Women's Issues
Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perhaps my most significant specialization is in working with women who present with the Female Athlete Triad--a combination of over-training plus under-nourishing can lead to repetitive injuries. What the triad does not acknowledge is the mental health component--typically the struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, control, and fear of failure. I enjoy helping women connect their thoughts and feelings, examining how they impact eating and exercise behaviors. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating women's health issues.

Women's Issues
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In my practice, I focus on the unique challenges that women often face, from the daily demands of single motherhood to the all-encompassing exhaustion of burnout. I understand that high-functioning women often struggle in silence, juggling family, career, and personal responsibilities until stress becomes overwhelming. Whether you’re a single mom navigating the balance of providing for your children and managing your own well-being, or a woman experiencing the emotional toll of leaving a toxic or narcissistic relationship, my approach provides a compassionate space to explore these challenges. Together, we’ll work toward creating healthy boundaries, reclaiming your sense of self, and setting up strategies to manage stress in ways that truly resonate with you.
For those experiencing life transitions like menopause, divorce, or the aging process, it’s common to feel a mix of grief, anxiety, and uncertainty. I offer support for these deeply personal journeys, helping you find empowerment in change and acceptance in each stage of life. We’ll focus on building emotional resilience, understanding the physical and psychological impacts of life transitions, and finding strength in the process.
Whether you’re struggling to redefine yourself post-divorce, navigating the shifts of menopause, or confronting the unique pressures that come with aging, I am here to help you prioritize yourself and reclaim your life with intention and strength.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, LCMHC, CCTP, C-DBT, CYMHS
I realize it might be a bit odd for a male therapist to select women's issues as a "specialty," and I did debate it for a bit. I have to say though, the bulk of my experience is with women and teen girls. Some of that has been due to some niche situations, such as my work with trauma (I'm certified in trauma - CCTP) which has brought me many female survivors, teens and adults, of female sexual predators, who seem to find my being male somewhat helpful. Also 10 years providing and supervising crisis services has had me working with everything from domestic violence to post-partum suicidality, agoraphobia, self-worth and identity issues, as well as many other things that disproportionately affect women.
I completely understand why some women may feel more comfortable with a female therapist, since I can't share their lived experiences in the same way. However, I hope my commitment to learning, and listening, has given me a deeper understanding of the emotional complexities many women face. I’ve found that working collaboratively with clients allows us to navigate sensitive issues together, making the process more about mutual understanding than assumptions based on gender.
