Women's Issues
Tracy Sachs
Therapist, MA, AMFT
In our current patriarchal society, there are very few models for how to be a strong, feminine woman. With a lack of obvious models and archetypes to draw from, women often either take on the masculine hero's journey as their own or feel disempowered and weak. By drawing upon myths and archetypes, we can explore the heroine's journey of feminine power and apply it to the lived realities of life in areas such as motherhood, career, relationships, marriage, boundaries, and purpose.

Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You’re tired of doing all the things. It's difficult to find fulfillment in day-to-day life in the midst of stress and burnout. I can help. You want to stop feeling empty and disconnected. You want to better understand yourself and your feelings and learn skills to break through this stalemate. The down days come fast and hard, and you know you’re wearing thin. You’re yearning to feel comfortable in your own skin, live with purpose and build more meaningful connections.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to give to everyone all the time? Once upon a time you felt on top of it all… you were happy and took pride in being able to manage so much, but that escapes you now. Everything feels so big, you feel isolated and you’ve been feeling this way for far too long. It’s hard to find happiness in day-to-day life amid feelings of anxiety or burnout.
With therapy, you will learn how to destroy the negative narratives living rent free in your head, gain a better understanding of yourself and build new skills that put you back in control of your life and emotions. You’ll have an empowering space committed solely to you where you can share free of judgment or criticism. You’ll gain clarity, build confidence and learn how to set healthy boundaries to foster connection and transform your life.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I work with clients of all genders from a feminist perspective, which means that we consider the ways in which rigid gender roles and expectations are harmful to everyone. But this is particularly true for women and trans and nonbinary people. Women and female-socialized people are taught to be empathic caretakers, but we forget to make sure to take care of ourselves, and often find that others don't take care of us. We're told we can "have it all" but we're not given supports that make "it all" sustainable or even, perhaps, desirable. So often, if we feel broken, the reality of the situation is that we're perfectly functional, but broken systems are failing us. My feminism is trans-inclusive and conscious of intersectionality. In addition to supporting people who are struggling with these broader issues, I am also a certified perinatal mental health professional.
I bring both my professional background and my lived experience to supporting people with uteruses who are coping with infertility or fertility treatments, pregnancy (including high-risk pregnancy), and the postpartum transition, ranging from identity questions and baby blues to postpartum depression and anxiety. If you feel like you could use some support in the monumental task of "existing while female," reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!
