It's not unusual for women's sexuality to shift. It's also not unusual for women to delay coming out as lesbian, gay, bi, queer, pan, curious, questioning or 'No labels, please!' due to social, religious and family pressures. This is a safe, intimate space (now online & back in person) that allows you to be curious at your own pace, get comfortable in your own skin and begin to explore the meaning of these issues for you. Information on this group and how to participate is at MelissaLesterLCSW.com. (Open to GA residents only due to licensure limitations.)

People who experienced fertility challenges before becoming parents often say that thinking about having more children is too much. Now that we know how fragile it all is, it’s simply too painful to think that we may not become pregnant or sustain a pregnancy. Perhaps we're hesitating to call the fertility clinic. Maybe we're exhausted from trying to hold in tension both the hope of having another child and the fear of more loss. If this sounds familiar, we invite you to consider joining our group of brave parents like you.
Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we have wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Struggles with fertility are traumatic experiences. Maybe we feel removed from friends with children, siblings with children, or parents who may not understand. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?
This is a diverse virtual group for those identifying as female who have experienced trauma. The group is focused on how to cope today with previous trauma. We use elements of IFS, mindfulness, and interpersonal strategies. We meet on alternate Fridays from 9-10:30. We focus on such topics as boundaries, relationships, trust of self and others, managing symptoms (anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, etc.), communication, and self-advocacy. We do not compare pain. Everyone needs a place to feel safe and understood, and we try to make this group just such a place. Contact me if you are interested!

I believe that healing is based in connection. Your life experiences may have disconnected you from yourself for many reasons: depression, anxiety, trauma... My goal is to connect with you where and how you are and to help you build the connections you need to reach your goals. Most importantly, I want to help you connect with and trust yourself. Connection helps build courage to make change. To that end, I do my best to be authentic and transparent, and I focus on collaboration. I ask you to be as honest as possible with me and to be open to that connection. You are my most valuable expert.

I create safe spaces for leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs navigating the intersections of unhealthy relationship patterns, parent wounds, body image, trauma, faith/spirituality, and self-worth. I support leaders in a non-judgmental space by allowing them to release anxiety, develop deeper awareness, and develop how to set and KEEP boundaries to care for themselves and those around them. For clients desiring faith-based treatment, I help them explore their relationship with God and faith where they feel disconnected instead of living free.

My personal and professional experience with mental health began not as a therapist, rather as an advocate for equality in the women’s health community. It is my passion for social justice that has led me to the sacred space in which I can now support others. I trust the power of acceptance and genuineness. I believe that when we are true to self, growth and healing can naturally occur.

In my counseling practice, I prioritize creating a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space for healing. By fostering such an environment, I believe clients feel safe to explore and tap into their inherent potential for leading meaningful lives. Having studied Ayurvedic wellness at the Tanman Ayurvedic Research Centre in India, I take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotion, and spirit. I blend this with evidence-based Western practices to comprehensively support my clients. This integration leads to mental wellness and growth.
This group offers a supportive, no-judgment space for women in their 20s and 30s to process life’s challenges, gain insight, and commit to positive change.

Whether you are seeking support, connection, or tools for personal growth, this group provides a space to share, reflect, and move forward with confidence.

I work with adolescents (10+), women, and gender-queer individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

Many women in mid-life are managing work of some type, caretaking of children and/or aging parents, maintaining relationships with partners and friends, dealing with physical and emotional changes due to peri/menopause, and searching for their own individual fulfillment. Contemplating meaning and purpose in life is a fundamental aspect of middle adulthood. WISDOM is a biweekly therapy group for those middle adulthood (roughly ages 40-65) who want to share experiences, strategies, and mutual support.

Women's Issues Support Groups
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
