Melissa Dardiz, MS, LMHC-QS
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Florida)

Anxiety feels different. Your patience is shorter. Sleep isn't what it used to be. You may feel overwhelmed, emotional, disconnected, or simply unlike yourself.

For many women, midlife brings changes in relationships, responsibilities, identity and our bodies—sometimes all at once.

Therapy can provide a place to understand what's happening, develop healthier ways of coping, and feel more grounded through this season of life.

NEW — Perimenopause Therapeutic Support Group

You don't have to navigate this season alone.

An 8-week virtual therapy group for women experiencing the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany perimenopause.Together, we'll explore anxiety, mood changes, overwhelm, sleep-related stress, changing relationships, body image, identity, boundaries, and practical ways to cope with the transitions of midlife.
