Elevating Women’s Mental Health + Wellness with Breakthrough, Transformative Care

We strive to create a safe and affirming space where everyone is welcome, respected, and supported in their healing, empowerment and growth.
Welcome to EXPANDED
This practice was founded with one, simple mission: to support, empower and heal women and individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB) through world-class mental health and wellness services.
Today women are struggling more than ever as society continues to expect more, but provide less. Whether you are a parent, professional, partner or all of the above, it is likely that you have experienced the weight of inequitable treatment at work, in healthcare, as a parent or in your relationships. These injustices, ranging from micro aggressions and mild gender bias to crippling emotional or physical abuse, can lead to or exacerbate existing mental health issues like anxiety, PTSD and depression.
At EXPANDED. we are dedicated to supporting you through every struggle and season of life through perinatal and postpartum care, parenting support, perimenopausal services and more.
EXPANDED was designed through the lens of the female experience to do better for those who identify with women’s health issues. This means providing high quality, revolutionary treatment in a safe, authentic and comforting space with medical providers who see you, hear you, and understand you.
While our clinic focuses on women’s mental health and wellness, we also warmly welcome men who are allies and supporters of female-focused spaces. We recognize that men can play an essential role in fostering health, equity, and empowerment in the lives of women and nonbinary individuals.

The EXPANDED Philosophy
Welcome to EXPANDED Women’s Health + Wellness, where therapy is personal, transformation feels possible, and every step of the process is designed with you in mind.
We work according to a modern philosophy of medicine and mental health - one that views individuals not defined by a diagnosis or behaviors, but as the whole, vibrant, and unique individual you are—a student of your own mind and body with a story to tell.
We believe therapy should feel as good as it is effective. That’s why trust, psychological safety, and self-care are the foundation of everything we do. At EXPANDED Women’s Health + Wellness, every session is a time for you to feel deeply cared for, truly heard, and gently challenged to grow. You’ll leave with new insights, resources, and tools that feel as practical as they are meaningful, helping you stay inspired and connected between visits.
The EXPANDED philosophy is rooted in a bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework that blends evidence-based science with the wisdom of the mind and body. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but avoiding them only keeps us stuck (i.e., experimental avoidance).
Instead, we help you walk through those discomforts—at your own pace—by cultivating safety, clarity, and flexibility along the way.
This process is about more than just resolving what feels heavy or hard. It’s about discovering what’s possible: a life of peace, purpose, and possibility. Throughout your EXPANDED experience, you’ll replace old patterns with new perspectives and step confidently into a healthier, more fulfilled version of yourself.
Patient Reviews
“This experience was unlike any other I have encountered. I have gone through traditional therapy, coaching, hypnotherapy, yoga teacher training and meditation for 30 plus years and this went beyond that. It helped me find a safe place within myself, hold space for myself and others and uncover this unconscious power within my mind and soul that I didn't know existed. It helped me to let go and to forgive and to open that space up for new and positive opportunities. I am so thankful I was able to experience this.”

“Gianna's EXPANDED method dives deep into the layers of our programming as human beings. This method is a one-of-its-kind in the industry, it's highly effective and potent, and it will most certainly transform individuals from the inside out. Gianna herself is a stand-out woman who is meant to do this work, and she makes everyone feel completely comfortable to open up, share, and co-create in the journey together. I am so blessed to have gone through EXPANDED and would recommend it to anyone! Wildly different, wildly transformative, wildly EXPANSIVE.”

“I've worked with Sasha for several years, and during some of the hardest moments in my life so far. Sasha is warm, kind, diligent, responsive, and holistic in her approach to healing. She provides a safe and non-judgemental space for me to share updates, ask questions, explore my symptoms, and work collaboratively on my treatment plan. I am always impressed by her depth of clinical knowledge, and her creativity in approaching my overall wellness. I highly recommend working with Sasha if you're in search of a holistic, comprehensive, and integrative approach to your mental health!”
“The profound effect of Expanded was the process of going inward to discover what it is that I want. I think having a variety of tools and methods to pull from and access was really helpful and well-rounded. It felt like it was multi-functional which was really amazing compared to other models that feel one dimensional in terms of tools and processes. I love Gianna's thoughtful questions and visualizations that help provide such clarity and deeper self-connection.”
“I wasn't just talking/unloading baggage or even looking to find ways to grow and solve things myself. There was something so safe and pure and open about this experience that is hard to define. It fundamentally opened things up inside me that I didn't know were there and I am so grateful for the experience.”
“The whole process was unbelievable. It dove into my subconscious and let me experience myself and my life through a whole different perspective. I could see and feel things vividly that I didn't even remember I had forgotten. It gave me tools to combat blocks (lack of confidence, insecurity, avoidance) that I am still using. The whole experience felt safe and at the end of each session I learned something new and important to take with me into my life. More importantly it stayed with me and I am still utilizing these tools and learnings daily.”
