Dr. Constance Peterson, a female psychologist, meets with female patient early in the film and they briefly discuss psychoanalysis. I believe this is the only conversation between women.

Yes, Dr. Petersen speaking with Mrs. Carmichael about psychoanalysis is the only qualifying conversation. Mrs. Carmichael is not a significant character and we don't see her again. Dr. Petersen later speaks with Dr. Brulov's housekeeper, but they only talk about men, and the housekeeper doesn't have a name.
