Joyful Living Behavioral Health

If you feel like a stranger in your own life lately, it might be worth checking in with your hormones.
In clinical practice, we see this regularly. Sudden anxiety. A depressed mood that doesn't respond to the coping tools that used to work. A general sense that something is off but nothing obvious explains it.
There's often a physiological reason for that.

When progesterone drops, the brain loses one of its natural buffers against stress. When estrogen drops, inflammation increases. Your system isn't broken, it's shifting in a real, measurable, and potentially even treatable way.

Our 10-week perimenopause and menopause therapy group at Joyful Living approaches this through a neurobiological lens. We look at what exactly is happening in your brain and body during this transition so you can understand it, cope with it, and move forward with your new physiology rather than against it.

We recently had the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser through the Lane County Medical Society’s Physicians Wellness Program!
