Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Many women struggle with trying to be all things to all people. Maintaining a career, raising children, and caring for elderly parents can often be issues that they face. Setting boundaries and self-care are some of the interventions that are explored in counseling.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
My clients have always found me to be relatable due to my transparent and approachable style. I have specialized in women's issues because I'm a passionate advocate and believer in what women can bring to the table. We have long had to fight for so much and as we reveal the layers of society, I think we learn how this has impacted us on a deep level. Even with this work we are still professionals, parents, and caregivers, sometimes all at the same time. See me to talk about these issue and to think about what might work for you to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and the world at large.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
As a therapist, I approach women's issues with empathy and understanding, integrating Narrative Therapy to help my clients rewrite their narratives and redefine their identities in a way that empowers them. Through Person-Centered Therapy, I create a nurturing and validating environment where women feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients in embracing their thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful steps towards living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health.
I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented.
Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends.
I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative).
So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.
