We believe therapy shouldn’t be about “fixing” you—it should be about understanding you in context. A feminist approach to therapy recognizes how systems of power, gender roles, and societal expectations can shape your mental health, your relationships, and the way you see yourself.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, body image, perfectionism, motherhood, trauma, or the pressure to do it all—we’re here to hold space for all of it. In this space, your voice matters. Your anger, your softness, your boundaries, your dreams—they’re all welcome.
Therapy For Women
Do you feel like you have to carry it all in a system that feels like you’re already behind in? You don’t have to manage alone.
Do you feel obligated to be the perfect partner, parent, employee, and friend—but inside feel like you're crumbling?
Is anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelm interfering with moments that matter—your relationships, motherhood, work, or self-care?
Are you caught in cycles of self-sabotage—overworking, numbing, people-pleasing, perfectionism—to cope with expectations heavy on your shoulders?
Why Women Centered Therapy Matters
Pressures specific to women: navigating sexism at work, unrealistic beauty standards, postpartum changes, reproductive decisions, mental load, and gender role expectations.
Social comparison culture: media and social platforms constantly amplify messages that you’re never enough.
Life transitions: from fertility struggles and postpartum adjustment to empty nests and career pivots—it can feel destabilizing to go through these alone.
Relational stress & boundary erosion: you deserve to speak your truth, be seen, and stop disappearing for others.
What A Feminist Based Approach Provides
A safe, validating space
Where your experiences as a woman are understood—not dismissed—and your emotions are honored without apology.
Evidence-based & tailored approach
We draw from DBT (boundaries & emotion regulation), ACT (values-based living), IFS (understanding your parts), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and self-compassion tools.
Healing across life stages
Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum changes, parenting, empty nest transitions, or career reinvention, our therapists are equipped to support you.
Tools to reclaim wellness
You’ll learn skills to manage stress, assert your needs, calm the inner critic, and restore balance in your life.
It’s Not Just You—The World We’re Living In Puts Pressure On Women
It’s okay to want support. You don’t have to carry the pressure, the burnout, or the invisible expectations on your own anymore. Therapy can be a space to exhale, reconnect with yourself, and feel truly seen.
Examining The Pressures Of Today
Being a woman today often means living under constant pressure—to succeed professionally, care for others, look a certain way, stay calm, stay small, and never need too much. You may find yourself doing everything for everyone else while silently wondering when it gets to be your turn. Over time, this pressure can lead to burnout, resentment, anxiety, or a deep sense of disconnection from yourself. Therapy offers space to step out of survival mode, reconnect with your own needs, and start living in a way that actually supports you.
The Role Of Social Media
Social media can be a place of connection—but for many women, it also becomes a source of comparison, perfectionism, and shame. You’re constantly bombarded with curated images of people who seem to have it all together: the perfect body, family, home, career, or mindset. It’s no wonder so many women feel like they’re falling short. In therapy, we can unpack the impact of these messages, challenge unrealistic standards, and help you build a more compassionate, grounded relationship with yourself—offline and in real life.

What To Expect In Therapy
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—especially when anxiety is already making you second-guess everything. If you're wondering what it’s actually like, here’s what you can expect:
A Space That’s Just for You
Therapy is your time. You don’t have to perform, have the “right” words, or explain everything perfectly. You’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and zero judgment.
A Collaborative Approach
We’ll work together to explore what’s going on beneath the surface of your anxiety—where it comes from, how it’s affecting you, and what tools and strategies can help. You set the pace, and you’re always in control of your process.
Practical Tools You Can Actually Use
Yes, we’ll talk about your feelings—but we’ll also build skills. You’ll learn techniques to help calm your nervous system, challenge anxious thoughts, set boundaries, and respond more gently to yourself. You’re not “too self aware”. We incorporate both bottom up and top down therapy techniques to help get you out of your head and create real change.
Room for the Big Stuff and the Everyday Stuff
Some sessions may involve untangling long-held beliefs or past experiences. Others might focus on managing your week, preparing for a difficult conversation, or figuring out why you couldn’t sleep last night. It all matters.
Progress That’s Not Always Linear—but Always Possible
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more empowered, and more like you. Growth may not happen in a straight line, but over time, you’ll notice shifts—more ease, more clarity, and more self-trust.

That depends on what you’re looking for. Many high-functioning people have done the self-awareness work—but still feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, perfectionism, or burnout. In our work together, we go beyond insight to help you build real tools, shift ingrained patterns, and address the deeper roots of your anxiety—without pathologizing your ambition or drive.

There’s no “right time” for therapy. You don’t need to meet a certain criteria. If you’re feeling stretched too thin, disconnected from yourself, or like you just want a space for you—it’s enough. Therapy can be helpful for women navigating all kinds of stress, transitions, and emotions, not just crisis. You’re allowed to ask for help before everything falls apart. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.
