Menopause & Midlife Mental Health Therapy
in Morgantown, WV & Telehealth across WV & VA

Menopause and midlife transitions can bring emotional and physical changes that feel unfamiliar, overwhelming, or difficult to explain. While hot flashes and sleep disruptions are commonly discussed, the emotional impact of this stage is often overlooked.

Many women experience increase anxiety, mood changes, irritability, brain fog, shifts in confidence, and a sense of identity change during perimenopause and menopause. These experiences are real, common, and treatable.

At In Tune Counseling, we provide therapy that supports the emotional and psychological aspects of menopause with compassion, education, and evidence-based care.

How Menopause Can Impact Emotional Well-Being

Menopause-related changes may include:

Increased anxiety or panic symptoms
Mood changes, irritability, or emotional sensitivity
Sleep disruption and exhaustion
Difficulty concentrating or "brain fog"
Changes in self-confidence and identity
Increased stress tolerance challenges
Relationship strains or emotional disconnection

These changes are influences by hormonal shifts, nervous system regulation, life transitions, and accumulated stress.

The Emotional Experience of Midlife

For many women, the stage brings:

Identity shifts and reasssessment of roles
Caregiving stress (pareniting, aging parents, work demands)
Changes in relationships and communication
Grief related to aging, fertility, or life expectations
Pressure to "push through" rather than slow down

Therapy offers a space to process these transitions, rebuild self-trust, and develop tools that support emotional stability and clarity.
