Women’s Issues

Therapy offers vital support for women across diverse life stages, addressing experiences from pregnancy and the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause to ongoing issues of empowerment and imposter syndrome.

During pregnancy, therapy can provide emotional support and coping strategies for managing the physical changes as well as the overwhelming mental load of motherhood. Let’s break it down with real talk: pregnancy and motherhood? It’s a total mind-screw. Your body’s changing, hormones are wild, and suddenly everyone’s got opinions on your life choices. Forget the curated Pinterest mom-life aesthetic; it’s messy, it’s exhausting, and it’s totally okay to not be okay. Therapy can be your safe space to unpack all that. We’re not here to judge your birth plan or tell you how to parent. We’re here to help you navigate the anxiety of ‘am I doing this right?’, the pressure to ‘bounce back,’ and the total identity shift that comes with becoming a mom. We’ll help you set boundaries with well-meaning (but often annoying) family members, work through those postpartum feels, and figure out how to prioritize your own mental health without feeling guilty. We’ll also help you connect with your new identity and help you keep some of your old identity. Basically, we’ll give you the tools to survive and thrive during this crazy chapter, so you can ditch the mom-guilt and embrace the realness of it all. Because let’s be honest, adulting is hard enough, and adding a tiny human into the mix? That deserves some serious support.

For those seeking empowerment, therapy helps dismantle societal pressures and cultivate self-advocacy, fostering a sense of agency and strength. While we genuinely believe women are incredible, sometimes you may not believe this about yourself. Therapy can help you break through all the glass ceilings, fight to close the gender pay gap for yourself, and help you get a seat at every table.

Addressing imposter syndrome, a common experience among women, involves exploring underlying beliefs, challenging self-doubt, and building authentic self-confidence. We’ve all been there – scrolling through social media, seeing everyone’s ‘highlight reel,’ and thinking, ‘How did they get that promotion? Am I just faking it?’ Imposter syndrome is your brain gaslighting you into thinking you’re a fraud, even when you’re crushing it. In therapy, we’re not going to give you some dusty, old-school advice. We’ll unpack those toxic thought patterns, like, why you’re comparing yourself to curated online personas and how society has wired you to doubt your own wins. We’ll work on reframing those narratives, building your self-compassion, and recognizing that everyone, yes, everyone, has those moments of doubt. We’ll also help you identify your actual strengths (because you have them!) and learn to celebrate your achievements, no filters needed. We’ll help you ditch the self-sabotage and level up your confidence, so you can own your success and stop letting that inner critic steal your joy. It’s about building a toolkit to recognize and dismantle those thoughts.

Navigating the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause can also present significant emotional and psychological challenges. Therapy provides a supportive environment to process the physical changes, mood swings, anxiety, and shifts in identity that can accompany this stage of life. We offer strategies for managing these transitions, fostering self-compassion, and rediscovering well-being as you navigate this powerful new chapter.

Through tailored therapeutic approaches, we aim to help women like you gain valuable tools to navigate these multifaceted issues so that you can reclaim your narrative and boost your inner resilience and well-being.
