Women’s Mental Health

Support through hormonal, reproductive, and emotional transitions.

Women’s mental health can be shaped by more than what is happening in the mind. Hormonal changes, relationships, identity, life experiences, and the body can all influence how we feel and experience ourselves.

Known Self Therapy has a growing clinical focus in women’s mental health, with support for concerns related to PMS and PMDD, menstrual-cycle-related emotional changes, pregnancy and prenatal mental health, postpartum adjustment, and other reproductive transitions.

You may find yourself feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, or unlike yourself during certain times in your cycle or seasons of life. Therapy can offer a space to slow down and better understand what you are experiencing—emotionally, relationally, and within your body.

Using an emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and somatic approach, we can explore the connection between your emotions, patterns, relationships, past experiences, and physical responses. The goal isn't to separate your mental health from your body, but to understand how the different parts of your experience may be connected.

Areas of support may include:

PMS & PMDD
Menstrual-cycle-related mood changes
Pregnancy & prenatal mental health
Postpartum adjustment
Anxiety during reproductive transitions
Identity & relationship changes
Hormonal & reproductive transitions
