Support Group for Women Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause

A virtual peer-support and education group for women in Maryland, Virginia and DC.

Has something felt off lately?

You may feel more anxious than you used to. You may be exhausted but unable to sleep. Small things may feel harder to handle. You may find yourself wondering, “Is this stress, burnout, aging, hormones, or something else?”

You are not imagining it.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect mood, sleep, anxiety, concentration, and emotional resilience. This group offers a supportive space to explore the emotional side of perimenopause and menopause, including anxiety, mood changes, sleep disruption, overwhelm, relationships, identity, and the transitions of midlife.

What to expect

Guided Discussion

Explore the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that often accompany perimenopause and menopause.

Connection and support

Connect with women navigating similar changes and realize you are not alone.

Research-informed education

Learn what current research tells us about mood, anxiety, sleep, stress, and hormonal transitions.

Occasional expert guests

Hear from voices in women’s health, pelvic health, mental health, nutrition, fitness, and related specialties.

This group was born from countless conversations with women who said, 'I wish someone had told me what to expect.' My hope is that this space reminds you that you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you for feeling the way you do”

— Alexis de la Rosa, LGPC, NCC

Common questions

  • This is a peer support and education group, not group therapy. It is led by a licensed therapist but does not create a clinical relationship or a treatment record.

  • No. You are welcome to listen, share, or keep your camera off. Many women come quiet to a first session and find their voice in time.

  • Yes. Group guidelines emphasize confidentiality and respect. What is shared in the group stays in the group.

A standing invitation
