Each woman will go through perimenopause and menopause in her life. Each woman's journey will be different, both in what she experiences and how long the process lasts. 98% of women report that they experience a change in their mental health during this time.
Some mental symptoms of perimenopause include:

Counseling can be a great place to talk about stressors, gain support, increase your understanding of what is going on in your brain and body, and learn new ways to cope with the changes. Unfortunately, we don't have control over the hormone changes in our bodies, but we do have the ability to gain an awareness and use tools to help us thrive during this challenging time in our lives.
