Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women often carry the weight of multiple roles and expectations, which can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, and emotional strain. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore challenges related to identity, relationships, self-care, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, menopause, work-life balance, or past trauma, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength, clarify your needs, and honor your authentic self.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Let’s be honest—being a woman means constantly evolving, often without a roadmap. From navigating fertility and reproductive challenges to the identity shifts of motherhood (or deciding not to be a mother), and from the unexpected rollercoaster of perimenopause to the emotional complexities of aging—this journey is not for the faint of heart.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, resentful, invisible, or just not like yourself. Maybe you’re grieving what your body used to do with ease. Maybe you’re wrestling with guilt, exhaustion, or the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Whatever you're carrying, I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can exhale, process, and feel seen.
As a licensed psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience—and a fellow human walking this path—I work with women across all life stages using mindfulness-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and compassion-focused approaches. I blend clinical expertise with a healthy dose of humor, humanity, and genuine care.
We’ll explore your story with curiosity and kindness, untangle old patterns, and reconnect you to your own wisdom. Whether you're navigating hormones, heartache, or hard decisions—I’m here to help you feel more empowered, more grounded, and more like you again.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I feel it is different speaking to a male therapist about women's issues, specifically in that you then have to explain yourself more deeply. I cannot simply say "yes, I get it." By sharing the female experience aloud, it forces us to examine the difficulties and complexities from a different lens. I can offer more traditionally "masculine" viewpoints that can shift the way you approach or think about certain problems. So many women struggle with relationships with men in their life (Fathers, partners), that having a different type of open and supportive conversation with a man can be transformative. And, when there is distress in those relationships, we can role play and practice how the communication could go differently next time.
