Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Women's lives include navigating sensitive and challenging transitions involving identity, marriage & partnership, motherhood, caregiving, abusive relationships, ageism, health, and feelings of invisibility and marginalizing. Women's complexities also include hormone health, grief and loss, perimenopause and menopause, and changing life roles.
Therapy honors a woman's unique transitions through all stages of development. Our work together offers a supportive space to voice everything necessary to reconnect with your authentic self. It helps you find your way with these experiences while fostering compassion, self-understanding, resilience, self-forgiveness, and a deeper connection with yourself through every stage of life.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
You've had your first baby and realize how completely your needs disappeared in the process. Maybe you find yourself having to constantly justify your decision not to have children at all. Maybe you’re navigating the emotional exhaustion of online dating, or noticing how often you make yourself smaller in male-dominated spaces and you don't know why.
Our experiences as women shape how you see yourself, what you tolerate, and how much space you allow yourself to take up. My work focuses on helping you understand how these patterns formed and decide, consciously, what you want to carry forward and what you don’t. From a feminist-informed perspective, we make sense of both your internal experience and the realities you’ve had to navigate so you can move through your life with more clarity, confidence, and ownership of yourself.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Women move through many seasons of life—college, career, marriage, motherhood, menopause, and beyond—and each stage brings its own joys and challenges. You may find yourself redefining your identity, balancing competing roles, or adjusting to unexpected changes. In therapy, you’ll have a supportive space to process these transitions, reconnect with yourself, and find clarity and strength for what’s next. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel grounded, empowered, and at peace with the person you’re becoming.
