Common Concerns We Support
Women in perimenopause and menopause often seek therapy for a wide range of interconnected concerns, including:
- Mood changes, irritability, and emotional reactivity
- Increased anxiety or feelings of overwhelm
- Sleep disruption and fatigue
- Changes in identity, confidence, and sense of self
- Difficulty regulating emotions during times of stress
- Sexual health concerns, including changes in desire, body image, and intimacy
- Strain on relationships at home or work
- Managing the emotional toll of chronic health conditions that may flare during this stage
- Feeling stretched thin while coordinating care with multiple medical providers
These experiences can feel isolating, especially when they’re misunderstood or minimized. You don’t have to navigate them alone.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our therapists take a holistic, affirming approach to women’s health, recognizing the deep connection between physical changes and emotional well-being. In therapy, we work collaboratively to help you:
- Develop coping strategies such as pacing, energy management, and nervous system regulation
- Process grief, frustration, or loss related to physical or hormonal changes
- Address anxiety and mood shifts with evidence-based tools
- Explore changes in intimacy, sexuality, and body image in a safe, nonjudgmental space
- Strengthen boundaries and clarify personal priorities
- Reconnect with your sense of empowerment, autonomy, and self-trust
Many women describe this phase of life as a turning point—one that invites reflection, boundary-setting, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters. Therapy can support you in moving through this transition with intention and self-compassion.
