FAQs About Perimenopause and Menopause Counseling
What is perimenopause and menopause counseling?
This type of counseling focuses on helping women manage the emotional and psychological effects of hormonal changes during midlife. Therapy provides support for mood changes, anxiety, depression, and identity transitions related to perimenopause and menopause.
Why do I feel so emotional during perimenopause?
Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact mood and emotional regulation. Counseling helps you understand these changes, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience.
Is therapy right for me if I’m also on hormone therapy or seeing a medical provider?
Yes. Counseling complements medical treatment beautifully. We often collaborate with healthcare providers to support the emotional side of perimenopause and menopause.
How do your therapists specialize in perimenopause and menopause?
Our therapists are trained in reproductive and hormonal mental health and bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to care. Many have worked extensively with women during midlife transitions and understand the intersection between emotional and physical health.
Supporting Women Through the Emotional and Physical Changes of Midlife
Perimenopause and menopause can bring a wide range of emotional and physical changes that often take women by surprise. For generations, these transitions were rarely discussed — many women were left to navigate the symptoms in silence. At She Blooms Mental Health, that changes here.
Our clinical therapy team provides specialized counseling for women experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal mood changes, helping you understand what’s happening in your body and mind while supporting your emotional well-being. We offer therapy in Franklin, TN, Little Rock, AR, and through secure online sessions for women across Tennessee and Arkansas.
Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, marked by fluctuating hormones that can affect mood, energy, and mental health. These changes can feel confusing, even alarming, especially when they come unexpectedly.
Common symptoms women discuss in therapy include:
-
Mood swings, irritability, or emotional sensitivity
-
Anxiety or depression during hormonal shifts
-
Brain fog, forgetfulness, or difficulty concentrating
-
Sleep disturbances or fatigue
-
Loss of libido or changes in intimacy
-
Identity shifts, body image concerns, or feelings of grief
At She Blooms, we believe women deserve to understand these changes — and receive compassionate, informed support every step of the way.
