Women's Issues
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Many of the women I work with are high-achieving, deeply self-aware and quietly exhausted. They are the ones holding things together at work, at home and for everyone around them. Underneath the competence is often imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, perfectionism, a hard inner critic or a sense of not being allowed to take up space. These are not personality traits. They are subconscious patterns, usually formed early, often reinforced by the cultural messaging women absorb about who they are supposed to be. RTT works directly at that level. We find the original moment a belief was formed and update the meaning attached to it. The work is online via Zoom and confidential. Many clients describe finally feeling like themselves within the first few sessions.

Women's Issues
Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Addressing the unique pressures women face today—whether you are navigating the transitions of early adulthood, the complexities of mid-life, or the shifting landscape of your senior years—can often leave you feeling depleted. I provide a secure, remote clinical space where the specific challenges of your life stage are witnessed and understood.
Together, we will untangle the internal and external expectations that weigh you down, equipping you with practical tools and strategies to rebuild your self-esteem and reclaim your narrative. My goal is to empower you to move beyond simply "managing it all" toward a life of genuine purpose, joy, and ease.
