Perimenopause, Menopause, and Postmenopause
Are you seeking support through the transitions of menopause?
Menopause is a significant life change that can bring emotional, physical, and psychological challenges. Many face this transition without the support they deserve.
You don’t have to go through this alone. Our therapists are here to help you navigate the complex shifts that accompany this stage of life.
You might be experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, lower or no libido, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, changes in orgasms (ability, quantity, quality), sleep disturbances, heart palpitations, or any of the other 30+ symptoms of menopause. Menopausal symptoms can affect not only your day-to-day functioning but also your most important relationships.
We understand the weight of these changes and are here to help you find balance, clarity, and optimism through it all.
Wherever you are on your menopause journey, we are here to support you. This is a space where you can redefine what it means to live, love, and thrive in your body, where you can honor each sexual debut, transformation, and chapter in your life without apology.
Finding Your Way
We also understand how daunting and difficult navigating the medical field can be. We will collaborate with you and encourage you to advocate for your wellbeing to your physicians. We may refer you to trusted pelvic-floor physical therapists or other specialists. We can brainstorm behavioral interventions as well as potential lifestyle enhancements that may help with symptom relief. Most importantly, we will listen and hear you. And we will believe you when you say that you no longer feel like yourself. We want to help you get back to being that person again — or maybe a new-and-improved version!
While you are finding your way, remember: this change is something to be celebrated! And this journey can be an amazing transformation into the next being that we are meant to become! One of wisdom, new exploration, adaptation, and focusing our energy on what matters most.
