Women's Issues
Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
I realize it might be a bit odd for a male therapist to select women's issues as a "specialty," and I did debate it for a bit. I have to say though, the bulk of my experience is with women and teen girls. Some of that has been due to some niche situations, such as my work with trauma (I'm certified in trauma - CCTP) which has brought me many female survivors, teens and adults, of female sexual predators, who seem to find my being male somewhat helpful. Also 10 years providing and supervising crisis services has had me working with everything from domestic violence to post-partum suicidality, agoraphobia, self-worth and identity issues, as well as many other things that disproportionately affect women.
I completely understand why some women may feel more comfortable with a female therapist, since I can't share their lived experiences in the same way. However, I hope my commitment to learning, and listening, has given me a deeper understanding of the emotional complexities many women face. I’ve found that working collaboratively with clients allows us to navigate sensitive issues together, making the process more about mutual understanding than assumptions based on gender.

Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I enjoy working with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, motherhood, pregnancy and postpartum changes, self-esteem, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands placed on them.
Therapy can be a space to step away from constantly taking care of everyone else and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can explore your needs, relationships, boundaries, emotions, and the patterns that may be leaving you feeling stuck or depleted. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want.

Women's Issues
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Women navigate a unique intersection of societal expectations, biological transitions, and systemic pressures throughout their lives. Balancing roles, managing health shifts, carrying the invisible mental load of caretaking, and confronting perfectionism can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, or unappreciated. My practice offers a supportive space tailored specifically to women’s health. Together, we will honor your lived experiences, address life-stage transitions, quiet self-criticism, and help you set healthy boundaries so you can reclaim your time, energy, and authentic sense of self.

Dianne Gallo, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Moving through the world as a woman — especially in the current cultural and political context — can bring up a range of feelings and experiences. I'm curious about your experience of your social identities, including gender, and how they impact your lived experience. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked with Global Fund for Women and served as a post-abortion counselor with Exhale Pro Voice. I've completed training with Gen Sex on gender, consent, and sexual health. I have experience working with a range of issues including fertility, ambivalence around whether to become a parent, sexual assault, abusive relationships, PMDD, trauma, anxiety, and other issues.
