Therapy for Women
You give so much to everyone else. This space is for you.
Is this you?
You're the one who keeps everything running, and you're running on empty
You feel guilty when you rest, and guilty when you don't
You and your partner feel more like roommates than a team
Home feels tense, with the same conflicts on repeat
You've lost track of who you are outside of your roles
Your moods, sleep or anxiety have shifted in your forties, and you don't feel like yourself
Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
What we help with
-
Burnout, mom guilt and overwhelm
Whether you're juggling kids, a career, aging parents or all three, burnout can creep in quietly. It can look like exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, irritability, numbness or guilt that never lets up. Together we'll look at what's draining you, what your nervous system needs, and how to find more room to breathe.
-
Carrying the full mental load
The planning, the remembering, the scheduling, the worrying. Many women carry the invisible work of keeping a household and a family running, often on top of a job. We'll help you name what you're carrying, set boundaries around it, and find ways to share it.
-
Marriage and partner challenges
Feeling disconnected, arguing about the same things, quiet resentment, or a relationship that changed after kids. We offer individual therapy, so you can understand your patterns, communicate your needs, and decide what you want, whether or not your partner attends.
-
Personal identity and self-worth
"Who am I outside of being a mom, partner or employee?" If you've spent years putting everyone else first, it's easy to lose track of yourself. We help with people-pleasing, self-doubt, setting boundaries and rebuilding a sense of self-worth that doesn't depend on how much you give.
-
Parent–child conflict and dynamics
Power struggles, big emotions and the same fights on repeat can leave the whole home on edge. We support women in understanding their child's emotions, staying steady in hard moments, communicating with teens, and repairing after conflict.
-
Co-parenting and blended families
Separation and new family structures bring their own stress: different parenting styles, new partners, step-children and divided time. We support women parenting through separation, navigating co-parenting, and building a blended family that works.
-
Work stress
Demanding workloads, difficult bosses or coworkers, and the pressure to perform can follow you home and into your sleep. Many women also juggle a career with caregiving, or are returning to work after leave and feeling pulled in every direction. We help you manage stress, set boundaries at work, quiet the self-doubt, and get clear on what you need from your working life.
-
ADHD in women
ADHD can show up as constant overwhelm, forgetfulness, trouble starting tasks, emotional ups and downs, or deep sensitivity to criticism. Many women first recognize their ADHD after having children or in perimenopause, when hormonal changes and a heavier mental load make the old coping strategies stop working. Whether you have a diagnosis or are just starting to wonder, we help you understand how your brain works, ease the shame, regulate big emotions, and build routines that fit your life.
-
Hormones and mood
Perimenopause can bring anxiety, irritability, low mood, brain fog and sleep changes, sometimes years before your period stops. Many women don't realize hormones are part of the picture. We help you make sense of what you're feeling and find ways to cope, alongside any medical care you receive.
How we help
Women carry so much: careers, families, relationships, and the invisible work that keeps it all running. Over time, that weight can show up as burnout, anxiety, resentment, or a sense of losing yourself. Our therapists offer a warm, judgment-free space to slow down, understand what you’re feeling, and reconnect with who you are.
Our approach is warm, relational and trauma-informed. We draw on evidence-based methods such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic and mindfulness-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailored to what you need.

Frequently asked questions
