Who We Are
Alice Porter
Hello, my name is Alice! I am a clinical therapist at Athena Women’s Health. I joined the AWH team because of a shared passion for empowering women through trauma-informed mental health care. I strive to provide compassionate, woman-centered therapy designed to support, educate, and uplift women on their path to healing.
I specialize in working with women navigating complex emotional and psychological challenges that are unique to a woman centered experience. This includes prepartum and postpartum anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, infertility, birth trauma, interpersonal relationship violence, narcissistic abuse recovery, body image issues, and divorce. I also work closely with women experiencing anxiety, depression, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder and more!
I understand the vulnerability it takes to share your story, and I strive to create a safe, affirming space where women feel truly heard and supported. My holistic approach to therapy recognizes the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit—because true healing comes from nurturing all aspects of your well-being.
Together, we’ll work to build resilience, restore balance, and help you move forward with strength and confidence.
In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, two cats, and dog. I love spending time in nature whether it be going for walks at the park or adventuring on a long hike in the Appalachian Mountains. I can also be found tackling a home improvement project, cooking new recipes, and watching a good Rom-Com movie! `
Tori Lockhart
Hi there! I’m Tori, a clinical social worker at Athena Women’s Health in Lexington, KY. I specialize in working with teens and young adults, helping them navigate the unique challenges that come with this stage of life. I’m especially passionate about supporting women and creating a warm, welcoming space where you can explore issues that impact your mental and emotional well-being. My areas of focus include sexism, intimate partner violence, LGBTQ+ identity and support, gender roles, relationship struggles, perinatal loss, and post-partum depression and related disorders. I’m an advocate for women’s rights and take a humanistic, woman-centered approach to my work.
In therapy, I use a mix of approaches like CBT/DBT, ART, and IFS, always tailoring treatment to fit your needs. I’m also committed to providing gender-affirming, LGBTQ+, trans, and BIPOC-inclusive care. Alongside the areas I mentioned, I also work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and many more.
My goal is to empower you—to help you feel heard, seen, and supported as you build the tools you need to thrive. Therapy with me is about creating a space where growth, strength, and resilience are always within reach.
Sara Kopach
Meet Sara, medical assistant, wife, mom of 2 boys, and nature lover. She has a passion for helping others, with over 10 years of Medical Assisting experience. She went into the military after graduating High School to become a medic because she wanted to help people and serve our country. She served in the US Air Force Reserves for 6 years as a Medical Technician. As a civilian, she completed a Medical Assistant course, as well as worked as an MA at a Bariatric Clinic, and a Methadone Clinic.
“I have always worked in places where I have a passion for what they do, and what better way to do that than to work at a Clinic that’s sole focus is on Women and women struggles. As a mom of 2 teenagers, I have personally experienced a lot of struggles that women deal with in today’s society. I would like to see Athena become THE place in Lexington to women to come to as a safe space.
