By secure video telehealth. Stephanie replies within two business days.
You may be here because…
Therapy is not about becoming a different person. It is a place to slow down, understand what is happening, and find a way of carrying things that costs you less.
- People rely on you, and from the outside you look like you are handling it.
- Underneath, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, flat or on edge, and rest does not fix it.
- Something that happened, recently or long ago, still shows up in how you react.
- You have talked it through before and understand it, but it has not shifted.

Women's midlife mental health
For perimenopause, menopause, and the identity shifts and emotional overload that can come with them.
