Perimenopause & Menopause Therapy Support 
in Charlotte, NC

What Is Perimenopause & Menopause?

• Perimenopause is the transitional time before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate and symptoms begin—this phase can last years.

• Menopause is diagnosed after 12 months without a period and marks the end of reproductive years.

• Postmenopause follows and can bring continued physical and emotional changes.

Symptoms are not just physical. Emotional health can be significantly impacted, especially for women with a history of trauma, anxiety, or depression.

Mental Health Symptoms Related to Perimenopause & Menopause

• Increased anxiety or panic attacks

• Depression or low mood

• Mood swings or rage

• Sleep disturbances

• Brain fog or memory difficulties

You're not alone—and you're not "too sensitive." These are real, biologically rooted experiences.
