Tonya Wells
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - Clinical
In therapy with me, you will be seen, heard, and respected with strong attention paid to how your identity as a woman has shaped you. I have significant expertise and training around feminist theory, which will inform our approach. Together, we will reflect on the social, cultural, and political factors affecting you as a woman, focusing on building more skills to help you recognize and address issues like bias and discrimination. The therapist/client relationship will be egalitarian in nature.

Women's Issues
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’ve spent years showing up, taking care of others, and getting things done—even when it meant setting your own needs aside. But lately, something feels off. Maybe you’re feeling more irritable, foggy, anxious, or exhausted than usual. Your body and mind are shifting, and the strategies that once helped no longer seem to work. Whether you're navigating identity changes, caregiving fatigue, high-functioning burnout, or the often-disorienting symptoms of perimenopause, you deserve support that sees the full picture.
I work with women, femmes, and gender-expansive adults who are carrying a lot—from caretaking and career demands to invisible labor and internalized expectations. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and deeply capable—and still find themselves feeling burned out, anxious, over-functioning, and disconnected from themselves. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
In therapy, we’ll explore the complex emotional landscape of midlife—where physical, emotional, and existential shifts converge. This may include hormonal changes, mood swings, grief, rage, shifting roles, and the pressure to “age gracefully” in a culture that minimizes your pain. These experiences are often compounded by neurodivergence, trauma, or societal pressures around gender, body, and productivity.
This is a space to make sense of what you’re experiencing—not as a personal failing, but as a signal that something deeper needs tending. Here, you have permission to be messy, complex, and real. Together, we’ll examine how early relational dynamics, internalized expectations, overlooked neurodivergence, and systemic messages about womanhood shape how you show up for others—and for yourself. We’ll get clear on what’s shifting, what still matters, and what needs to change so you can show up more fully for you.
With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from self-doubt and depletion toward clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of agency. Whether you’re unlearning old patterns, adjusting to hormonal shifts, or simply craving a space to rest and be real, I’m here. We’ll also work toward a version of self-care that isn’t performative—but deeply nourishing and sustainable.

Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support women navigating the unique emotional challenges that can arise throughout different stages of life. Experiences related to relationships, motherhood, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum changes, caregiving, chronic stress, body image, identity shifts, and past trauma can significantly impact you and your mental health. EMDR can help clients process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and address the negative beliefs that may keep them feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women often carry the weight of multiple roles and expectations, which can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, and emotional strain. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore challenges related to identity, relationships, self-care, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, menopause, work-life balance, or past trauma, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength, clarify your needs, and honor your authentic self.
