It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health.
I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented.
Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends.
I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative).
So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.

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.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
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.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
The world has a lot of "rules" for women - how we should act, speak, dress, work, love, and show up in everyday life. And sometimes, we're so steeped in these messages that it becomes hard to even know what we believe anymore. Whether you're feeling unsure about what you're looking for in a relationship, having trouble asserting yourself at work, experiencing challenges related to physical stressors, or dealing with other people in your life who think you 'should' be doing something differently - I can help.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Women often wear many hats throughout life — daughter, mother, wife, sister, friend, caregiver, career professional, and more. At times, balancing these roles can feel natural and fulfilling, yet at other times it may become overwhelming or emotionally draining. In those moments, a powerful question often rises to the surface: Who am I beyond everything I do for everyone else?
While we may clearly understand the roles we fulfill, discovering who we are outside of those roles is a deeper, more personal journey. In my practice, I offer a supportive and nurturing space where women can explore their identities, reflect on their experiences, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have been overlooked or set aside. Together, we work to rediscover your unique voice, strengthen your sense of self, and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
