Women's Issues
Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Caring for women has been a life calling for me. Spending 14 years at the bedside of women in OB/GYN affords me the life experiences of what women have shared with me in a vulnerable setting over the years. The last 3 years of my career have focused on the mental health portion of some of these topics, and my knowledge of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and reproductive organs has proven to be an invaluable asset in this field.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
As a therapist, I approach women's issues with empathy and understanding, integrating Narrative Therapy to help my clients rewrite their narratives and redefine their identities in a way that empowers them. Through Person-Centered Therapy, I create a nurturing and validating environment where women feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients in embracing their thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful steps towards living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.

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.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
It might seem strange for a man to list women’s issues as a specialty, but it was the mistreatment of women in my life that inspired me to research alternatives to mainstream medicine and mental health.
I don’t claim to have special insights into women’s issues, but as a member of a “target” group myself (I’m a man of color, and a short one at that.), I relate to some of the societal “isms” that women face. A girlfriend once said “You think more like a woman than any man I’ve known.” I think she was exasperated, but I was complimented.
Maybe this is why I attract a higher percentage of female clients (especially female therapists!) than most males in a therapeutic role, and why I’ve long had more female friends than male friends.
I’m a reasonably enlightened guy who’s proud to say I’m a feminist (although I also work well and respectfully with women who are politically and religiously traditional and/or conservative).
So, if you think it might help to have a male perspective and (depending on your age) some healthy father energy in your life, get in touch.

Margot Schultz
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.T.S., M.A., LPC
My counseling practice has evolved over the years, to become a place especially helpful to women. Whether it is a concern about roles in the family, such as parent or wife, or perhaps a concern about a friendship; these types of relationships cause stress for women. There is also the relationship that one has for one's self. Can you be your own best friend when the other people in your life let you down?
Sometimes, women come in to counseling to work through spirituality issues. They are asking themselves if the church they attend is a good enough fit for what they deeply believe in. Other reasons for delving into matters of faith include wondering "where" a loved went after they died. When there is a loss in the family, a woman is often the one comforting others but not sure where to turn to receive help with her own questioning and grieving.
Most women today also have a career of some type, whether it is full-time or part time. Some women work on projects but don't have a job
per-se. Other women feel the most freedom by staying in the "gig economy" but there is anxiety that comes with having to change "gigs" often. Women working up the corporate ladder need to talk about the obstacles they confront, and how to maintain their confidence amidst the criticisms faced at the office.
Last but not least, there is the topic of romance and personality fit. Many women wrestle with deciding if they are in a "good enough" relationship, since all partnerships are flawed in some way. They wonder if their partner will ever understand them, or how to make that happen in a non-threatening way.
