Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For 50 years I have specialized in women's issues in psychotherapy. I was the first Feminist Therapist in the Washington, DC metro area. I specialize in women's issues, and have presented on this subject at the Association for Humanistic Psychology as well as the American Psychological Association. I have also given talks all over the United States on Feminist Therapy. I was featured on the front page of the "Outlook" section of The Washington Post on this topic. In addition, I conducted the initial training for the staff of the Rape Crisis Center in the early 1970's. I also taught a class on Women's studies for The George Washington University, and American University. In addition, I gave talks on Feminist Therapy to the Brookings Institute and different colleges and universities. I have written articles for "Off Our Backs" and have chapters in "The Radical Therapist" and "Rough Times". I also organized a Feminist Therapy Conference in Washington, D.C. You are welcome to attend my regular free zoom webinars. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
When treating women's issues, creating a safe and empathetic space for women to explore their unique experiences and concerns without judgment is essential in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques can be employed to address specific cognitive distortions or negative thought patterns related to women's issues, such as imposter syndrome or body image concerns. Integrative therapy may incorporate elements of DBT, internal family systems, and somatic therapy to holistically address women's issues, considering the interplay of psychological, interpersonal, and cultural factors in the client's life.

Stacy Brumage
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCP, LCPC
Women often carry complex expectations around relationships, caregiving, identity, boundaries, and putting others first. I work with women navigating betrayal, relationship changes, trauma, life transitions, and the process of reconnecting with themselves, strengthening their voice, and trusting their own needs and instincts.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
As a therapist, I approach women's issues with empathy and understanding, integrating Narrative Therapy to help my clients rewrite their narratives and redefine their identities in a way that empowers them. Through Person-Centered Therapy, I create a nurturing and validating environment where women feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients in embracing their thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful steps towards living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you feel weighed by so many life demands? The expectation to work, care for the family, keep up the home, and so on, can feel draining. Even when you want to feel peaceful and content, instead, you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by stress, burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. Each day feels like you are being stretched thinner, and you wonder how much more you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Let us work together to help you stay balanced.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
Helping mothers of young children find balance in their lives is a passion of mine. Whether you find yourself carrying more than your share of the “mental load”, or feel isolated as a new parent, I am here to support you and find ways to navigate these difficult times.
I also have experience supporting women who are experiencing infertility. Infertility can be a devastating experience. It can be a time of grief. It can also be a time of stress while navigating an expensive and complicated medical system. I meet you wherever you are in your journey.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we provide a dedicated space for women to navigate the unique societal, biological, and cultural pressures they face throughout their lives. We specialize in addressing the "invisible load" of balancing professional ambitions with family expectations, as well as the specific mental health challenges related to reproductive health, postpartum transitions, and menopause. Our approach is deeply sensitive to the way gender intersects with cultural and faith-based identities, helping women reclaim their agency in spaces where they may feel unheard. We support women in setting healthy boundaries, overcoming perfectionism, and cultivating a self-identity that is defined by their own values rather than external demands.
