Our program strives to address the unique needs and challenges facing women and girls moving through life's different stages in this era of rapidly shifting roles and expectations. Our program can help women with specific needs related to stress, depression, life changes, relationship difficulties, sexual traumas, compulsive behaviors, pregnancy, reproductive loss, infertility, and other issues.

When an individual contacts our program staff, a therapist will talk with her about the nature and history of her problems, help her identify specific goals, and outline a treatment program tailored to her individual needs and circumstances.
