Women's Issues
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Much of my clinical work has focused on supporting women as they navigate the unique challenges and transitions that arise across the lifespan. Whether you're navigating the complexities of dating, building or redefining a relationship, coping with infertility, adjusting to pregnancy or new parenthood, balancing the demands of career and family, or entering a new stage of life, therapy can provide a space for reflection, growth, and support.
I am passionate about helping women better understand themselves, navigate life's transitions with greater confidence, and make choices that align with their values and goals. My aim is to create a collaborative, affirming environment where you feel empowered to face challenges, strengthen resilience, and build a life that feels meaningful and authentic.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
Helping mothers of young children find balance in their lives is a passion of mine. Whether you find yourself carrying more than your share of the “mental load”, or feel isolated as a new parent, I am here to support you and find ways to navigate these difficult times.
I also have experience supporting women who are experiencing infertility. Infertility can be a devastating experience. It can be a time of grief. It can also be a time of stress while navigating an expensive and complicated medical system. I meet you wherever you are in your journey.

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. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. 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?

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Women’s issues often involve navigating overlapping expectations related to work, caregiving, relationships, and identity. Many of the women I work with find themselves managing competing roles while feeling pressure to hold everything together. In our work together, we focus on clarifying what matters most to you, understanding how these pressures shape your responses, and developing ways of living that feel more balanced, sustainable, and aligned with your values.

Women's Issues
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.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
