PERIMENOPAUSE PSYCHIATRY
Holistic Mental Health for Women
Perimenopause is a natural hormonal transition, yet for many women it brings unexpected emotional changes — anxiety, depression, irritability, brain fog, and disrupted sleep. If you’re struggling to feel like yourself during this stage of life, compassionate support is available.
At Connect Integrative Psychiatry, we provide specialized perimenopause psychiatry in Austin using a holistic, personalized approach designed to support your emotional health, nervous system, and hormonal shifts together.
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, often beginning in a woman’s late 30s or 40s. During this time, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels can significantly impact mood, cognition, and emotional resilience.
Many women are surprised to learn that mental health symptoms are often the earliest signs of perimenopause.
Our Integrative Approach to Perimenopause Psychiatry
Our approach blends conventional psychiatry with integrative care to address both symptoms and underlying contributors.
Your care is individualized and may include:
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
Hormone-informed mental health care
Nutritional psychiatry and targeted supplementation
Nervous system regulation strategies
