The time is now.
Let’s take care of you!

We help people of all gender identities and expressions live more fully. 

What will your life look like when you can feel joy again?

People around you may be telling you to stop worrying, or to stop feeling so down. Even YOU wish you could just stop worrying and stop the feelings of sadness. You may be beating yourself up for not being able to change the way you feel. You may be feeling alone or misunderstood.

You are not alone and you don’t need to beat yourself up. We have all been there, and we want to help.

Together, we can kick sadness, constant worrying, and toxic relationships to the curb. We can help you regain your sense of confidence, and help you experience more laughter, more optimism, and deeper, more healthy relationships!

Hi, I am Mabel and I am the founder of WTI.

mabel-yiu

I started this practice with the goal of helping people who are experiencing anxiety and depression, relationship issues, and school and career concerns.  Over time, I have recruited clinicians who are also very passionate about this cause and can understand what our clients are going through. We have personally experienced the impact of depression, anxiety, work stress, motherhood stress, and more. We have faced our fair share of up-and-downs, and have triumphed over many challenges. Our experiences propel us to find solutions for ourselves and for other individuals on similar journeys. At Women’s Therapy Institute, we understand that our society creates different expectations for women, girls, and people of all gender identities, and therefore we all handle anxiety, depression, relationships, and career stress a little differently.

We want to help you feel better so you can have the relationships, career, and the life you deserve.

How We’ve Helped…

My mommy is less stressed and happy now.

“My mommy is loving woman. She is more active and improved now. She used to yell and never laugh, now she makes projects and watches movies with me now. She is less stressed and happy.”

—M.M. (9yo daughter of a 38yo client)

You make me feel really comfortable.

“My father died 19 years and I did not want to talk about this with anyone. You make me feel really comfortable and thank you for helping me process his passing. I am now able to put his pictures up on my wall and watch some of the old videos of him. Our family can finally celebrate holidays again with new tradition, and this after 19 years of not celebrating!”

—M.H.

Mabel is warm, caring and very professional.

“I came in because I had some in-law issues to deal with. My in-laws are very difficult people and Mabel helped me cope with the stress and find ways to deal with their antics. Mabel is warm, caring and very professional. I highly recommend counseling with Mabel.”

—C.D.

I’m now able to be the parent I want to be.

“Thank you for working with me when I was having issues with my ex (husband) in co-parenting issues. I have learn a lot of in how to set healthy boundaries, maintain a parental relationship with him where my kids can benefit. I feel that I am now able to be the parent I want to be without being affect by him. I am happier and my kids are happier because of this.”

—B.L.

I never failed to leave with a new tool for coping...

“…After 7 months of regular sessions, I can say with certainty that my sessions were exactly what I needed in order to tackle my life long internal struggles with anxiety, depression, guilt, and lack of self care…I never failed to leave with a new tool for coping, as well as a new outlook on whatever issue I had entered the session with…”

My happy and caring daughter is finally back and for that I thank you.

“Before she visits with you, D was always moody and angry, doesn’t sleep very much and very stressed. There has been such a great change after D started seeing you. D is much happier and going out more. She is having a much better relationship with her own daughter. My happy and caring daughter is finally back and for that I thank you.”
