Menopause Psychotherapist
You shouldn’t have to dread perimenopause and menopause
Psychotherapy can help you manage the emotional and identity impact of this transition, so you feel empowered instead of blindsided.
The hot flashes, you expected.
The existential crisis, you didn’t.
Perimenopause and menopause are a fundamental renegotiation with who we are as women.
It’s growing up, part two. And just like the first time around, it’s a doozy, emotionally:
Body image struggles as you almost don’t recognize yourself in the mirror
Grappling with aging and mortality more than you ever had to before
Grieving the younger version of yourself, even if you love your life
Sudden increases in anxiety, depression, or emotional instability
Feeling the countdown about having children (making a decision, emotional aspects of fertility treatment, relationship strain, reckoning with not having biological kids)
New or worsening physical symptoms that make daily life harder
Hello, I’m Jennifer Warpool, a women's mental health therapist
One of the worst parts about perimenopause or menopause is that most women have no one to have productive conversations with.
Friends either commiserate or don’t seem to be struggling with it (or at least not talking about it). Husbands or partners don’t get it. And your doctor’s recommendations stop at the physical symptoms.
That’s why I’m so passionate about spreading the word of the mental health impacts of this life transition.
I never want anyone to feel alone, misunderstood, or out of control because of what their body is going through.
If you’re navigating menopause right now, wondering if you should get back into therapy, I’m here to help.

Perimenopause and menopause counseling is therapy specifically focused on the emotional, psychological, and identity-related changes that come with perimenopause and menopause.
It's a space to process what you're going through (the mood swings, the anxiety, the changes in how you see yourself and your body) with someone who understands that this is about a lot more than just hormones.
-
Yes, often more than people expect. Many women come to me having already tried to push through on their own, telling themselves they should just be able to handle this.
But the emotional weight of this transition is significant, and it deserves support. In our work together, you'll have a dedicated space to process what you're feeling, build strategies for managing the harder days, and start to reconnect with your sense of self. Most women leave sessions feeling clearer, less alone, and more equipped to navigate what's ahead.
-
Yes! If you’re dealing with a big decision about having children, infertility, or the impact of realizing children are not in the cards for you, therapy is an excellent place to process and find peace.
-
Sessions are $250 per 50-minute session.

Think of it as a low-stakes first conversation. You can tell me a little about what you're going through, ask me anything you want about how I work, and get a feel for whether we'd be a good fit.
-
No, I am an out-of-network therapist. This is an intentional choice that means we can focus entirely on what you need, without insurance companies dictating how often we meet or what we work on.
Some clients submit receipts to their insurance for potential reimbursement, and I'm happy to provide the documentation you need for that.
-
Yes, I do! I’m a licensed therapist in CT and NY, and can see clients anywhere in Connecticut and New York state in virtual sessions.
