Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
From my earliest professional days as a clinician on an eating disorder unit in nj in the 90's to my work today thirty years later in private practice, treating women and understanding women's issues and development across the lifespan has always been a major interest and specialization in both my clinical work and research. I have certainly enjoyed treating individuals of all genders over the years but women have provided the foundation for much of my clinical understanding and experience. My model for understanding women's psychology is informed by a developmental/ non pathologizing perspective which I think can help women navigate these challenges in a more flexible and creative way. High achieving women in particular face many unique challenges around integrating professional and personal identities, working and mothering, being a partner, navigating families and boundaries, for example. I encourage you to reach out for a phone call if you are curious about whether we may be a good fit in working together on these or other issues that are on your mind.

Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
Pregnancy and new motherhood can bring joy, but also profound emotional challenges—ranging from anxiety and depression to identity shifts and relationship strain. I specialize in supporting women through the perinatal period, including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility struggles, and birth trauma. With warmth, expertise, and evidence-based care, I help you make space for your full emotional experience, strengthen your coping tools, and reconnect with your inner resilience during this deeply transformative time.

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.

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.

Dr. Patricia Barros
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
There is so much cultural expectation for women; we may hold several roles; we may be wonderful at caring for others, while feeling guilty at times when we take care of ourselves. Yes, we deserve to take care of ourselves! I utilize aspects of Narrative Therapy, as well as IFS in my work with women, to help them (re)connect with their own Selves and proceed in life being the version of themselves that fits right for them.

Stacy Brumage
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCP, LCPC
Women often carry complex expectations around relationships, caregiving, identity, boundaries, and putting others first.

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.
