Menopause Mental Health

The unique mental health issues that women navigating menopause and perimenopause are easily dismissed or rendered invisible. Psychoanalytic therapy can be particularly beneficial for addressing the mental health challenges associated with menopause, such as anxiety, depression, and mood swings. This form of therapy explores the unconscious processes and emotional responses that may arise during this significant life transition, which can be lonely as we mourn the loss of our former selves at the same time that we attempt to navigate identity and body image shifts and changes unique to this phase of life.
