Women often carry the invisible weight of multiple roles, expectations, and emotional labor.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You’ve done everything “right”: career, caregiving, parenting, success, but somewhere along the way, you disappeared. You may even be turning to Chat GPT to find the answers but it still feels lonely. If you’re a high-achieving woman silently struggling with burnout, emotional exhaustion, disordered eating, or the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, I see you. Maybe you’re parenting while unraveling, caregiving for everyone but yourself, managing a career, and surviving a relationship that left deep psychological scars. You’ve held it together for so long that falling apart now feels like failure, but it’s not. It’s a sign you’ve been in survival mode too long.
I work with successful, high-functioning women who are secretly drowning. Women who’ve lived through emotional abuse, chronic gaslighting, trauma bonds, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Women who developed eating disorders or disordered eating patterns because it was the only way to feel in control in a life that felt unsafe. These are not surface issues. This is trauma, grief, identity loss, and decades of putting everyone else first.
This is the space where we talk about the real stuff:
-Narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, and covert domestic violence
-Burnout and breakdowns in midlife
-Parallel parenting and post-separation abuse
-Aging
-Menopause
-Imperfect Parenting
-Chronic perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, and depression
-Eating disorders, disordered eating, and control-based coping
-Grief, infertility, and adoption
-Chronic illness and the toll it takes on your mental health
I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, and I’ve spent 20 years helping women stop surviving and start living on their terms. Whether you're at a breaking point or trying to reclaim your identity one step at a time, you're not too late, too broken, or too far gone. You deserve support that honors your strength. Reach out today. I practice what I preach and it's my mission in this life to help women live their best life.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Let's talk truth. As a function of the culture in which we find ourselves today, it is an undeniable fact that in general men and women are not treated the same. We do not have the same struggles. We are not trained or educated in the same ways. We have been conditioned to perceive things differently. That is not to negate individual perspectives, talents, abilities, situations or experiences. We're all different, and yet we live in this culture which has an effect on us and we an effect on it. I've coached hundreds of women using tools designed specifically for women to help you answer your callings and claim your power to play as big as you want. When I was introduced to these tools, I saw my life in a new way. I came to understand my own behavior and the behaviors of many of the women around me in a way that made so much more sense. I am so proud to introduce this work and its tools to other women who want to play bigger in their own lives. Introductory chats are free of charge, so what's stopping you from scheduling one right now?

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have consistently and actively worked to help women identify issues (typically along the lines of aging and perceived societal expectations) that impact the values and beliefs that are central to who they are as people. I subsequently collaborate with them to help them use their strengths to enhance those core values and beliefs, and to manage any negative self concepts associated with their sense of self, with a goal of working towards growth and an enhanced sense of self.

Women's Issues
Dr. Sarah Arango
Psychologist, PhD
I use a feminist and multicultural approach to support you in your goals. Being a woman today can mean juggling constant roles and expectations. Some of us are caretakers, professionals, partners, or friends, which leaves little space for our own needs. Therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and reclaim your sense of balance and identity. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your voice, set boundaries that feel right, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust and fulfillment.
