Women's Issues
A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Women are often taught to be accommodating, capable, nurturing, and available to everyone around them, sometimes at the expense of knowing and honoring themselves. You may be balancing relationships, career, family, caregiving, changing roles, body image, societal expectations, or the pressure to somehow do everything and do it well. I work with women who are tired of shrinking themselves, questioning their worth, feeling guilty for having needs, or becoming who everyone else expects them to be. Therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with your own voice, explore what you actually want, strengthen your boundaries, and develop greater self-compassion and confidence. You are allowed to build a life that doesn’t just look good to everyone else, but actually feels good to you.

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.

Leigh Ann Lichty | INNER FLOW Counseling & Art Therapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
Women can face many layered stressors with balancing family, work, caring for aging parents, all while trying to maintain self-care and going through hormonal changes. It can be incredibly overwhelming, anxiety producing, and sometimes feel impossible. I am here to support you in managing stress and emotion associated with your unique combination of life challenges and responsibilities. I also specialize in supporting women going through perimenopause and those who are post-menopausal. I do not offer medical advice on these topics, but I am knowledgeable about the variety of symptoms women may experience when going through hormonal changes and how they affect mental health, general wellness, and functioning. I am happy to guide and support women in this important phase of life!
