Menopause CBT Clinic

Many people try to control their stress by telling themselves to calm down. If you tried that in the past you probably know that that method rarely works. In my sessions, I often teach women the power of breath to help control the stress reaction. Here is a thorough explanation from a neuroscientist Andrew Huberman how this method works and how to apply the physiological sigh to calm down when feeling under stress.

Last week, a new client told me that a therapist she saw the month before had said: “There’s no therapy for menopause because it's a physical issue. Therapy is for mental health problems.”

And sadly… I’ve heard this more than once.

But here’s the truth: Menopause can bring a range of mental health challenges because it affects brain chemistry, mood regulation, identity, sleep, and emotional resilience.

This client wasn’t just dealing with hot flushes. She was dealing with:
• intrusive thoughts
• chronic sleep issues
• unpredictable mood swings
• anxiety and emotional overwhelm
And she felt completely unsupported.

Hearing stories like this is what led me to create this FREE resource for mental health professionals: “Nine Myths Mental Health Professionals STILL Believe About Menopause - and What TO DO Instead”

Inside, you’ll uncover the most common misconceptions that get in the way of effective support and how to start doing things differently.

Whether you're a therapist, psychologist, or coach, this will shift the way you work with women going through menopause.

Women deserve access to effective psychological support, and menopause-informed psychological care can help deliver it.

Have you been feeling like you're not quite yourself lately?

Mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, exhaustion… it’s easy to wonder if you’re “losing it.” You’re not. And you’re not alone!!!!

It’s exactly what I see in my clinic day in and day out.

The truth is, menopause can have a huge impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing, but most women are never told why, or what to do about it.

To help you understand the WHY, I put together a free video called ‘The Midlife Shift: From Menopause to Inner-GLOW’.

It will take you just 20 minutes to understand:
✨ Why menopause affects your mind and mood
✨ How to understand what’s happening in your brain
✨ Simple tools (like the ABCD method) to take back control, starting today

Believe me when I say: You don’t have to just get through it. There is a way to get back control over your mind, body and life and feel like yourself again.

Did you know your heart and mental health are deeply connected, especially during menopause?

Many of us approach menopause with fear - fear of losing our youth, fertility, looks, and so much more. It’s easy to focus on what might slip away. But what if we shifted our perspective?

The truth is that menopause isn’t just about loss - it can be about profound gains.

Menopause can brings wisdom, clarity, and strength in the face of adversity. It builds resilience and can unlock a sense of empowerment you may not have felt before.

And yes, you can rediscover your GLOW, but not the kind that’s tied to perfect skin or fleeting beauty standards. This GLOW is deeper and more meaningful:

💛 G: Personal and emotional Growth
💛 L: Loving Life and yourself
💛 O: Optimism and hope for a better future
💛 W: Wisdom, wonder, and wellbeing

This GLOW isn’t about how you look—it’s about how you feel, how you thrive, and how you embrace this next stage of life with strength and resilience.

We can change perspective and celebrate the gains of menopause together. What does GLOW look like for you? Please leave your thoughts below 👇
