Women's Issues
Kailey Hockridge
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM, LPCC
I approach my work through a lens of intersectional feminism and recognize the importance of honoring and exploring the unique issues women face. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand how their lived experience impacts their emotional wellbeing and sense of self, as well as how this experience can be harnessed as a strength as they move toward healing.

Women's Issues
Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I've dedicated the majority of my 20+ year career to supporting women: from young adults who were the first in their family to attend college; to transracial adoptees exploring issues of identity; midlife mothers finally prioritizing their own needs after decades of caregiving; and women across backgrounds seeking to heal from trauma, overcome adversity, and live their best lives.

Women's Issues
Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Women often carry significant expectations, responsibilities, and pressures while trying to balance the needs of work, relationships, family, and themselves. Many of the women I work with struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from who they are beneath the roles they fulfill for others. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself, strengthen your voice, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values and needs.

Gina Adorno
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC I
I work with women navigating identity, relational stress, trauma histories, and pressure related to roles and expectations. Therapy often explores boundaries, self-worth, and patterns shaped by cultural or relational dynamics. The focus is on increasing autonomy, clarity, and self-trust in daily life.

Women's Issues
Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
I work with women navigating a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, identity, life transitions, relationships, trauma, parenting, and the pressure of balancing multiple roles. Many women feel stretched, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves while trying to meet external expectations.
In therapy, we will explore your full experience, including thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses, to better understand the patterns underneath what you’re feeling. Alongside this deeper exploration, we will work toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with yourself and your needs.

Women's Issues
Dr. Kelly Rees
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, Sexologist
In my work and in my life, I find that women have some specific issues and needs; some tendencies that keep arising which need to be addressed in the contest of gender, in the interest of freedom. Why do women accept such minimal consideration in relationships? Why is women's pleasure often and afterthought, even to the women themselves? Women's bodies go through some specific changes over time, and our culture leaves us largely unprepared or feeling bad about them.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
