Specialized Women’s Mental Health Counselling in Moncton, Gander and St. John’s
Everest Therapeutics specializes in women’s mental health counselling, including support for perimenopause, menopause, ADHD, PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain, pregnancy, postpartum mental health, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, and major life transitions.
We offer in-person women’s mental health counselling in Moncton, New Brunswick, and Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. Secure virtual counselling is available for women in St. John’s, throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, across New Brunswick, and in other provinces where our therapists are registered.
Women’s mental health is influenced by much more than thoughts and emotions. Hormonal changes, reproductive health, chronic pain, neurodivergence, relationships, caregiving, work, trauma, identity, and the pressure to continue functioning can all affect your emotional well-being.
At Everest Therapeutics, women’s health is not an afterthought or a small item on a long list of concerns. It is an area of focused care within our counselling practice.
A Place Where Women’s Experiences Are Taken Seriously
Too many women are told that their pain is normal, their mood changes are “just hormones,” or that their exhaustion and difficulty functioning are simply stress. Others spend years seeking answers for symptoms that affect nearly every part of their lives.
We understand how frustrating and isolating it can be to repeatedly explain what is happening and still feel dismissed. Over time, this can lead you to question your own experience, minimize your symptoms, or feel ashamed that you are not coping better.
Everest Therapeutics offers a safer therapeutic landing place where you can talk openly about your mental, emotional, hormonal, and reproductive health without having to prove that your experience is real.
We listen carefully, reduce stigma, and help you understand how your symptoms affect your emotions, relationships, work, identity, and daily life. Together, you and your therapist can develop coping skills that are practical, personalized, and realistic.
Perimenopause and Menopause Counselling
Perimenopause and menopause can affect mood, memory, sleep, energy, concentration, relationships, and emotional regulation. You may feel anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, tearful, disconnected, or unlike yourself. You may also experience grief, anger, low mood, panic, reduced confidence, or changes in your sense of identity.
For some women, hormonal changes make existing ADHD symptoms significantly harder to manage. Strategies that once helped you stay organized, meet responsibilities, or regulate your emotions may suddenly feel less effective.
Our perimenopause and menopause therapists can help you:
Understand the emotional effects of hormonal changes
Cope with anxiety, irritability, low mood, and overwhelm
Manage brain fog, fatigue, and disrupted sleep
Adjust ADHD strategies as your needs change
Communicate your needs to partners, family members, and healthcare providers
Navigate changes in body image, sexuality, identity, and relationships
Develop sustainable coping skills for work and daily life
Process grief connected to aging, change, or the end of a life stage
Counselling does not replace medical assessment or treatment. It provides a supportive place to address the emotional and psychological effects of perimenopause and menopause while you pursue any medical care you may need.
Mental Health Support for Endometriosis, PCOS and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Endometriosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain, and other reproductive health conditions can affect far more than physical health. Living with pain, fatigue, unpredictable symptoms, medical appointments, or uncertainty can influence your work, relationships, intimacy, body image, and overall quality of life.
Being dismissed or misunderstood by healthcare providers can create additional distress. You may feel angry, discouraged, isolated, or uncertain about whether you can trust your own body.
Therapy can provide support for:
Coping with chronic pain and fatigue
Medical anxiety and distress
Feeling dismissed or disbelieved
Grief about changes in health or functioning
Body image and identity concerns
Intimacy and relationship changes
Workplace stress and reduced capacity
Communicating needs and setting boundaries
Advocating for yourself without carrying the process alone
Our therapists will not tell you that your physical symptoms are imaginary or that you simply need to manage stress more effectively. We recognize that physical and mental health affect one another and that both deserve compassionate attention.
Counselling for PMDD and Hormone-Related Mood Changes
PMDD and menstrual-cycle-related mood changes can cause intense emotional symptoms, including depression, anxiety, irritability, hopelessness, rejection sensitivity, and difficulty regulating emotions.
These patterns can be confusing and disruptive, particularly when you feel relatively well during other parts of your cycle. They can affect relationships, work, parenting, self-esteem, and your ability to trust your own reactions.
Women’s mental health counselling can help you recognize patterns, prepare for more difficult times in your cycle, develop coping and communication strategies, and reduce the shame that often accompanies hormone-related emotional changes.
ADHD and Neurodivergence in Women
ADHD in women is often missed, misunderstood, or diagnosed later in life. Many women become skilled at masking their difficulties, overpreparing, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves until they burn out.
You may appear capable while privately struggling with procrastination, disorganization, sensory overload, emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, forgetfulness, or chronic overwhelm. Hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause can also affect ADHD symptoms.
Our therapists provide ADHD-informed counselling that considers the realities of women’s lives. Therapy may include:
Practical executive-functioning strategies
Support for rejection sensitivity
Emotional-regulation skills
Reducing shame and self-criticism
Identifying masking and unsustainable coping patterns
Creating routines that reflect your actual capacity
Navigating relationships, work, parenting, and caregiving
Understanding the interaction between ADHD and hormonal changes
The goal is not to make you better at forcing yourself through impossible expectations. It is to help you understand your brain, work with your needs, and build a life that feels more manageable.
Pregnancy, Postpartum and Fertility Support
Pregnancy, postpartum changes, fertility challenges, and pregnancy loss can bring complex emotions that are not always openly discussed. You may experience anxiety, depression, grief, anger, guilt, identity changes, relationship stress, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.
Our therapists offer a nonjudgmental place to talk honestly about experiences that may not match how you expected this stage of life to feel.
Counselling may support you through:
Pregnancy and postpartum anxiety or depression
Birth-related distress or trauma
Fertility challenges and treatment
Miscarriage and pregnancy loss
Changes in identity and relationships
Parenting stress and emotional overload
Body image and intimacy concerns
The pressure to feel grateful or happy
Returning to work after pregnancy or parental leave
You do not need to hide difficult feelings or protect other people from the reality of your experience during therapy.
