Therapy for Women

You hold a lot together.

More than most people see.

There’s the version of you that shows up — capable, present, reliable, getting it done.

And then there’s the version that quietly wonders: when does someone show up for me?

Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, a body that feels unfamiliar, a life that’s drifted from who you thought you’d be — or simply a heaviness you can’t quite name — you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

At penney murphy & associates, we understand what women carry. Not just the clinical picture, but the full weight of it: the mental load, the invisible labour, the pressure to hold it all together while somehow also being okay.

We see you. And we know how to help.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You might be in the right place if…

You’re the one everyone leans on — and you’re running on empty
You look like you have it together, but inside things feel fragile, foggy, or flat
Anxiety has become your default setting and you’re exhausted by it
Your relationship is suffering and you’re not sure if it’s you, them, or both
You’re somewhere in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and something has quietly shifted — in your mood, your sense of self, your energy, your body
You’ve been putting your own needs last for so long you’re not sure what they are anymore
You want more than just getting through — you want to actually feel like yourself again

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support. You just have to be ready for something to change.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

What brings women to penney murphy & associates

Women come to us at every stage of life and for a wide range of reasons. Some know exactly what they need help with. Others just know something isn’t right.

Our therapists specialize in supporting women through:

Anxiety & Chronic Worry
The kind that doesn’t switch off. The 3am spiral. The what-ifs. The sense that something bad is always around the corner, even when life looks fine from the outside.

Burnout & Overwhelm
When the exhaustion goes deeper than tired. When you’ve been running on empty for so long that you’ve forgotten what full feels like.

Depression & Low Mood
The flatness. The disconnection. The going-through-the-motions feeling that’s hard to explain and even harder to shake.

Relationship Challenges
Whether you’re facing disconnection, communication breakdown, betrayal, or simply a relationship that’s drifted — we can help. If couples therapy feels like the right next step, we have a dedicated space for that too — [Couples & Relationship Therapy →]

Family & Parenting Stress
When the people you love most are struggling, you feel it too. Whether you’re worried about your child’s anxiety, watching a teenager pull away, trying to reach a teenager who’s shut down, co-parenting through tension, or simply trying to hold your family together through something hard — the weight of it lands squarely on you. We work with women who are carrying their family’s emotional load, and we also offer dedicated support for kids, teens, and parents when the whole family needs to be seen.

Life Transitions
Divorce. Career change. Loss. An empty nest. A new baby. A birthday that hit harder than expected. Transitions — even good ones — can shake your sense of who you are.

Identity & Self-Worth
The inner critic. People-pleasing. Never feeling like enough. The slow erosion of confidence that can happen when life has asked too much of you for too long.

Trauma & Its Aftermath
Old wounds that still show up in new situations. Patterns you can’t seem to break. Reactions that feel bigger than the moment. We offer trauma-informed care including EMDR for women ready to heal what’s been held for too long.

Perinatal Mental Health
Pregnancy, postpartum, and everything in between. Visit our dedicated [Perinatal Support →] page for more.

Perimenopause & Menopause
The mood shifts, the anxiety, the identity questions, the feeling that your own body has become unfamiliar. Visit our dedicated [Perimenopause & Menopause →] page for more.

WHY PMA

Why women choose penney murphy & associates

We understand the full arc.
From your mid-20s through midlife and beyond, our team has worked with women at every stage. We don’t see a diagnosis — we see a whole person, in a specific season of life, with a specific story.

Credential depth you can trust.
Our team includes Registered Psychologists, Registered Social Workers, and Registered Counsellors – all Master’s-level or PhD therapists — the kind of credentials that matter for insurance reimbursement and, more importantly, for the quality of care you receive.

A boutique experience, not a production line.
Your therapist will know your name, remember what you said last time, and actually ask about it. You will never feel like a number here.

20+ years of making a difference.
PMA has been supporting women — and their families — in Saskatoon for over two decades. We’ve walked alongside thousands of clients through some of the hardest and most important seasons of their lives.

A space that feels like it was made for you.
Our Stonebridge clinic is calm, private, and deliberately designed to feel like a refuge — not a waiting room. The moment you walk in, you should feel it.
