Therapy for Perimenopause and Menopause
in Washington State
Perimenopause and Menopause Can Be a Lot to Carry
But You Don’t Have to keep holding it all by yourself
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than just your physical body. While hot flashes and disrupted sleep may be common talking points, what’s less often discussed are the emotional and mental health challenges that come with this transition.
You might feel more irritable, less energized, more anxious, or emotionally flat. You may cry more often, lose focus, or feel like you are no longer yourself. These symptoms are not imagined and they are not uncommon.
This stage of life often collides with other stressors: demanding careers, caregiving for children and aging parents, and the pressure to keep everything running smoothly. It’s a lot. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Whether you’re in Bellevue, Tacoma, Kirkland, Lacey, Olympia, or anywhere else in Washington State, therapy can help you feel more grounded, steady, and connected to yourself again.

What Is Therapy for perimenopause and menopause?
A Compassionate Space to feel seen, steady, and supported
Therapy offers a safe place to explore what you’re going through emotionally, physically, and mentally. This stage of life brings hormonal shifts, identity changes, and social pressure that can leave many women feeling lost, disconnected, or dismissed.
At Crescent Moon Therapy, we help women navigate the unique emotional challenges tied to this season of life. Therapy gives you space to talk openly, be heard, and understand what you are experiencing so you can move forward with more clarity and strength.
Common challenges that may arise during perimenopause and menopause include:
Persistent low mood or irritability
Increased anxiety or panic attacks
Emotional sensitivity or frequent crying
Fatigue, burnout, or feeling detached
Changes in sleep, appetite, or concentration
Aches and pains without a clear physical cause
Feelings of identity loss or disconnection
Overwhelm from caregiving roles or life transitions
You are not imagining this. And you do not need to keep pushing through alone. With the right support, you can feel more like yourself again. Let’s talk about what therapy might look like for you.
You are not broken. You are a woman moving through a powerful shift and you deserve support.
What to Expect in Therapy?
Therapy that meets you where you are, emotionally and practically
Therapy sessions are 55 minutes long and fully virtual. You can attend from your home, your office, or wherever feels most comfortable. Whether you live in Federal Way, Everett, Bellingham, Renton, Kennewick, or anywhere in Washington State, you can access expert care without needing to commute.
In our work together, we will explore how hormonal changes and life stressors are impacting your thoughts, emotions, and daily life. You’ll gain tools to better manage your mood, reconnect with your needs, and regain a sense of balance.
We use evidence based approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to address negative thoughts and unhelpful patterns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): to align your life with what truly matters
Mindfulness and body based practices: to regulate the nervous system and ease overwhelm
Compassion focused support: to shift internal narratives and rebuild self-trust
Therapy is collaborative. We go at your pace, and you are always in control of what you share. The goal is to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
