can bring so many different layers of challenge and difficulty. In our work together, we can walk through the different issues that you are facing while deepening insight into the strategies you've developed throughout your life to adapt to life's demands. While these strategies were often necessary in the moment, they sometimes just don't work so well for us as time goes on or as the situation changes. Our sessions focus on building insight into your patterns, the messages/beliefs you may hold about yourself and others, and strategies to help you take the steps that are meaningful to you.

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.
