Dr. Lea A. Theodore

The transition through perimenopause and menopause is a significant milestone that often leaves women feeling isolated. This phase represents a profound shift in cognitive function, emotional regulation, and professional identity. When "brain fog" and fluctuating moods disrupt your daily life, it is essential to have a psychological framework for the journey ahead. This professionally facilitated group offers a confidential space to navigate these changes. We focus on re-authoring your identity for this next chapter. Navigate your evolution with clarity and confidence. This is not a pause. It is a pivot toward your most empowered self.
