You're the steady one
From the outside, your life looks fine. Inside, you're anxious, waking at 3am, snapping at the kids over small things, and carrying a loss or a change you haven't had time to feel.
Maybe you became a mom later in life, and you're raising young kids while your body changes and your parents get older. Perimenopause has shifted the ground your coping skills were built on, and there's nowhere in your week to think about any of it for longer than the drive to school.
Hormones are part of it. They may not be all of it.
Your OB-GYN can treat the hormonal side of perimenopause, and that care matters. If the anxiety, irritability and overwhelm are still there, or old hurts are coming back up, there may be something underneath that needs attention too.
That's the part I help with. Your OB-GYN treats the hormones. I work on what they stirred up.

I'm Eddie Theokas, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist in Bordentown, and a therapist since 2002. I help moms in midlife and perimenopause with anxiety, stress and trauma.
I'm also 48, in perimenopause, and raising two young kids, so I know this season from both chairs. I work with your body and nervous system as well as your story, using EMDR, sandplay and somatic work.

A pause before you snap
Old memories that lose their charge
