Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals with women's issues, I provide a safe and empathetic space to address a range of concerns unique to women. This may include reproductive health, body image, gender identity, relationships, career challenges, or experiences of discrimination and inequality. Through therapy, education, and empowerment-focused approaches, we work together to explore these issues, develop coping strategies, and promote personal growth and well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate and overcome the challenges they face, ultimately fostering a sense of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives.

Women's Issues
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Women's issues are problems or challenges that specifically affect women. These can include things like unfair treatment because of gender, health concerns like pregnancy, or pressure from society to act a certain way because of gender. For example, a woman who struggles with addiction might face judgment or find it hard to get help because people see addiction differently for men and women. In relationships, women might deal with issues like power struggles or even abuse. And these issues can make women feel really sad or anxious, especially if they feel like they don't have control over their lives because of how society sees them.
To help someone with women's issues, I'd give them a safe place to talk about what's going on. Encouraging them to stand up for themselves, connecting them with support groups or counseling, and helping them deal with tough situations can all make a big difference. Also, we will address the things that might be causing their problems, like past traumas or low self-esteem, can help them feel better and more in control.

Areas of specialization in working with women (and at times with men as well) include addressing power differentials and dynamics that can also be influenced by cultural norms.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Women's issues encompass a broad range of challenges influenced by societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. As a therapist, I'd create a safe and supportive space for women to talk about what's going on. I'd listen with empathy, validate their experiences, and offer encouragement as we figure things out together. The aim of therapy would be to help women understand themselves better, cope with challenges more effectively, and live the kind of life that feels right for them.
