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.

Emily Brenner
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
You may be feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to hold everything together, care for others, and meet expectations—often at the expense of your own needs. Whether you’re navigating stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to understand what you truly need.

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.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Some problems are stressors are unique to women or affect women in ways that are different than men. For instance, issues related to role expectations and power differentials at home and in the workplace can add stress. Most women are balancing multiple roles, such as parenting, working, managing a household, and caring for aging parents. It can help to talk through these things with another woman, allowing you to receive support and process through these issues and what they mean for you.

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.

Liberation Therapy
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.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
Being a woman is hard to manage with all of the expectations on top of emotional and relational pressures we face throughout our lives. I support women in exploring identity, boundaries, self-worth, and relationships, while unpacking the impact of gender roles and cultural messaging. I strive to create a collaborative, affirming space where women can feel seen, build confidence, and reconnect with their voice, values, and sense of agency.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I don't need to name how tough it is being a woman in today's society and even more so being a woman of color in our society. You live it. I live it. Whether you are cisgender, transgender, or figuring out who you are, the complexities of womanhood are so complex. On top of that, finding your tribe and support system while juggling the demands of being a woman and honestly just plain BEING is stressful. Let's create a safe space to find support and talk about it.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Much of my clinical work has focused on supporting women as they navigate the unique challenges and transitions that arise across the lifespan. Whether you're navigating the complexities of dating, building or redefining a relationship, coping with infertility, adjusting to pregnancy or new parenthood, balancing the demands of career and family, or entering a new stage of life, therapy can provide a space for reflection, growth, and support.
I am passionate about helping women better understand themselves, navigate life's transitions with greater confidence, and make choices that align with their values and goals. My aim is to create a collaborative, affirming environment where you feel empowered to face challenges, strengthen resilience, and build a life that feels meaningful and authentic.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
Most of my practice is spent providing services to women who are in leadership, high-achieving professionals, work in healthcare, and/or who are moms or have been on a fertility journey. Women's burnout looks different. The messages you received as a child have lead you down your current path of taking on more responsibility and keeping your head down to avoid disrupting or burdening others. In my practice, we look at systems (your family of origin, macro- and meso-level, and your own internal system) and how they're impacting your wellbeing. The focus is on expanding capacity for comfort as well as discomfort. I'll bring in EMDR if there are early experiences that need to be reprocessed to integrate a more adaptive way of experiencing yourself in the world.
Additionally, I am a PMH-C and integrate my perinatal mental health certification with working with women who are trying to conceive, experiencing postpartum anxiety, and who have experienced traumatic pregnancy, birth, or loss.

Together, we work toward balance, healing, and a deeper sense of 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?
