Queer Perimenopause & Postmenopause Support

Perimenopause and postmenopause bring profound physical, emotional, and relational changes—shifts that can feel both challenging and transformative. For queer and trans individuals, these life phases often come with unique experiences that are rarely discussed or acknowledged in mainstream healthcare or society.

At Luminations Psychotherapy, we provide compassionate, affirming support tailored to the needs of LGBTQIA+ people navigating perimenopause and postmenopause. Whether you’re facing mood changes, identity shifts, relationship transitions, or questions about your evolving body, we offer a safe space to explore and process these complex experiences.

Using psychodynamic and relational therapy, we help you understand how past experiences and current relationships influence how you navigate this stage of life. Through a supportive therapeutic relationship, we work with you to foster resilience, self-acceptance, and emotional wellbeing as you move through this transition.

Identity & Systemic Considerations

Queer, trans, and nonbinary individuals may encounter additional challenges during perimenopause and postmenopause, including medical misunderstandings, erasure, and societal invisibility. These systemic barriers can deepen feelings of isolation or dysphoria during a time of significant change.

At Luminations, we approach this work through an identity-affirming and trauma-informed lens, honoring your whole self and the specific ways your identity shapes your experience. Our goal is to create a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to embrace this chapter on your own terms.
