Women's Issues
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women often carry the weight of multiple roles and expectations, which can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, and emotional strain. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore challenges related to identity, relationships, self-care, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, menopause, work-life balance, or past trauma, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength, clarify your needs, and honor your authentic self.

Women's Issues
Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Women's Issues
Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women’s experiences are often shaped by complex layers of early relationships, internalized expectations, and relational patterns that influence identity, self-worth, and connection. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, I have extensive experience supporting women across life stages. My work draws on private practice, a full-time clinical internship at a transitional housing program for formerly incarcerated women, and a background in women’s studies, allowing me to approach each woman’s experience with understanding, empathy, and attention to both emotional and relational well-being. In our work, we explore these dynamics in a supportive, reflective space, attending to both conscious feelings and the unconscious processes that may influence us. Approached with curiosity and respect, this work can foster deeper self-understanding, emotional integration, and a stronger sense of agency in your life.

Women's Issues
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The challenges facing mothers in or recovering from narcissistic relationships intersect with broader women's issues in ways that are specific and significant. Financial control and economic abuse leave many women financially vulnerable after leaving. The expectation to prioritize everyone else's needs above your own is weaponized by abusive partners. The family court system frequently fails protective mothers. And the cultural pressure to keep the family together, to not be the one who "broke up the home," adds a layer of shame and self-doubt that compounds the trauma. I work exclusively with women, and my practice is built around the specific psychological, relational, and systemic challenges that mothers face before, during, and after leaving narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships. My approach is feminist, trauma-informed, and unapologetically direct — designed for women who are done being told to be more patient, more understanding, and more forgiving of someone who has been systematically harming them.

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.
