Sarah Sterling

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, LMHC

When women are empowered, humanity will finally be able to live peaceably upon the Earth. The patriarchy has subjugated, repressed and shamed the feminine, women and the Earth for thousands of years. It is the unique responsibility of women to empower themselves in the face of this oppression, changing the paradigm from within. I love to work with: Body image, self love, mothering, sex and female pleasure, facing shame, initiations into feminine power.

Donna Prinzmetal (she/her)

As women, we are constantly defining and re-defining ourselves. As we journey through different phases of our lives, we sometimes face challenging decisions and difficult transitions.

Jennie Hagen (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC

Identifying as female in our culture in 2023 comes with so many landmines. Navigating relationships, work/life balance, parenting, misogyny, rights to body autonomy, and so on. If you've clicked on this specialty, you know. I like to work from an feminist perspective to see how gender underlies other stressors. Feminism is intersectional, and if you identify as female (or on the feminine side of the spectrum) this space is for you.

Mary Smith (She/Her)

I am passionate about helping women process their experiences of womanhood, motherhood, sexuality, challenges in the workforce, and overcoming trauma so they can live empowered lives.

Christina Dunning (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

In our society, women are so often taught to put their needs second and to be warm and consistently pleasant to those around them. While these qualities can sometimes be helpful, they can also trap us in patterns in which we lose track of our needs and disconnect from our authentic selves. Counseling offers a place to reconnect with oneself and explore and practice boundary setting and self care.

Melissa Yeary (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC, CHT

The major events in a woman's life can be challenging. Relationship growth or difficulty, becoming a mother or deciding not to have children, managing work and family, coming into your own as a woman.

As women, we are often juggling so many different roles. You might be a partner, a mother, an professional, and so many others. Often, we need someone to talk to about how all of those roles fit together. If this is you, I can help.

Camillia de la Garza Thompson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, CMA

In alignment with my cultural studies, I see gender issues as an intimate piece of our identity, often without conscious choice or recognition. Sometimes, therapists spend your time trying to solve society's problems by making them your problems. There is a difference. I want to facilitate your empowerment, however that looks for you.

Lesley Smith (they/she)

I have experience working with female-identified people and am knowledgable on the unique experiences of these individuals and the ways that patriarchy influences our lived experience.

Janean VeDova (she/her/they)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Women don't need to suffer in silence or feel isolated, we can show up for each other. Women continue to be systemically oppressed in the systems we move in (ex. relationships, family, work, healthcare, law). We women need to gather together to share our wisdom, strength, empathy, encouragements, compassion and support to help one another move through whatever is hard.

Jennie Hayes, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

We are a cultural turning point for women, a reckoning coming at a time where women still face enormous amounts of misogyny, internalized misogyny, role expectation, discrimination, harassment and social expectations about everything from looks to childbearing to relationships. I love working with women as they process trauma and transitions, explore their identity and come into their own power.

xxxx xxxx

Licensed Professional Counselor

Burnout! As women we live with the expectation of putting everyone else's needs first! I hear the unspoken embarrassment of not being able to “keep up” or “lean in” or “get it all done.” These women have nothing left for themselves and they feel “empty”, “hopeless”, “stuck”.

Diana Oxley, Ph.D.

Diploma, CG Jung Institute Zurich; Ph.D. (Psychology), Arizona State University

I have a strong interest in and commitment to helping women confront the cultural pressures and biases that may be operating against them in a patriarchal culture.
