Advancing Women's Health

This treatment plan is intended to offer education and support to women across the lifespan.  We recognize women’s unique needs, including offering a holistic and integrative approach to mental wellness. This track looks at mental health in relation to physical health, reproduction, relationships, including parenting, and works in collaboration with your physical health team and/or psychiatrist to create positive, lasting outcomes. 

 

Intersectional feminist theory and a sex-positive lens combat the impacts of sexism, misogyny, and misandry toward harmony of existence for women.
