Women's Issues
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Being someone who identifies as a woman is not easy. Societal pressures, cultural, family, and personal expectations can feel crushing, and it can feel like we are never enough. I also work with those struggling with life decisions, parenting and fertility issues, life transitions, women's health issues and other stressors (such as carrying emotional labor for home and/or the workplace) that seem to predominately affect women. Therapy can be a powerful place to focus on what you need and learn to orient to what is most important to you - such as peace, fulfillment, improving health, or choosing a path of freedom rather than managing everything all the time.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being a female is hard - there are many pressures placed upon you. When will you get married? Are you having children? What are you doing with your career? Question after question is asked of you as though you are expected to have the right societal expectations. I am here to listen and help when you don't have those answers and you feel in the dark the journey is yours, let's take it together.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I dedicate myself to the unique experiences and challenges faced by women, offering a compassionate and empowering space for exploration and growth. I understand the intricate tapestry of emotions and societal pressures that women navigate daily, from personal identity and relationships to career and family dynamics. With empathy and understanding, I guide each woman in unraveling and addressing the multifaceted aspects of her life. Our journey together focuses on embracing and strengthening the inner self, overcoming obstacles, and celebrating womanhood in all its forms. It's about creating a life that resonates with one's truest desires, fostering a sense of fulfillment, empowerment, and profound self-love.

Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LLMSW
Women face specific challenges in all aspects of their lives - health, workplace, social life, dating. I have a deep understanding of these experiences, and approach therapy from a feminist, intersectional perspective, taking all of your identities and experiences into account while supporting you as you navigate issues within your life. I offer an affirming, compassionate, and non-judgemental approach to therapy, employing mostly psychodynamic, somatic, and internal family systems approaches.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perhaps my most significant specialization is in working with women who present with the Female Athlete Triad--a combination of over-training plus under-nourishing can lead to repetitive injuries. What the triad does not acknowledge is the mental health component--typically the struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, control, and fear of failure. I enjoy helping women connect their thoughts and feelings, examining how they impact eating and exercise behaviors. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating women's health issues.
