Women's Issues
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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
For generations women have been doing it all. We are taught from a young age to be everything to everyone. We are daughters, mothers, wives, employees, entrepreneurs, caretakers, and more recently, boss bitches. The media has sold us an image of what we should look, how we should act and has all the products and programs we need, if that doesn’t come naturally. Be sexy but not too sexy. Be pleasant and accommodating but don’t be a doormat. Look good, after all your body is here for others' enjoyment... and to sell products. Let's explore how all these implicit messages and expectations have impacted you. You might feel resentful because you compromised your boundaries and put everyone else's needs before your own. Maybe you've leaned into your masculine side because you related being feminine to being weak, vulnerable and dependent. Let's dismantle all the shit you've been told. Explore and connect with your powerful feminine energy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment, while addressing the messages you received about your role as a woman, your relationship with your body and the pressure to do it all.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my practice, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals grappling with a wide spectrum of women's issues. Drawing from years of experience and a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding these challenges, my approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and a focus on tailored solutions.
Recognizing that every woman's journey is unique, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and experiences openly. Whether it's addressing mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, helping clients navigate the complexities of body image and self-esteem, or providing support to survivors of trauma and abuse, I approach each case with sensitivity and a client-centered focus.
In the realm of relationships, I work closely with individuals to foster healthier dynamics, improve communication, and build resilience. Women often face unique workplace stressors, and I offer strategies for managing career-related challenges, gender disparities, and the delicate balance between professional and personal life.
Reproductive health, a significant aspect of women's well-being, is another area of expertise. I provide guidance and support during transitions such as fertility concerns, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, ensuring that clients have the resources and coping strategies they need.
I am mindful of the intersectionality of women's issues, recognizing that identity, culture, and background play pivotal roles in shaping one's experiences. My therapy approach is culturally sensitive and inclusive, taking into account the diverse backgrounds and identities of my clients.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower women to overcome the obstacles they face, fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and personal growth. Through a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, mind-body work, and a strengths-based approach, I strive to help my clients live fulfilling lives and navigate the unique challenges and opportunities that come their way.
