Have you ever felt conflicted over the various roles you play?

At any point in each day you may be a spouse or partner, a parent, a professional, a sibling, an individual. Each of us plays many different roles. Do you ever feel lost while trying to navigate between these different parts of your self?

Center for the Psychology of Women provides non-judgmental and thought-provoking therapy that deconstructs the effect social, cultural, historical and political factors have on your life. We examine the roles we play in our lives, the transitions we make between these roles, and how it affects the way we think and feel about ourselves.

The same societal forces that work against women also affect men, creating a new kind of pressure. We understand the feminist movement did amazing things for women’s rights, but it has left some men feeling uncertain about their role in a changing world. The Center is a progressive space where men and women can have this conversation, bridge differences, and increase mutual understanding.

Freedom on your terms

Maybe you are interested in exploring how to deal with stress more effectively. Perhaps you want to bring more purpose to your professional life, or figure out how to communicate more effectively with your partner.

Together we will explore your strengths and weaknesses, fostering an environment for personal growth and self-awareness. Throughout therapy, we will work with you in a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect, toward meaningful change and improvement in the quality of life as you define it.
