Recognizing depression in oneself can be challenging, especially without a prior history. Many women acknowledge their depression, yet struggle with next steps, as symptoms can vary widely—from persistent sadness and fatigue to severe disruptions in sleep and weight. Additionally, depression often manifests through symptoms like irritability, loss of interest, and physical discomfort, affecting daily life and long-term well-being.
At Women’s Therapy Clinic, we understand that while these experiences are deeply personal, they are not uncommon. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore these feelings and to create a specific plan for healing to occur.
Together with specific supplements or medication, when appropriate, therapy has been proven to significantly alleviate these symptoms, guiding you toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. You are not alone in this journey; let us help you navigate through these challenges with professional care and compassionate understanding.

Anxiety is not just a common mental health issue—it’s a pervasive experience that impacts millions of women, yet often goes undiscussed. This silence can magnify feelings of isolation and misunderstanding.
At Women’s Therapy Clinic, we recognize that anxiety can manifest through a spectrum of symptoms, from mild unease to severe panic, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. Our therapy sessions are designed to delve into the multifaceted nature of anxiety, helping women to understand its origins, recognize its various presentations, and learn effective strategies to overcome it.
By focusing on personalized therapeutic approaches, we empower women to navigate their anxiety with confidence, developing resilience against future stressors and enhancing capacity for joy and well-being.

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy or during the postpartum period are often left unspoken, overshadowed by the expectation that pregnancy should be a time of joy. Many women silently struggle with emotional disturbances during this critical period, feeling isolated due to the societal pressure to appear happy.
Often the guilt from conflicting feelings, especially if the pregnancy was long-awaited, keeps women from seeking help. It’s crucial to understand that these emotional responses are symptoms of a deeper issue and not reflections of a woman’s desire for motherhood. Recognizing and addressing these feelings through professional support lead to healthier outcomes for both mother and baby.

Comments like, “It’s alright, you will have another one,” can be inadvertently hurtful, highlighting the need for more compassionate understanding.

Infertility affects millions globally, extending beyond the inability to conceive to encompass a deeply emotional and psychologically stressful journey. Recent studies emphasize the significance of a holistic approach that integrates fertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with robust mental health support and comprehensive educational resources.
This integrated strategy not only enhances success rates, but also significantly improves emotional well-being, guiding individuals through the complexities of infertility with informed and compassionate care.

Many women face challenging relationships that can profoundly affect their mental health, particularly when communication fails and psychological abuse enters the dynamic. Whether it’s a troubled parent-child dynamic, spousal conflict, or difficult in-laws, ineffective communication can lead to deep emotional scars.
Psychological abuse, often subtle and insidious, is a common yet frequently overlooked form of mistreatment that can lead to long-term mental health issues, including PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The journey through divorce, another pivotal and painful life event, can further exacerbate these feelings, leading to a profound sense of loss and vulnerability.
However, with the right therapeutic support, women can develop the skills needed to navigate these trials, leading to significant self-discovery and empowerment. As they learn to understand and reshape their relationships, they gain a clearer sense of self and a renewed vision for their future.

We work with people struggling with a variety of issues from life transitions, to postpartum depression, to relationship issues. Please see our full list of therapy services.
We work with people struggling with the following issues.
We all know how hard transitions can be in our lives, particularly if they are unpleasant ones. We are, as they say, creatures of habit, and when an event comes about that forces change, it can be challenging to say the least.
Depression symptoms can range from mild to severe and typically get worse if left untreated. Numerous studies have shown that medication and therapy together are the most beneficial to those suffering from depression.
Most women experience some kind of anxiety at some time in their lives. Even though it is the most common mental illness to experience, most people do not talk about it.
Postpartum depression can feel very scary and overwhelming and many women feel a tremendous sense of shame and guilt for having these feelings, especially if infertility is an issue.
Women who have experienced depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder before or during pregnancy, and women who have experienced a traumatic labor and delivery may be at a higher risk for postpartum depression or anxiety.
Sometimes women do not want to discuss their feelings because pregnancy is supposed to be a “joyful time” and they are embarrassed that they will be judged. To make things even harder, women who have struggled to get pregnant and really want the baby, may feel extremely guilty about these feelings.
If you and your partner are struggling to communicate effectively or feeling disconnected, marriage and couples counseling can be a transformative investment in your relationship’s future.
The loss of a baby, at any stage, can be an overwhelmingly sad experience. A woman who has experienced this type of loss knows the joy of becoming attached to her unborn child, and then to experience the loss of that child is usually devastating for a mother.
Infertility has become an all too common experience for many women. Fortunately, people are beginning to open up about their experience and there is not so much secrecy regarding infertility. Even so, many women feel alone in their struggle to have a child.
Psychological abuse is widely overlooked and often goes unidentified, despite the fact that it is the most common form of intimate partner violence. Psychological abuse causes long-term damage to a victim’s mental health and subtle, psychological abuse has been shown to be more harmful than overt psychological abuse or direct aggression. Psychological abuse is also an important indicator of physical violence and it is often a precursor to physical abuse.
What woman has not struggled with weight loss and eating issues at some point in her life? Sadly, almost all women can relate to struggling with their bodies and their relationship with food. Anorexia, bulimia, and overeating are the three most common issues women face in their struggle with food.
Divorce can be one of the most painful and challenging times in a woman’s life. There is often a sense of shock after the decision has been made to separate. For many women, this is one of the most vulnerable times in her life.
Some relationships are easier than others. Most women have experienced a difficult or challenging relationship at some point in their lives. This experience is especially painful when it is one of a woman’s primary relationships.
We all fear that one day we will get the terrible news that we have an illness of some kind. Shock, disbelief, fear, sadness, denial, and feeling overwhelmed can be just a few of the emotions people experience when they are diagnosed with an illness.
*Postpartum depression or PPD affects 15-20% of new mothers and can begin gradually or very suddenly at any point during the first year after you have given birth. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, the following: excessive worry or anxiety, irritability, feeling overwhelmed, feeling sad, feeling guilty, hopelessness, difficulty sleeping, excessive fatigue, feeling uneasy, indifference toward the baby, loss of concentration, loss of interest, feeling isolated or alone, or a change in appetite. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, remember that you are not alone. PPD affects everyone in the family, including your baby, so it is important to seek help if you are experiencing any of these symptoms beyond two weeks postpartum.
