Women’s Health Counselling in Maple Ridge, BC
Hormonal shifts, chronic pain, postpartum changes, or experiences of medical dismissal can deeply affect mood, identity, and nervous system regulation. These experiences are often minimized or misunderstood, leaving many women feeling alone in something that is both physiological and relational.
Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what your body and nervous system are responding to, and build steadiness during times of transition.
Perimenopause & Hormonal Mood Changes
Perimenopause can bring anxiety, mood swings, sleep disruption, grief, and questions about identity or changing roles. These shifts are real and often disorienting.
While hormonal changes are biological, their impact is shaped by stress history, support systems, and nervous system capacity. Therapy during this stage focuses on emotional regulation, self-understanding, and navigating change with clarity and self-compassion.
Postpartum Depression & Identity
The postpartum period can intensify vulnerability. Hormonal fluctuations, sleep disruption, and the demands of caregiving can amplify anxiety, sadness, irritability, or disconnection.
If earlier attachment injuries or trauma are part of your history, this stage can bring them closer to the surface. Therapy offers stabilization, space to process complex feelings, and support in rebuilding a sense of grounded identity.
Endometriosis, CPOS, Chronic Pain, & Medical Trauma
Living with chronic pain, or reproductive health concerns such as Endometriosis or CPOS can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Many women also experience medical gaslighting or dismissal, which can compound stress and erode self-trust.
When the body has felt unheard or misunderstood, therapy can support nervous system regulation, processing of medical trauma, and restoration of confidence in your internal experience.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Women’s Health
Women’s health concerns do not exist in isolation. They interact with stress history, relational patterns, and nervous system regulation.
Our approach is trauma-informed and regulation focused. We prioritize safety, stabilization, and pacing. Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
EMDR for medical or relational trauma
Somatic therapies to support regulation
Parts-based work for identity and self-concept
Expressive approaches for integration
The goal is not to pathologize normal transitions but to help you feel more steady, more resourced, and more connected to yourself during times of change.
