Women’s Issues Therapy in Los Angeles
A supportive space for women navigating stress, identity, relationships, overwhelm, and emotional weight.
Women often carry invisible emotional and mental loads — managing careers, relationships, family responsibilities, social expectations, and personal identity all at once. This balancing act can be exhausting, and many women feel pressure to keep it all together even when the emotional weight becomes overwhelming.
If you’re experiencing burnout, chronic stress, people-pleasing patterns, difficulty setting boundaries, or a sense that you’re giving more than you receive, you’re not alone. Women often feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to prioritize their own needs without guilt.
Women’s issues therapy provides a calm, compassionate space to reconnect with yourself, identify what you need, and build emotional tools that help you feel grounded, confident, and supported. While Felicia works with clients of all genders, she specializes deeply in the experiences of women and the unique challenges they face.
A Supportive, Grounded Approach to Women’s Emotional Well-Being

The emotional experiences of women are often shaped by cultural pressures, societal expectations, and family roles. Women are frequently expected to:
Be accommodating
Avoid conflict
Care for others before themselves
Balance work and home seamlessly

Maintain a sense of strength, even when overwhelmed
These expectations can create an internal pressure cooker, leading to:
Burnout
Anxiety
Depression
Self-doubt
Resentment
Loss of identity
Fear of disappointing others
Feeling emotionally exhausted
Whether you’re struggling with boundaries, relationship challenges, career stress, caregiving responsibilities, or the mental load of balancing everything at once, women’s issues therapy in Los Angeles provides space for you to breathe, reflect, and restore.
You deserve support that centers your experience.
