WOMEN'S ISSUES
Women carry multiplicity — layers, moods, and inner voices that shift across time and context. Parts of us move into the foreground while other dimensions recede, influencing what feels possible, risky, or available at different points in our lives. Together they make up a kind of inner conversation, not always harmonious, but deeply alive.
This inner kaleidoscope can feel expansive, but it can also be disorienting. You may move through the world capable and vivacious, while privately wrestling with competing feelings or desires inside.
For women in NYC, the pressures can feel particularly intense: the pace of work, the pressure to maintain beauty, the complexity of balancing ambition with partnership or motherhood. Some are navigating postpartum shifts, where identity lags behind the body’s changes — often described as perinatal mental health challenges or shifts in maternal identity. Others are raising children while trying to hold onto a version of themselves that feels increasingly distant.
These inner tensions arise not just from external roles but from internalized expectations — ideas about what being a good partner, friend, daughter, mother, artist, or professional should look like. Therapy gives you a place to examine which expectations you want to keep, which you've outgrown, and which were never yours to begin with.

Much of the work is about recognizing which parts of you have been working too hard, and which have been waiting quietly for their turn. Some women discover that beneath their competence lies a reservoir of unspoken grief. Others find a more assertive or erotic part that has been pushed aside. Others encounter a creative hunger that was dormant for years. Therapy doesn’t decide which part should lead — it simply creates the conditions for you to hear them.
