Peri/Menopause Support
Perimenopause and menopause affect more than the body. Therapy can help you navigate the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that often accompany this stage of life.
Book NowPerimenopause and menopause are not just physical events.
The hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause can profoundly affect mood, identity, relationships, and sense of self. Yet most mental health conversations about this season focus almost entirely on the physical symptoms, leaving the emotional and psychological experience largely unnamed.
If you are finding that your mental health has shifted in ways that feel connected to where you are hormonally, you are not imagining it. And you deserve support that actually understands this.
Do any of these feel familiar?
These experiences are real, valid, and treatable. You do not have to simply endure this season. You can be supported through it.
- Your mood is shifting in ways that feel unfamiliar or hard to predict
- You have less tolerance for things that did not used to bother you, and are not necessarily looking to go back to the old version of you
- Anxiety has increased or feels different from how it used to feel
- You feel a loss of identity or a sense that you are not sure who you are in this new chapter
- Sleep changes are affecting your emotional wellbeing
- You are grieving a version of yourself
- Your relationships feel strained or harder
- You feel dismissed when you try to talk about how this is affecting you
How peri/menopause therapy works.
We start by understanding and deeply listening to what you are experiencing, and how it is affecting your day-to-day life, and sense of self. Nothing is too small or too complicated to bring.
We work with both the emotional and psychological dimensions of what you are going through, including mood changes, anxiety, grief, identity shifts, and relationship impacts
We draw from different therapies including IFS for identity work, ACT for anxiety and values, somatic approaches for nervous system regulation, and EMDR where past experiences are shaping the present.
Over time you will feel more grounded, more at home in this chapter, and more able to move through it with intention rather than just survival.
Questions people ask us about peri/menopausal therapy.
Yes. While the hormonal shifts are real and medical support may also be appropriate, the emotional and psychological impacts of perimenopause and menopause are not just byproducts of hormones. They are experiences that respond well to therapy, particularly approaches that work with the nervous system, identity, and the specific kind of grief that this season often brings.
Unfortunately, yes. Peri/menopause mental health is significantly under-discussed and under-treated. Many people have had the experience of bringing these symptoms to a doctor or a therapist and not being taken seriously. We take it seriously here.
Yes. Perimenopause and menopause can affect relationships significantly, and some of our team members work with couples navigating this together, including the communication and relational shifts that this season often brings.
