Women's Issues
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
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.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
In my work with women, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide an empowering, evidence-based space tailored to your unique experiences. My approach combines these structured modalities with a deep understanding of feminist perspectives on the societal stressors, expectations, and evolving social roles women navigate today. Together, we address how cultural pressures, caregiving burdens, and workplace dynamics impact emotional health, while also attending to the profound influence of biological transitions across the lifespan—including PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. Using CBT and ACT, we work to reframe unhelpful thought patterns, navigate hormonal shifts, align with your core values, and set healthy boundaries so you can restore balance and autonomy in your life.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
Women often carry the weight of many roles, expectations, and responsibilities while trying to make space for their own needs. I provide a compassionate space to explore the unique challenges women may experience around identity, relationships, motherhood, career, self-worth, boundaries, life transitions, and the pressure to “do it all.” Together, we can unpack expectations, strengthen your voice, practice self-compassion, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you feel empowered to honor your needs, trust yourself, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Women often face unique challenges across different stages of life—from navigating relationships, career pressures, and motherhood, to managing transitions, identity shifts, or hormonal changes. These experiences can bring feelings of stress, self-doubt, or imbalance that are difficult to carry alone. In therapy, I provide a supportive, empowering space to process these challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of self. Together, we’ll focus on building resilience, confidence, and balance so you can move forward feeling more grounded, fulfilled, and authentically yourself.

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.
