PMDD, Perimenopause & Menopause
hormone support
Many women moving through PMDD, perimenopause, or menopause describe feeling like they’ve been temporarily replaced by a more anxious, irritable, emotional, or forgetful version of themselves. You might notice mood swings that feel bigger than the moment, sudden waves of anxiety, low motivation, brain fog, changes in your body that you didn’t exactly order, or tension in relationships because no one quite knows what to do with this “new you.” If you’ve found yourself thinking, “This cannot just be stress” or “I don’t even recognize myself,” you’re not alone - and you’re not imagining it.
At Find Your Healthy, I am dedicated to reimagining care for women navigating hormone issues. I want to help you make sense of what’s happening and give you tools that actually make daily life feel manageable again. Together, we can sort out the emotional ups and downs, build strategies to handle anxiety and overwhelm, and develop ways to calm your mind and body when everything feels a bit louder than usual. Therapy also offers space to process identity shifts, body changes, and the grief that sometimes comes with this stage of life - all while helping you rebuild confidence and compassion for yourself. With support, these transitions become something you can navigate with clarity, steadiness, and maybe even a renewed sense of yourself.
This is your invitation to make yourself a priority. Let’s get you on the way to feeling like yourself again.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause isn’t just about physical changes—it can feel like an entirely new personality at times. While some aspects of perimenopause symptoms are beyond our control, there are highly effective strategies to help manage the emotional and psychological ups and downs of this life stage.
In therapy, we work together to develop personalized tools for mood regulation, stress management, and coping with irritability, as well as processing the grief and transitions often experienced during perimenopause. For women navigating early menopause, I also support clients in learning how to advocate effectively with their medical providers.
Sometimes, the greatest relief comes from simply feeling understood and supported during this transition. Investing in your emotional well-being during perimenopause can help you navigate this season with resilience, clarity, and confidence.
The psychological symptoms of perimenopause look different for everyone, but there are some common ways it can present:
unexplained anger
changes in body image
low self-esteem
difficulty with word recall
changes in relationships
depression
irritability
anxiety
low sex drive
brain fog/forgetfulness
PMDD
Do you feel like a different person for 10–14 days each month?
Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is far more than severe PMS. It is a hormone-based disorder that causes both physical and emotional symptoms, often affecting relationships, work performance, and overall well-being.
While you can’t choose to have PMDD, you can choose how to manage it. Evidence-based behavioral strategies can significantly reduce the impact of PMDD, helping you navigate mood swings, irritability, and stress, and improve how you relate to yourself and others during this challenging phase of the month.
With the right support, women with PMDD can regain control, foster emotional resilience, and experience greater balance throughout their cycle.
