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.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting women through various challenges they face in different stages of life. Whether it's dealing with life transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, managing stress, improving self-esteem, addressing relationship dynamics, or navigating societal pressures, my goal is to empower women to understand and embrace their unique experiences. I use evidence-based therapies such as CBT and mindfulness to help women build resilience, address emotional struggles, and develop healthier coping strategies. I create a compassionate, safe space where women can explore their feelings, build confidence, and work toward achieving personal growth and well-being.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Women today are often expected to effortlessly balance a multitude of roles, frequently leading to chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, and losing touch with their own needs. I specialize in helping women navigate the unique emotional, societal, and physiological challenges they face across the lifespan—including identity shifts, life transitions, and relational stressors. My approach blends the structured, actionable strategies of CBT and DBT to help you manage daily stress, set firm boundaries, and quiet your inner critic. Simultaneously, we use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy to unpack generational expectations and rewrite the stories that dictate your worth, while advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting safely process deeper relational or childhood trauma. Together, we will work to reclaim your voice, honor your boundaries, and build a life that feels authentic and deeply fulfilling to you.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
