Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
I work with women who are having difficulty/stress in their life, due to gender norms/concerns. Women can face a different set of issues/concerns because of discrimination, sexism, and/or gender-based violence. I provide a safe, validating space for women to share their experiences, needs, and issues. I believe women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported.

Women’s Issues: Navigating the Systemic & the Self
Reclaiming Agency in a High-Demand World
Being a woman in today’s world often feels like an endless exercise in "managed overwhelm." Between the biological transitions of our bodies and the social constructs that demand we be the primary emotional caretakers, peacekeepers, and high-achievers, many women find themselves in a state of chronic burnout. In my practice, I provide a courageous and curious space to untangle your authentic self from the "shoulds" imposed by society, family, and tradition.
The Architecture of the "Woman’s Burden"
We don’t just look at your internal thoughts; we look at the "system" you are operating within. We work together to address:
The Emotional Labor Deficit: Navigating the exhaustion that comes from being the "Chief Emotional Officer" of your family or workplace, leading to a profound sense of shut down.
Identity & Role Transitions: Supporting you through the "big shifts"—motherhood, the empty nest, career pivots, or menopause—where the old map of your life no longer fits the new terrain.
Internalized Perfectionism: Deconstructing the "inner critic" that demands flawlessness, often fueled by social constructs of power and equity.
A Multidimensional Clinical Path
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate specialized tools to help you reclaim your vitality:
Attachment & Mutuality: We explore your relationships through the lens of Systems Theory, identifying where a lack of mutuality is draining your "social battery" and triggering rejection sensitivity.
EMDR for Gendered Trauma: We use EMDR to process the "stuck" memories of systemic or personal harm—from workplace bullying to reproductive trauma—that keep your nervous system on high alert.
Spiritual Deconstruction: For women in high-control or traditional spiritual systems, I use my Master of Divinity to help you navigate the disillusionment and trauma that often arise when your identity clashes with institutional "rules."
Holding Space for the "Woman as Healer"
I have a "special love" for working with female therapists, pastors, and leaders. When you are the one holding the world together, who holds you? I provide a confidential, peer-level sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" mask and be a human who is cared for.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Women's lives include navigating sensitive and challenging transitions involving identity, marriage & partnership, motherhood, caregiving, abusive relationships, ageism, health, and feelings of invisibility and marginalizing. Women's complexities also include hormone health, grief and loss, perimenopause and menopause, and changing life roles.
Therapy honors a woman's unique transitions through all stages of development. Our work together offers a supportive space to voice everything necessary to reconnect with your authentic self. It helps you find your way with these experiences while fostering compassion, self-understanding, resilience, self-forgiveness, and a deeper connection with yourself through every stage of life.
