Psychotherapy for Menopause?

 

Menopause is having a moment right now. Why? Women are finally not taking pats on the head and shoulder shrugs for answers to their menopause symptoms.

In fact, they're finally realizing how many different physical, emotional, and psychological experiences might have to do with perimenopause and menopause.

  • anxiety, depression and fatigue
