Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Women are often told that what they are experiencing is just part of life. I tend to disagree. I work with women navigating sexuality, identity, body image, life transitions, relationships, and the particular weight of holding everything together while quietly struggling. You deserve a space where you do not have to minimize any of it.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
“It is literally impossible to be a woman… We have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.” There's a reason that this speech from the Barbie movie hit so many women so hard -we don't often get to see our struggle so loudly expressed in such a big way. Being a woman does feel so impossible sometimes, and yet, women still have to figure it out somehow. The first step is believing that you are important enough to put yourself on your own priority list, and not be an afterthought. In my work, I help women explore who they have been, who they are today, and who they might want to be eventually. I help women identify what, or who, is standing in their way, and make changes in their lives to navigate these obstacles. Sometimes we can change things, and sometimes we can only change the way we react to them. Either way, women are more capable than they believe, and I love helping my clients learn just what they are capable of when they start to dismantle the outdated and unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that keep them from feeling better.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a woman in America in 2024 is not easy. A mentor of mine once said that she did not envy my experience as a woman today. She grew up in a different time, a time when she was expected to be a good mother for her children and a responsible homemaker for her husband. Today, beyond these roles, there is a subtle, quiet undercurrent of expectations including, but by no means limited to, being a “good” wife, sister, friend, and neighbor (what does “good” mean anyway?), a career woman, an impromptu party host with a meticulous home (cook, housekeeper, etc.), and a selfless volunteer in the community, all while maintaining a size 2 figure. How can we possibly manage all this and more? Together we can explore the expectations you have of yourself as well as your place in today's world.

Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As women, we often carry layers of expectations, roles, and generational patterns. I provide a space to unpack the stories you’ve been told about who you “should” be and reconnect with who you truly are. Whether you’re navigating identity shifts, relationships, motherhood, or self-worth, our work will focus on helping you feel empowered, seen, and whole.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Many women come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or quietly disconnected from themselves. You may be juggling relationships, family, work, and expectations—often putting your own needs last. Therapy offers a space just for you: to slow down, be honest, and explore what you’re carrying without guilt or judgment. I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship stress, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of caregiving. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to who you are and what you want, so you can move through your life with greater clarity and self-trust.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
A large portion of my practice is made up of women navigating different stages of life- from young adulthood and career-building years to partnership, motherhood, and beyond. Across these stages, many women I work with are carrying what is often described as an “invisible load"- the emotional, mental, and relational labor of managing not only their own lives, but also the needs, expectations, and wellbeing of others.
Many of my clients are high-achieving and deeply responsible, yet feel the pressure of constantly having to hold everything together while also meeting often unrealistic societal expectations. This can include navigating gender-based pressures, inequality in relationships or workplaces, caregiving demands, and the ongoing tension between personal needs and external responsibilities.
In our work together, we also explore how men and women are often socialized differently, which can shape communication styles, emotional expression, conflict patterns, and expectations within relationships. When helpful, we look at how these differences may contribute to misunderstandings or tension in relationships with partners, friends, or colleagues, and we work on ways to communicate more clearly, assertively, and effectively across these dynamics.
We also examine internalized expectations, perfectionism, self-sacrifice patterns, and the impact of broader societal and cultural pressures on identity and self-worth. Over time, therapy can help create more space for self-advocacy, boundaries, rest, and authenticity.
My goal is to support women in feeling more seen, supported, and empowered in their lives- helping them reconnect with their own needs and voice while navigating the complexity of the roles they hold.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Women's mental health encompasses a uniquely complex set of experiences — shaped by biology, relationships, identity, cultural expectations, and the relentless pressure to manage everything without showing the strain. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, infertility, perimenopause, relationship issues, trauma, and the particular challenges of being a woman in high-demand personal and professional roles. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help women build genuine resilience, reclaim their sense of self, and live with greater clarity and intention. Telehealth therapy for women available across 40+ states.

Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many women and femme clients around identity, relationships, trauma, sexuality, cultural expectations, and life transitions. Therapy can be a place to explore who you are outside of the roles you’ve been asked to play and to build a life that feels more like your own.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women often carry invisible burdens shaped by societal expectations, cultural norms, and gender-based trauma. From relationship patterns and body image to workplace dynamics and reproductive health, therapy offers a space to examine how these forces have shaped your story. Through a feminist, trauma-informed lens, we center your voice, autonomy, and empowerment.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Let's talk truth. As a function of the culture in which we find ourselves today, it is an undeniable fact that in general men and women are not treated the same. We do not have the same struggles. We are not trained or educated in the same ways. We have been conditioned to perceive things differently. That is not to negate individual perspectives, talents, abilities, situations or experiences. We're all different, and yet we live in this culture which has an effect on us and we an effect on it. I've coached hundreds of women using tools designed specifically for women to help you answer your callings and claim your power to play as big as you want. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. When I was introduced to these tools, I saw my life in a new way. I came to understand my own behavior and the behaviors of many of the women around me in a way that made so much more sense. I am so proud to introduce this work and its tools to other women who want to play bigger in their own lives. Introductory chats are free of charge, so what's stopping you from scheduling one right now?

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
There are many systems in place that negatively impact women in the world, especially women of color. As I have navigated the world as a cisgender woman and have myself come into contact to the ways that systemic oppression impact me, it has informed my work with women to better understand these often invisible systems, how they coerce and pressure us for compliance and how women can push back against these patterns both individually and in community.
