Women's Counseling Lead Clinician

Katie uses a feminist approach to understand how the roles we take on (or are put into) have an effect on our anxiety, stress, overwhelm, irritability - all of it! She takes a REALISTIC approach at how to place some of the focus back onto you with coping skills that are easy to implement into your already busy life to show yourself - YOU matter too!

Then, digging into understanding more about you - through an attachment theory lens and cognitive behavioral therapy or through processing trauma using EMDR.

Lindsay has a passion for working with women as they navigate challenging life adjustments, such as mother hood, relational distress, career shifts, divorce and divorce adjustment, co-parenting, and fertility. As women we are taught at a very young age to care for those around us and leave little to no room for ourselves. Lindsay loves to give her clients the space to show up fully: emotions, grief, celebrations, challenges and all.

To speak, and be heard.

To find your voice and advocate for yourself while still having compassion for those around you.

Joanna Dixon, LMFT

As a wife, mother of four, and business owner, I understand the challenges women face in balancing roles and well-being. My approach helps you tune into your body’s natural rhythms—recognizing how hormonal shifts impact mood, mental health, and daily life.

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, perimenopause, or life post-menopause, I guide you in working with your body, not against it. Through evidence-based strategies and a holistic approach, we’ll help you embrace who you are and create healthier relationships—with yourself and those around you.

Julie Flannagan, LMFT

Being in my early 50’s I have experienced many changes in my body hormonally. I have experienced childbirth, miscarriages, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), Perimenopause and finally menopause. I feel that my personal experience has given me the ability to relate and have compassion for women who are currently experiencing whatever stage of life they are in.

I use a holistic approach to treat the whole woman. We are a lot more than our hormones. I also use a strength-based approach to empower women through their changing bodies. Honestly, women are truly superheroes in what our bodies can do at any stage of life. I would love to work with you to unleash your strengths!

Jo’s Experience

As a mother of 4, business owner, and seasoned clinician, Joanna claims to know just enough to know that she is NOT an expert in the complex issues we all face daily as women. Her honesty and vulnerability with her experiences, however, offers space to show up as flawed and human, first.

From teaching in small group settings, nursing students at a college level, hosting trainings for women about reproductive health, trauma, and parenting across psychosocial and developmental stages, and helping women navigate the complexities of being in relationship with a partner with sexual (or other) addictions. Joanna offers an array of experience in the multitude of issues women face. (never mind the occasional hot flash that may occur)

Using Attachment based knowledge through her training as an EFT therapist (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Trained with Kevin Leman’s “Birth Order,” Dr. Julie Holland’s “Moody Bitches” psychotropic medication and sexual responsiveness, and with integration of personality theory through the Enneagram, she brings wisdom, experience, and honesty to the table to assist in navigating where you are and getting to where you want to be.
