Assessment:

Hormonal changes for women over their life span can trigger insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, and issues with attention and memory. You likely will need coordinated efforts from mental health practitioners AND physical health/hormonal specialist practitioners.

​

The Menopause Management Assessment is designed to support women as they navigate the physical, emotional, and psychological changes that accompany menopause, by providing you a baseline of areas of concern through assessments and then providing personal recommendations to increase functioning- all in one report! This comprehensive assessment provides a holistic approach to managing common menopause symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and stress. The assessments and report will offer a comprehensive picture of current functioning, with evidence-based recommendations for you to put into action. The package includes tools for stress reduction, sleep hygiene tips, nutritional considerations, and practical exercises to improve resilience. With completion of this package, women will be equipped to embrace this life transition with confidence, reduce the mental health challenges associated with menopause, and reclaim their well-being during this transformative phase of life.

 

Management (included and optional add-on):

As part of this package you will receive 3x 50 min counselling sessions. Our therapists utilize evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and emotional regulation techniques, amongst other therapies to  to increase management and empowerment. Here is where you will learn to manage fluctuating emotions, cope with physical changes, and address the impact of menopause on daily life, all while cultivating a stronger sense of self-care and self-compassion.

​

Dr. Erinn is ready to take part in your team from the mental health practitioner standpoint. She works closely with menopause specialty nurse practitioners, general physicians, and OBGYNs in this regard, as an "all hands on deck" approach is often needed.

​

In this package, Dr. Erinn will:

• utilize assessment tools to differentiate mental health from changes that are hormone driven

• empower you with education that validates your experience

• create a toolkit specific to you for that holistically addresses your needs

• assist you to connect with medical providers to coordinate care and prescriptive needs 

• work with you around issues related to body image, insomnia, sexual changes, role transitions, and mental health comorbidities to provide recommendations for action in your report

• Provide 3 counselling appointments (50 mins each) where we will utilize evidence-based strategies for your identified areas of concern, and work through those, one counselling appointment at a time- at your pace. (Additional counselling sessions can also be purchased if requested).
