The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Women's mental health is shaped by experiences that are uniquely ours: hormonal shifts, reproductive transitions, societal pressure, identity changes, and the invisible labor of holding everything together. Our practice is dedicated entirely to women, which means you won't have to explain the context. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, life after the kids leave home, career and identity questions, or simply the feeling of having lost yourself somewhere along the way, we offer knowledgeable, affirming support for every chapter of womanhood.

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.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Women today are often expected to effortlessly balance a multitude of roles, frequently leading to chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, and losing touch with their own needs. I specialize in helping women navigate the unique emotional, societal, and physiological challenges they face across the lifespan—including identity shifts, life transitions, and relational stressors. My approach blends the structured, actionable strategies of CBT and DBT to help you manage daily stress, set firm boundaries, and quiet your inner critic. Simultaneously, we use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy to unpack generational expectations and rewrite the stories that dictate your worth, while advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting safely process deeper relational or childhood trauma. Together, we will work to reclaim your voice, honor your boundaries, and build a life that feels authentic and deeply fulfilling to you.
