Therapy for Women & Mothers in Evanston, IL
Compassionate, nonjudgmental support through the evolving chapters of womanhood.
You carry a lot, and it’s okay to need support.
Women often move through life balancing multiple roles: caregiver, professional, partner, friend. You're expected to hold it all together, even when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning who “you” are beneath the responsibilities.
We work with women across the lifespan: those who are facing major life shifts, managing everyday stress, or just feeling disconnected from themselves. We offer support that is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in the belief that you deserve to be heard without judgment, without pressure, and without needing to explain why it feels so hard.
OUR APPROACH
We take a relational, individualized approach to therapy, rooted in warmth, honesty, and clinical expertise.
Our work is collaborative—partnering with our clients on their journey—and grounded in the belief that women deserve a space where they’re encouraged to prioritize their mental health, reconnect with themselves, and build resilience.
You may be navigating the demands of motherhood, the complexity of midlife, or simply feeling stretched too thin. We meet you where you are with respect, curiosity, and compassion.
In therapy, we focus on:
Naming what’s really going on—beneath the overwhelm, responsibility, or perfectionism
Processing layered emotions like grief, guilt, resentment, or fear
Building tools to manage stress and reconnect with your values and identity
Supporting your relationships—without losing sight of your own needs
Helping you reimagine your life with more clarity, balance, and self-trust
You don’t have to push through or keep carrying it all without help. Therapy is a space to slow down, be seen, and move forward with more clarity and self-compassion.
Support for Mothers & the Perinatal Experience
Motherhood brings real emotional and psychological changes. Whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or managing the daily demands of parenting, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself—even if you also feel grateful.
We provide specialized support for:
Anxiety or depression during or after pregnancy
Birth trauma or pregnancy loss
Identity shifts and changes in self-image
Relationship stress following childbirth
Navigating unmet expectations or complicated emotions
Returning to work—or questioning if you want to
The emotional load of caregiving and mental overload
Navigating Midlife
Midlife often comes with a lot of change. You might be raising teens, supporting aging parents, managing a demanding job, or navigating shifts in your relationship. Hormonal changes, burnout, and questions about what’s next are also common during this stage.
We help women navigate:
Emotional overwhelm and chronic stress
Perimenopause and post-menopause symptoms
Shifting dynamics in marriage or long-term partnerships
Caring for elderly or ill parents
Preparing for or adjusting to an empty nest
Grieving unmet expectations or ambiguous loss
Reconnecting with identity, passions, and goals
Finding balance between caring for others and caring for yourself

Frequently asked questions
-
Not at all. Many of the women we work with come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—not because there’s a crisis or clear diagnosis. Therapy can be a space for growth, reflection, and support during any stage of life.
-
We get it. Time is limited, and your needs often fall to the bottom of the list. That’s exactly why therapy matters. We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to make care more accessible. Even one hour a week dedicated to your own well-being can make a meaningful difference.
If any of this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone and that help is available. Talking to someone who understands can make a big difference. Schedule a consultation here.
-
Yes. These are exactly the kinds of issues that therapy can help you explore and work through. You don’t have to minimize what you’re feeling just because it’s hard to name or doesn’t seem “serious enough.” If it’s impacting your day-to-day life, it’s worth addressing.
-
Yes. We offer support for women at every stage of the reproductive journey—including those facing infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth trauma. These experiences are often deeply isolating, and we’re here to help you process the pain, find support, and move through it with care and compassion.
