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.

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women’s experiences are often shaped by complex layers of early relationships, internalized expectations, and relational patterns that influence identity, self-worth, and connection. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, I have extensive experience supporting women across life stages. My work draws on private practice, a full-time clinical internship at a transitional housing program for formerly incarcerated women, and a background in women’s studies, allowing me to approach each woman’s experience with understanding, empathy, and attention to both emotional and relational well-being. In our work, we explore these dynamics in a supportive, reflective space, attending to both conscious feelings and the unconscious processes that may influence us. Approached with curiosity and respect, this work can foster deeper self-understanding, emotional integration, and a stronger sense of agency in your life.

Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
As women, we are often invalidated or minimized by society. Whether that's your pain (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual), your ideas, or your experiences, we are often told we don't have the right to feel what we feel, or that what we feel is not real. We often carry multiple roles in our lives, and are often asked to give (and give, and give) while also being taught not to ask for much in return. We feel unseen in our struggles, and are expected just to carry on. I specialize in creating a safe, validating space for women to process the complexity of their experiences.

Psychologist, PhD
Being a woman is extraordinary. It is also, if we are being honest, exhausting in ways that do not always get acknowledged. The pressure to be everything to everyone. The invisible labor that never makes it onto anyone's radar. The way we are socialized to shrink, to apologize, to put ourselves last and call it strength. And layered underneath all of that, the very real and unique experiences that shape us as women, our bodies, our relationships, our roles, our seasons of life, and sometimes our wounds.
At CCW International, women are not just a specialty. They are the heart of why this practice exists.
Our founder started this practice to serve women navigating some of life's hardest chapters, beginning with women diagnosed with breast cancer who needed more than clinical treatment. They needed someone who understood the full weight of what they were carrying. That commitment to seeing and honoring the whole woman has never wavered.
We work with women across every season of life, from young adults finding their footing to seasoned professionals redefining what comes next. We address the issues that are uniquely ours, identity, self-worth, relationships, reproductive health, trauma, caregiving, grief, and the quiet but persistent feeling that you have been taking care of everyone else for so long you have forgotten how to take care of yourself.
You have spent enough time being strong for everyone else. This is your space to just be human.
We are here for you, all of you.
